southwest wisconsin | Sure you want a bare-back model? If just doing drawbar work it will do. They do lack some hp. but have a comfortable ride and lots of traction. Im a retired deere mech. and there was some improvements over the 30-40 series. The 86## series took a bad rap for the 619 engine. If deere would have built a frame instead of relying on the engine block for support, the engine problem might have been decreased. Over the years, it seem like the 84## held up better then the 86##, maybe because most farmers were trying to run 300 hp through a 86##, were the 84## you could only get about 225 hp on the pto. We never sold a 8850, so i cant comment on that model. I have run both models, and the only thing about a 84## is lacking hp, but will pull more then a 4840-4850, maybe not as fast though. I thought a nice weighted 4850 mfwd would out do a 8450, but the price difference makes the 8450 more of a bargain. Hope this helps. | |
