Not meaning any disrespect but you must have never drove an IH or CaseIH tractor. My grandpa farms with JD and my dad's and uncles IH tractors will run circles around my grandpa's tractors and the IH's are 15 years older! Also my dad's 1460 will run circles around my grandpa's 6620 JD combine which is ten years newer than the 1460 as well as my dad's 1680 will run circles around my grandpa's 9510 combine which is also 10 years newer than the 1680. Finally my friend who is a JD guy his dad just bought a 305 Magnum and he likes it better than his 7820 JD. I will never buy JD. IH always.
