I got a JD 50 and sure like it, but I have always wondered how much better a JD 530 would be. I like the 2 poppers. Anybody have any pros or cons on the 530 compared to a 50. Are they much better or about the same. My 50 has live PTO, 6 speed, rollamatic narrow front.

Thanks

The 50 was an upgraded B with more compression, better breathing & duplex carburation plus the power options.
The 520/530 had improved spark plug placement, beefier rear ends, more engine rpm, larger brakes, more hp on less fuel etc.
Green Magazine has a series of 1st numbered series,20 & 30 series books that explain the details in depth.

I have a 50 and couple of 520's...the 520/530 have 20% more power than the 50 and has a much better lift system....the 530 has exposed steering shaft and the 530 went to the console arrangement, the basic tractor, frame internal components are the same, sheetmetal and some external items are different. Personally the 520/530 is a much nicer tractor than the 50, however I do like the 50...JD just keep upgrading the basic B model on up to the 530. The 530 is the highest dollar item as only a couple of years production was delievered.

I have a B and a 530. The B would be similar to the 50. The 530 is a more elligent tractor. It has more power, 3 point, power steering, and I believe it to be more stable than the B. Both are neet tractors though.

If I was you Dave, I'd get one of each! Don't forget the 520 either. Would be a great start to a neat collection. I haven't managed to aquire any of them yet. Do have the 60, 620, and 630 though. Maybe some day! Good luck to you! Don
