Comparison Tractor decision dilemma

Rambo33 · Jun 21, 2015

Thanks for your input everyone.
The two tractors in question are the JD 5075e and the Deutz Fahr Agrolux 320.

Agrolux 320.
Having played one too many games of Indian Roulette, the only 5E series tractors I'd consider start at 85E upwards.

Never heard of the 320. The JD has a solid repution for a basic utility tractor.

I have a 2011 5083E and I am happy with it. I should have gotten more HP but that is not a JD problem it's mine.

haha yeah that is the main reason I'm having doubts on the this model JD.

In my area, Deutz Fahr dealers are few and far between. The closest one to me is probably 2 - 3 hours. So I would have to be REALLY sure of both the tractor and the dealer to buy one. Hopefully, though, you have a good dealer nearby that has been around a long time.

I'll say one thing, I've looked at those Deutz that size and they really are a nice tractor!

The 410, well, the down-under equivalent, is on my shortlist

I looked at the 420 cab a few weeks ago out of curiosity, definitely something i'll keep in mind for my next cab tractor.

Dealers aren't an issue, they are both the same distance from me. JD are probably in my area more often but there are two different workshops for the DF.
