Sold Deere Purchase 2015 NX6010

[kromc5]

Thank you sd455dan DeanFM for the helpful response. I was looking at the end links and they look easy to remove. The issue I have is my quick hitch cannot slide over the cat 2 end links. I had been using pats links for a longtime and I have them for sale. I had a lot of implements that had different widths. They did make it easy but with my back problems even with pat's I have trouble hooking up at times. I sold most of my implements so I can get a new finish mower and tiller that can work with quick hitch and auto hitch.

I pushed it pretty hard yesterday digging into hard packed clay. Had to remove a few trees to try and get to the problem I made 5 years ago when I dug the pond. It did very well and has tons of power and even with loaded tires on a very slight downhill it will lift the rear end.

Took a quick video and will upload today as well. Few more things I like is how fast it is, cleaned up few burn piles and moved it to the back property its faster to get on the road.

Few more pros vs con.

Doors and windows are easy to close on the 6010.

Really like the side windows on the 6010

Like the rear outside pto lift lever, but hoping I will not need it with quick and auto hitch.

Push button 4wd is very nice compared to the level on the 4320.



Few differences between 4320 / 6010

Going to weld more into the front hood guard, very cautions yesterday.

Rear fenders looks like the are two piece which is good, compared to 4320 they are to far back and to big.
Very cautious in tight areas as I was not sure if I got to close to trees on who might hit first the tire or fender.


So far I'm very happy with the tractor everything works well they hydro shift is much easier. Stalled it a few times but did not take long to get familiar with operation. So far nothing on the garage floor which is great.

Just completed most of my 50 hour service today took around 6 hours to complete, I'm slow and let everything drain till it stops. I did not remove the loader and it did not create to much of a problem. Had to use the impact on one of the oil drain bolts, and my large pipe wrench on the oil and hst filter. The hst filter is is a tough location to really get my hands on to tighten. The outside fuel tank bolt is quite low compared to the frame so I took my hack saw and shortened it. Wished the oil bolts had more surface area for the nut but I can see why they made them that way due to clearance. Interesting the magnet just sits in the bolt, little bit of metal on it. Never noticed a change in the 4320 after maintenance but the hst felt more responsive after the change.

Did not finish the fuel filter change but there is a large filter on the left that did not come in the maintenance kit. It looks similar to my 4320 but was not sure when this is changed or the part number?

Anyone have ideas on the large filter on the left side?

Thank you

I would NEVER change the CAT2 links to CAT1,,,,
If you are always going to use CAT1, simply tack weld the bushings in place,,,
that way,,,if you get a CAT2 attachment in the future,,, 15 minutes with a grinder, and you will be good to go.

My 584 IH is CAT2,,, I thought I would never use CAT2,,, until I got the JD 390 mower!! :cool2:

I don't think I have much choice, I sold roughly about $7000 in non I match implements to help with the new purchase, plus they were just to hard at times for me even with my pats. I just looked up the specs on the cat 2 i match but it is much wider and don't it will fit my cat 1 attachments I plan to purchase.

General Information:

My cat 1 match will not slide over the cat 2 and I have not found a way to make that work. Really like to get my quick hitch on as I only plan to buy implements that will work with it.

Have you contacted your dealer to see if the link ends from aNX with cat 1 will fit your arms? If they will your looking at roughly 160 dollars for the pair. You could also modify your imatch quick hitch to fit your arms. I didn't take any pics of mine when I modified it but I can get some of the finished mod if you like.

A curiosity question for NX owners (not that I could afford one any time soon): I see there are two hydraulic cylinders to raise and lower the 3-point. Does this provide a built-in tilt capability?

Few Pictures

Got to try it out today and after creeping out of the garage I found it has cat 2 links.
I doubt I will ever run any heavy ground engagement implements. I going to call kioti,

I'm not sure if I can just slide out the bottom links and replace for cat 1? If anyone know if this is possible would appreciate advice on this issues so I can get my quick hitch on.

Heat index today was 116 and temp stayed at the halfway mark. The ac is better than the 4320 which was already very good.

Pros
1. Bigger Cab
2. Easier to get out of
3. Like the brake system, the 4320 you had to press the brake the pull a knob,
on the 6010 I push the brake and use my right foot to push the level down I cannot
lean forward at all.
4. Love my extra mirrors on the sides very helpful on the road.
5. I like that the seat is adjustable helps with my back.
6. 4320 you had to reach forward to adjust the speed and it was very stiff, the 6010 is perfect spot on right and very easy to move from any position.
7. Like the gas tank location easy to fill.
8. Very nice have a radio, speakers are acceptable but going from nothing is like having 11.2 atmos.
9. It flat out flies in in medium and high gear, 4320 topped out at 16.1 on hill and it feels a good 3 or 4 mph faster.
10. Loader is very strong picked up to large rocks that were heavy enough to lighten the rear end even with filled tires.
11. At idle the 6010 is a lot quieter.
12. Even though the engine looks so small including the turbo compared to the 4320 it has more power. Tested on the driveway in high gear with loader and weighted tires which my 4320 did not it accelerates up my driveway much faster.

Cons.
1. Seat had more cushion and give in the 4320, the 6010 seat is very firm.
2. 4320 suspension seat is much better. But I'm need more time to play with the 6010 adjustments.
3. Cabin noise is louder during driving than the 4320.
4. I got down and looked under to see fuel line, it is very exposed and I go through a lot of brush from time to time. So I will have to figure out something for that.


If anyone had an idea on the cat 2 links I would appreciate the feedback. The first owner has the top and tilt sticker inside and I would also like to ad the rear hydraulic top link if anyone know of kit for this I did not see it on kioti.

Seats can get changed out.

The Sears (older Case/JD) seat profile seems to fit my ailing back best. You can follow my line of thinking about air seats if you wish.

Hello ritcheyvs,

It does not but I like the idea of the external, my 4320 was internal but I never had a problem with. But could only imagine the cost if the 3 point needed work.

Hello countrybumpkin,

That would be great as with my current problems it used to take me 20 minutes or more to hookup my maschio 210.
But I may try calling a local dealer as the 160 would not be to bad unless it requires the whole arm to be replaced.

Seats can get changed out.

Thank you for the feedback I will check those out as I have got the seat adjusted so it much better but the 4320 had so much movement in it that really helped.
