Trying to decide between the M8560 and NH T4.75

Oh I did get a price on a t4.85. Almost 58k!

Wow! That's like 5grand more than most expensive on PDF.

I can't say much about the NH, our dealer handles them both, but I've never used one, sure look nice though. We really like our M8540 and will keep it, but I had to pick up some extra keys and there was a M9960 on the lot, pretty darned nice tractor.

We had a buddy set in our old tractor and it was handy, but it was no big deal going to one without; some will feel differently, so think about it.

I'm seriously considering spending a little extra and getting it. Gonna get some more info tomorrow .

There's actually a good deal on a m108s too. I don't think I need that much tractor though. Anyone know the main differences in 9960 and m108s? I know it's a little more hp and weight but how do the cabs compare etc.

you can always use a bigger tractor.so if you have the money id go with the 9960 no q about it.like foremen ive got the 7040SU.am it does all i ask it todo.but id still like a bigger tractor.but that prolly wont ever happen.

I've found some pictures but that's about as good as I can find. Seems the 9960 may have a little nicer cab. The vents in the 9960 aren't in the roof like on the 108. Maybe someone that has more experience than me can chime in here.....but I'd think having the air vents in the roof would freeze the top of you and leave your legs warm in the summer. Seems having them down around the middle would be a lot nicer. Maybe I'm just over thinking things.
