Tractor
2-9630T's, 8520T, 8120T
Just bought a 2002 8120 at auction, any opinions on this tractor would be appreciated. Had to sell my 4955 to get it, wanted a little newer tractor as the 4955 had about 6000 hours on it. Later:D

WOW!! Now that's a tractor. Is it tracked or tire machine?

My opinion...w/o seeing it, its a BIG tractor!!

Good Luck!!

What do you do with your 9620T?

I have not followed the 8000 series deere tractors very much but I don't recall hearing too much bad about them other then they were made by JD;)

Your biggest issues might be the electronics as it seems most new tractors have problems with electronics somewhere on them.

If it was a track tractor it would have a T in the model number.

I use my 9620 T for a small logging business I have, have also purchased a old scraper I plan on pulling with the 9620 T, used to operate heavy equipment for a living so like track machines. I will use the 8120 a little in the wood business, but mainly use to farm. Just bought another 50 acres so I got 125 now. Later folks.:D

You must have to make some wide trails to run a 9620T thru the woods. Can you tell me more about how you use that tractor for logging? Do you use a winch on the back or do you have a forwarder you pull around?

Sorry about not answering your question the other nite, had family emergency. I have been using a forwarder, me and buddy built one that I use.:D

No problem, the question wasn't vital and family always comes first.

If you get the chance could you post a picture of your tractor and forwarder? I enjoy seeing this type of equipment doing things other then pulling a chisel or disc.

Robert, hate to admit it but do not know how to post pictures, hard to teach an old dog new tricks.:D

You can e-mail them to me if you want and if you want them posted I will post them for you. But it isn't vital so if you do not want the hassel that is ok. Have fun.
