This is something that I can't find in specs for tractors, that is what weight trailer can I pull. I expect it is not only the hp of the tractor, but the weight of the tractor itself as well. I have an 85 hp MFWD tractor that weighs somewhere between 3400kg (7500lbs) and 4000kg - brochures say...

Has anyone heard any noises about when John Deere is going to bring out Tier III engines in the 5025 series? I am comparing a 5425 with a Case JXU 85. The 5425 is the cheaper tractor and probably has the better cab and ergonomics. Both have the splitter 24X24 gearbox. The Case tractor, however...

Excerpt from Valtra website: "HiShift increases driver comfort by saving the effort of having to depress the clutch pedal up to hundreds of times a day." Don't see the sense in powerclutch or highshift buttons myself, if all they do is save you having to press the clutch pedal... unless it is...

Am reading on the deere website that some of their tractors have tiltable cabs. Can't for the life of me figure out how that would work, unless all your levers and footpedals were electronic or hydraulic. Has anyone tilted a tiltable cab?

This question covers both compacts and utility tractors. If you look at the brochures for any of the brands, they are big on quoting their max. lift capacity; for example the New Holland T5040 has a max lift capacity 4550kg - yay! Sounds great. Scroll further down the page and it gives you the...

Considering the 6030 series John Deere, probably the 6330, 6430 or 6530, in regards to a future purchase. Have yet to test-drive one. The initial walk around at the dealers, I was impressed with the fit and finish of these tractors, but looking on the websites I noticed something which bugs me a...

Whenever you hear something written on disc seeders, the advantages given over tyne seeders includes less hp requirement and faster sowing speeds. When looking at the figures for the Semeato drills made in South America, the power requirement for a 3.4 metre planter is 95hp (I assume engine hp)...

I noticed this discrepency when I was looking at the specs for the TLA and T5000 on the US New Holland Website, and it was also repeated on the Tractordata website as well. In the US, it seems the MFWD Cab TL80A and the JX80U only weigh 3400kg; whereas, in Australia and England, these models...

It is quite easy to find reviews on cars, but when it comes to tractors, they are really hard to find. The JXU seems alright on specs, but our local dealer doesn't seem to be stocking or trying to sell them. One reason in our area I think is that for a smaller sized utility tractor the JX is...

As yet, the only tractors that the manufacturers are providing with commonrail engines are in the bigger +100hp category. I guess the sub 100hp are deemed fairly low consumption anyway and in the budget category they probably want to keep manufacturing expenses as low as possible, and the...

Here in Australia, John Deere have recently released the 5020 series full frame designed tractors, which seems to be the smaller version of the 6020 series. I have the impression that the 5020 tractors in the US might be a different model, I am not sure. Anyway, reading the John Deere speel...
