    Default Regret buying a JD 5055E?

    Anyone regret buying their JD 5055E (or 5065E or 5075E)? Anyone have maintenance issues or cold start issues?

    What do you mean "maintenance issues"?

    Inadequately lubricated front end, leaks, easily damaged driveline, problems with the PTO lever are all things that non-green sales's guys have hinted at. I have never seen a post complaining of problems but figured I would ask.

    Hmm... can't say that I've seen those problems discussed here. At least, with any frequency.

    The driveline configuration on the green tractor's looks very similar to some of the NH models. Almost a standard alignment.

    My guess is.. a salesman someplace is workin' real "hard" to make a sale!
