Can someone school me on a JX80 open chases mwfd tractor

[sawtooth]

My neighbor has one of these and has offered to sell it to me. Are they a good model? Plus's and minus of them? It has the factory loader and has low hours. Really like the looks of it just don't have any experience with Case. Also, did New Holland make a equivalent tractor in blue? I know now many models are just duplicates to one another in red and blue. Thank you

I never ran an JX80, I have put a lot of hours on a 65 and a 95.

Both have been a pretty decent tractors, not a lot of frills, but a decent work horse.

Biggest thing I don't like about the 65 is, although it makes decent power, it doesn't have near the "low end" torque my AGCO's do.

Biggest thing I don't like about the loaders on them is, the spring in the control is very strong and makes my wrist hurt on extended loading sessions.

ALSO, they don't have a "float" position.

NH TD series should be the blue version.

Been some time since your question. I have one and it is a good no frills tractor. Mine is well cared for, always shedded, near 11 years old now, mows a lot, rides really well. See my review on TBN.
