JD 4000 series vs 5000

[deere755]

I was thinking about a 4320 open station tractor but then I noticed a 5045E listed for around 15,000 and with front wheel assist it was I believe 21,000. Horse power on the 2 tractors are almost the same. I do mstly farm type work with them so the 5045 would be heavier and probably better suited for what I would be doing with it anyway. I don't quite have the wife convinced yet but I can see one in my future. I also found a 5055 with very low hours on it for around the same money.

Go for the 5000 series with FWA. You will not regret it.

A 5045E is MFWD and is also about 1400 lbs. heavier than a 4320 open station. More beef but less dough. Not as fancy though.
