How many hours on the meter does it take to have a "USED" tractor??Couple of drives around the dealer's lot...

250 Hours +........... I just hit 290 today on my 5085M... Took me a year to do that. Would you like me to rent a field to do donuts with?
I hate eHydro dont talk me in to that **** :laughing:
I have a 4700, it has a PR and I love it. Fun wheelie time...

I just never liked eHydro... It has some to zero torque. Rather have gears.

Whatever...it'll spin the tires when chained to a tree or plow...with the differential locked...:thumbsup:
That being said, get what you like.

Hours (up to a point) are irrevelent, it has more to do with if the unit has been settled with Deere or not.

I got my 4320 PR with one rear remote and loader hydraulics for 29,100 last fall in Lynden. 0% for 60mos too. Don't know how well I did deal-wise but hopefully that helps. I had hydro before in a 4200 and have run a 4320 hydro.
I wouldn't trade my reverser for hydro if you paid me (I do a lot of ground engaging work and pull a lot of hills, do very little loader work and when I do the trade-off is still in my favor). Love the PR.

I like the "positive" engagement of the PR, too! There's very little "gray area" with that tranny versus the eHydro. It's either "spinning or stalled or moving forward"! The eHydro is a "softer" tranny - it'll spin and stall - but it takes more to get it to do that...
That said; the PR can be alot more "pucker" when you're in close to buildings and fences and an inch or two can spell disaster!
I can now better see the advantages of the "creeper" feature with a PR transmission, too.
