This X 100.

A 5000 series Deere (or similar weight in other tractor brands) is heavy enough to work and use the loader without 4wd. That size tractor is a completely different animal than a compact utility tractor, where 4wd is essential to get acceptable performance with a loader.


Are the 5055e as good as the older 5205?


Google JD5055e problems or something like JD Indian built tractor problems. Look at how many are for sale versus the old 5,000 series . Word is JD is missing the mark on their utility tractors made in India, quality is just not there .


I'm looking for a good used tractor with a power reverser type trans on it. Which one(model) would you recommend?
