***JD - very informative. I like the Excel spreadsheet comparison.
--Be careful when using Deere's "comparison" on their website... its good information if you have ties to Deere, if you want to look at things objectively I would do more extensive research. This is because Deere compares most of their models against models that are a smaller frame size, or to the competitor's economy model, so they aren't comparing apples to apples. For example, I wanted to compare a 3720 (44 hp) to a NH TC45DA (45hp) and found that I could only compare to an economy model TC40A, not the deluxe model with comparable horsepower. Secondly, for a lot of features where they are beat they don't list the competitive spec... I guess they couldn't find the information....
Yes, Deere's website is better than the competition (especially New Holland), but be careful... you can make numbers say whatever you want them to say.
