What is the difference in the 5085M JD and the 5085E JD? (any opinions)

[Tx Jim]

JD 210 is a secondary tillage machine. 210 is not a true offset although it does have JD's double offset design that I learned to hate because in hard soil the tandem will follow tractor resembling a snake wiggling from side to side. Don't attach your 5083E to a true 14' offset raise the wheels and anticipate pulling it very far. Your tractor pulling a true 14' offset ain't going to happen!

I been really happy with disk for what I'm using it for. I was really impressed with the tractor pulling it, it weights 2500lbs and digs really nice. I have a broken sod with it and does a good job. I'm sure in the right soil I couldn't pull this disk, little lone the one your talking about.
