Did Deere recently add the power reverser to the E tractors?

My vote is orange paint.

Is the Deere 12/12 transmission 3 gears in 4 ranges?

It really depends on your uses mainly. Bang for your buck kinda implies "getting jobs A B and C done" when it comes to a tractor. Each of those tractors are similar but the variances in specs would make each one better than the other dependent upon the tasks.

They both manufacture a good tractor. John Deere's are just a bit better. That is my totally unbiased opinion.

Hands down John Deere, simply because of the power reverser tranny if that is really what it is.

I would never choose a shuttle shift over hydraulic shuttle.

Forget the Kubota!

Tractor data lists it as a power shuttle with wet clutch. That is a good transmission. My vote is Kubota

Get the one with the cab, it will keep all those electronics dry.

I would rather have the 12x12 tranny. the JD does have draft sensing.
