I watched the show... it was Ok. (I mean, really what kind of nitty-gritty can you expect from a TV show?)
Phone calls in were kinda funny. One guy pinned the attachment's manager's feet to the floor with his comment's that you don't have to leave the tractor seat to hook up implements using the JD quick hitch! You most often DO have to leave the seat to hook up attachments even using the quick hitch.
However, you can open the back window and with a bit of gymnastics drop those levers down to lock position - but, getting the top link adjusted just right - gotta be on the ground.
And the fellow from Texas - (old school, with a 2755) - and his comment, question about the rear transaxle weight and work longevity of the new models versus the old... well, the JD reps were hemmin' and hawin' about that!! 'Course the most truthful response would have been if the customer wants to have a tractor with more or less the same transmission/rear transaxle housing weight-dimensions as the 40-50-55's they'll have to move up to the M class. But, if you haven't seen them side by side - you wouldn't know that.
However, looking at the cabbed E's - they look like a very, very nice machine. And, if the price point to getting into a cab JD E series is as good as the JD reps were hoping to convince folk's that it was... well, then John Deere might be hitting quite a few home runs this year!! :thumbsup:
