Forget Blue Go Green
Model Year: 2015
I have a mint condition F4-85 purchased new, it now has only 160 hours. I thought John Deere was just too expensive, so I went blue with New Holland. Big mistake. Just out of warranty (probably designed to fail) my tractor started falling apart. It was obviously poor assembly. Bolts and screws are literally falling off the tractor, and not from abuse. I re-tightened bolts, nuts, and screws that were visible. The hardware under the dash and in the controls I constantly must be aware of. It always takes a service call for these type of failures and repairs. So, I called New Holland and told them my equipment is falling apart. I was informed that I was out of warranty and their was nothing they could do. I wanted to be assured that this would not happen again and I was ready to purchase new similar equipment. They could not assure me that their assembly plant is any better. The alleged money I saved going with New Holland was spent on service calls. Very simple, Go green. They have more reliability, better performance, and better backing of equipment; which all adds up to you get what you pay for. Stay away from New Holland.
Pros: It's a pretty blue
Cons: It's falling apart and its only got 160 hours
