Are you looking new, used?

You have a lot of selection in that range.Do you want another utility frame tractor or larger "row crop" frame? More information would help.

My neighbor has a 6605 which is a newer equal to the 3155 you have. It's 8 years old and has had 3700 hours on it, been a great tractor. I have put probably 1200 of the hours on it myself. It has the same engine as a 7000 series, but in the large utility frame. It's right around 100 Hp.

Thinking new got a 2003 challenger mt 535 I'm going to trade in. don't want anything larger than the tractors I have now.

If new then it would be a 6D series, the 6100D is around 100Hp or the 6115D is around 115 hp.

You can get lots of information at Deere.com including a retail price with options.

I have a 7130 Premium that has been a very good tractor.

What series are you thinking? Your between a 5000 and 6000 series - main difference is frame size along with a couple features here and there. Your jobs will determine the series - what do you plan on using it for?

We have a 7330 and 7420 both very nice tractors it just depends on what you want to use them for .... we do row crop every thing from working ground to planting and pulling loads use them 2 more than the other tractors we have.

The german 50 series that are your 55 series were some of the best efforts deere produced unlike some of the lower model 7000 series like 7200 7400 the larger tractors in that series like the 7810 and up like 8000 were again notoriously good . If you must stay with the green the european 6000 series are the best in your size.
I'm no deere lover but i think your 3155 is as good as the green ever got ..how bad can it be ..spend some money on it

any green owner i know says series improved through 30-40-50-55- then 00-10 .... 20 was bad 30 got worse now they all buying MF or NH ..LOL

My experience is that the hyd systems on the 50/55 series Mannheim built tractors are nowhere near as dependable as the Waterloo rowcrop tractors. Granted some later model RC tractors aren't built in Waterloo.

I believe the 5M series deserves a look. Available up to 105hp. (5105M) I had a NH 7610S before I bought the 5085M. The 5M is physically a little smaller, but will do the same work, and it's a lot more manuerverable.
