Central ND | I can only imagine some of the responses that you are going to get to this post!lol There is alot of people out there that think 8850 is a swear word! Its your money and I don't want to tell you what to do, all I can do is tell you our experiences. We have had 8850's for several years and will always have a soft spot for these tractors and they are cheap horsepower. From what you are describing the 8850 would do everything you need it to do, until 2 years ago they were our main tractors since 1996, we have pulled 62' chisel plow with a coil packer, 57' flexi-coil hoe drills into no-till stubble with 345 bushel carts and right now we have one on a 61' 1820 JD with a 430 bushel cart and they have plenty of power to do everything we have ever tried to do with them. We also used one on a 1050 Kinze cart for several years and really like it there, we had a Kinze repowered 8850 and we liked the v-8 better althought the cummins did work better on the cart because of the low rpm torque. I don't think the 8850 is anything to be scared of, they are just like alot of other equipment, if they are well maintained and taken care of they will be good to you, I hope this helps. | |
