My dad bought his dream tractor about 18 months ago. I brand new JD 4x4 FEL , e series, because he isn't a professional farmer and was told that was good for his use. It was returned 3-4 time due to different problems, emissions crap, fuel issues, etc... It has since been returned and he is now looking at a Mahindra. We have always been a Deere family, and I have a 5410, but the new ones ( are junk compared to it. Just my experience. If you have to have a deere, don't buy the E series I completely disagree. I have a 2012-13 (can't remember)JD 5045e with FEL and I've had zero problems with mine. I bought it with I think 190 hrs on it. It's got 350 now. BUT I don't have emissions stuff. I really like my tractor and would do it all over again.

My understanding is that 2013 was the year that required the final phase of the emissions control. I hurried to make the trade and get a 2012 model. They didn't even offer a down exhaust on a 2013 and I have to have that in the woods.
Mine still has a bunch of junk on it, but the E series is the least complicated line that JD offers.

The new electronics on tractors is no different than the electronics in a game camera. Keep both inside in a controlled environment they will last a lifetime. Get them out in the rain, dust, hot, cold, etc. the electronics will give problems.
I see. So I can do anything with my new tractor that I did with my old tractor except get it wet, use it outside in the dust, use it in the summer, or use it in the winter Uh, got it.
Used to be a lifeguard, until that blue kid got me fired.

I do agree the E version syxks but that's because of EPA regs. Buy a pre-2010 john Deere and you'll be happy for life. Don't buy any new tractors, they all have the HP killing and life shortening EPA garbage

That makes perfect sense, preacher. They're the only ones who can figure out how to run a computer on diesel fuel.

I've got a 2000 model JD but I love the 70s and 80s john Deere's. They are bulletproof.

I have a 5065e that's an 09, 10, or 11 (can't remember). I got it as an off lease several years ago with a few hundred hours on it. So far the only issue I have had is the cold start sensor went bad which was blowing the ignition fuse. It now has about 900ish hours on it. I also bought a 04 Kubota M6800 (the predecessor to the M7040 about 3 years ago, it had 396 hours on it and now has about 700. Both have been great tractors, the Kubota is a slightly higher HP tractor and is non turbo it runs quieter, smoother, and has noticeably more low end power. However, the JD will flat out work it when breaking ground. Both have water in the rear tires, the JD does have water in the front tires and a FEL, so the total JD weight is higher.
FEL's and 4WD are two options that do not seem to depreciate, but a 2WD tractor without a FEL can be had for pretty cheap (compared to new).

Get an old one and just tell yourself if it tears up... I'll just have to fix it. Can't beat a Ford/New Holland and some of the Masseys. They have good parts availability. Also the Deere 2030, 2440, 2640 series I like for reliability and excellent power for their size. I started rewiring a mid 1970's Ford this past weekend. Tore all the wires out of it and hooked the key switch back up and one wire to battery from alternator. Fires right up and I could go plow a field with it. Probably has three wires hooked up total. You can't do that with a new one.
No government employees were harmed in the making of this mess.
