JD 5101E vs NH TD5050

[peter_vii]

Which one to get?

JD 5101E+563 loader for C$52K

or

NH TD5050+Stoll #8HDPM loader for C$49K

Both brand new, same 2 yr warranty, same 0% for 48 mths financing.

JD has wet clutch and power shuttle, and better ergonomics (I think).

NH has better pump (it has two) 26 GPM vs 22.5 GPM on JD and NH
has 5000lb 3pt lift vs 3000lbs on JD

Which one would you buy and why?

Thanks,
Peter

You picked a couple of pretty closely matched tractors there. I'm not a JD fan, but I would lean toward it if I was going to do a lot of work with the loader. Power shuttle has a real advantage in that respect. If I was going to do primarily work off the 3 pt I might lean toward the higher capacity on the NH, but I would suspect that the real world difference is not as great as the specs show.

Are both dealers good solid dealerships?
