JD 4320 w/400x or DX45 w/116 ???????????

Rob52 · Nov 27, 2004

I've been all around the block, made a full circle back to these two tractor manufacturers. Obviously the 4320 being a bit larger and more powerful, 4120 is closer in ponies, my thinking of having a bit more HP to move that larger frame around easier.
Needless to say, I have RED in my blood and that old wonderful term, FARMALL, imbedded in me from my grandfather's years on the old farm in LaSalle, MI. I just feel this unit(DX) is a better bang for the buck!
I'm comfortable with the dealers, just have to be comfortable with my decision!
Any insight is appreciated!
Thanks for your time gents!
POSTED on CASEIH also!

Both are great machines. One says FARMALL and is red. But the Deere has just as much to do with the old FARMALLs. Nothing. Those Fiat boys are smart to bring back that name.

Even if the IH company had survived, you would still be sure to look at todays products with todays merits.

Like: Deere has survived and isn't bleeding red ink.

Both are great machines

Thanks for the input! I would have to say most of the tractors I had looked at and drove seemed pretty nice. I like the idea of JD & Case IH being around for so long and so strong!
It might just come down to tossing a coin in the air and depending on the green side or the red side --------I'm sure I'll be happy!
Been waiting a long time for this, especially after the long and extensive search I had done to try and locate my grandfathers old Farmall Super A. Needless to say, it turned up deadends at every avenue!
Hey, I tried!

Depending on what our needs are I think that if you would actually use the deere you will find it to be far superior in every way than that of ol red. I use to bleed blue until I tried the green and could literally work circle around my dads tc45d, not just in one or two areas but everything. In my mind there is no better power/feeling tractor out there.
