Buying Advice New JD models

[Rob-D]

I saw that in my search, and agrees with what I thought. Because of that height limitation I would only buy Limited Cat 1 implements for a Limited Cat 1 hitch. Something to consider for someone buying a sub-CUT who is thinking he might upgrade someday to a tractor with a full Cat 1 hitch. He would then need to replace all his 3PH implements. While they would fit the larger tractor hitch, ground engaging abilities would be Limited (pun intended).

JD,
That's exactly my thinking and when I bought my first 2320 it was the point that decided over the 2305 which the dealer showed me first.

AFAIK the I-Match could work with limited Cat 1. I believe the only difference with limited is the lift height, thus all the limited Cat 1 implements with shorter height so they can be raised off the ground. No direct experience with this so could be wrong. Always looking to learn.

I noticed in Deere advertising they show the 4105 and 4005, along with the 2305 are not I-Match compatible. So the incompatibility is more than just limited lift height. I expect someone here knows why the 4105 and 4005 are not compatible? Just curious.

That's interesting! I put an I-match on my friends 990 (4005) so we could share implements. It's without problems.

The 2305 is Imatch compatible, but not Autohitch or Autoconnect compatible. Would probably be the same for the 4105 and 4005

You are correct. It does say I-Match AutoHitch. Missed that. Thanks for clearing it up.

Seems like Deere didn't approve the YouTube video being released? Just guessing. Anyhow, it appears to have been removed. hmmmm...

Does anyone know when JD will officially announce the 2011 1026R?
or when they will show up at Dealers?

One of the MTF members posted that he was asked by his local dealer to stop by the 1st week of October for a Fall Drive Green Event. The dealer told him that there would be a 1026R there and wanted him to come by and see it. Also told him to enter a drawing for it. Seems they are going to give it away. I think the member lives in Kansas. Wish I were close enough to go see and drive it. I am pretty sure I want one.

That sounds like a once in a life time thing. I got something similar once, i got to try out a boomer 8n. If Deere is giving away that tractor, where do i sign up! :laughing:

A picture of new 1026r model?

 

[ralphtt]

I sure hope not. Ugliest CUT I ever saw. And the fixed height ROPS would make it unusable for me.

Might wanna go back and read the whole thread...

That is the 1023D, fixed ROPS, less creature comforts. but yes, thst what they look like.

 

[JDGREEN4ME]

Why isn't there any info yet on the JD web site? They are sure pushing info on the new '11 UTV.

 

[JDinVT]

Gag. I dd see a photo, and I think the look is a step backwards. I would not buy a tractor for looks, but I would not want to marry a big ugly, no matter how well she cooked...more so since there are better lookers for about the same cash with simular skillz.

Geez guys, the new JD is not that bad. It could be worse. It could look like this:

EDIT: Then again, after taking another close look at the 1026r pic, maybe it is worse...... Impressive comes to mind. Like the features though.
