I bought a Great Plains 3P606NT last year. My JD 4720 can lift it but it squats hard, even with the front ballasted with the loader.
I'm toying with getting an open station 2wd no loader 5325. It would be dedicated to my drill and bushhog. I'd use the extra funds from the 4720 sale for a skid loader or mini ex....decisions decisions....
Guessing a 5325 has a good bit more 3pt lift capacity? The one I'm looking at has 4 suitcase weights on the front. The other plus is the 5325 is about 11k and I could get 30+ for my 4720.
I am now thinking that if you need 4wd you should not be planting. Would others agree? Effectively rendering 4wd a moot point for my application? Agree or disagree?
