I looked at a JD 6420 this past morning and it had 1,003 hours, 4wd, 640 loader, and a16 speed power quad transmission. It was a very comfortable tractor and seemed to be pretty much like new. I can get it for $60,000 which I think is a bit on the pricy side not to mention more than I would really like to spend. I do have a few concernes though...the biggest thing I can't get past is the electronic controlled things on this tractor, how reliable are they and down the road will it be a problem to rebuild. The electronic injection pump and the buttons that changes speed within each range are my biggest hang up. Also would this tractor be a good tractor to use in the hayfield pulling stuff like a square baler and a 9 foot haybine or would it be too much tractor for those implements. While I am buying a tractor I want to get something that will have enough hydraulic flow to run something like a bale bandit that ways if I would go that route in a few years I wouldn't have to change tractors again. That and a cab with good visibility is my main reason for going with a newer tractor.
How far back would I have to go to get less electronics and a metal hood and still have enough hydraulic capacity and a cab with good visibility? I had someone tell me that a 6410 had a metal hood and much less electronics, is that true? Thanks, Hayden
