My take on this is simple... The modern utility tractor isnt really a tractor! Its really junk that is supposed to look like a tractor, & act like a tractor; but it wont stand up to the stresses of a tractor! Try taking it out, & put a 2-14, or a 2-16 plow behind it, & plow a hundred acres! I think You will find that a JD "50" 2 cylinder will hold up a lot better than almost any new tractor today! Todays machines are built to be cheap to produce, & with the price of steel going up its only going to get worse! Try putting a loader on an older Ford tractor & You'll be a lot safer, & smarter! Several years ago I saw a JD 6300, or 6400 (I think) sitting at a terrible angle leaning to the left side. Less than 2 years into the models production. The reason... The rear axle came off at the mounting bolts to the frame. I do not know if the bolts broke, or the axle ripped off; But one thing is certain. JD WAS AFTER QUANTITY; NOT QUALITY!!! If they were after quality it would have never the factory.
