NX6010 vs RX6620 vs RX7320

WoodChuckDad · Sep 4, 2015

I've been to two dealers and I drove the nx6010 cab HST, nx4510 cab, HST and RX6620 power shuttle. I can get the nx6610 and the rx6620 (in cab) for about the same price. I can get the rx7300 for less than a grand more. That is an enormous amount of power for that price range.
All three of them will easily handle the tasks that I know I will have. Eventually I will be towing a sprayer around the property. I don't imagine the extra horsepower will hurt me. My experience with all 3 of these tractors is limited to test drives. There are some trade offs on size and convenience of use. 6 feet wide vs 7 feet wide. The rx tractors are almost a foot taller. The NX might fit better between tree rows in an apple orchard. The truth is that eventually neither of them will fit without touching trees. The size difference isn't that great.

I'm planning on getting the rx7320 due to the size and value that it brings. I like the HST of the nx6010 but the 7320 weighs 1400lbs more in open station and 1600lbs more in the cab. I also like the bigger tires on the RX.

My dealer says he can't keep a 7320 on the lot because they are moving so quickly. The only issue I see in your case is the trees. Depending on how much you have to go through woods, I think it would be worth it for a better tractor.

6' wide to 7' wide might also be a big price difference when buying implements.

FWIW, the NX6010 is 78" wide with industrial tires.

You may also want to think about trailering as well. If I had to do it over again, I would purchase a 24' long trailer instead of a 20' trailer for my NX6010.

+1 on this. The trailering issue is something to keep in mind while you're shopping so you're not surprised later. If your tractor ends up being a full 84" sidewall to sidewall, you won't be able to move it around with a nice car hauler like Eric's, or with many other standard-width equipment trailers, for that matter. You will likely need a deckover or a rollback truck. My NX4510HST cab is 84" with the big Titan rear tires, which I love. But I knew about the hauling going in.

I was not planning to trailer it. I was planning to have it delivered and that was it.

Unless you want the HST+ on the NX, the 7320 is probably the best deal, unless you have size issues.

Thanks to everyone for the information in this thread....the RX7320 is a very attractive tractor
but the trailering and implement needs as well as the width and height have me leaning towards the NX6010

Eric...are the filters & clean out screens easier to change out on the NX6010 open station vs the cab?

We've pretty much made up our minds on the NX6010 HST We've got 42 acres farely steep hills with hardwoods 15 acres of that is somewhat flat pasture to maintain. A couple of horses and small herd of goats to take care of.. we're in the driftless area of SW WI

We leaning toward the open station for now until we get the learning curve down better in a couple of years or less trade for a cab version.

TIA

Eric,
What size box blade and grapple are you using? I believe my DK55 has similar frame dimensions, although I think my rear track is 84". Are you satisfied with the sizes?

I've not seen the open-station set-up, but without AC, the condenser cannot be in the way. Regardless, I wouldn't let the poor design of clean-out screen detract from what is a good product.

FWIW, I've made an ad hoc 25 minutes 200 hour review of my tractor last weekend. I left off a pile of stuff, but it is better than nothing. I plan to upload it onto my YouTube channel tonight so it should be there tomorrow.

My grapple is 72" wide, the box scraper is a commercial 84" wide, about 2" deep and I think it is also 2" high. Basically it has Gannon dimensions and is made by Tuffline for Frontier.

All four of my tires are loaded with rim guard. The blade is wonderful except the scarifiers could be less prone to bending. Here is the very first time I used my Frontier BB4284H box scraper.
