You're going to enjoy either tractor. Coming from the White they both will be much nicer, not to knock the White. MegaFlow hydraulics were a nice PFC 'closed' system that will run hydraulic motors very well, and the Funk powershift was very reliable. Like others said both tractors are excellent, NH's sold cheaper new and resale is what it is on the two. FOr the money the NH is a great value and the JD is a JD, excellent powerplants, transmissions very similar to each other, hydraulics very reliable. I'd say the cab is a bit nicer on an 8000 series Deere, lights are very good on both. Deere had better road speed however. Super Steer is a lot of maintenance but if taken care of it's excellent. Love both tractors, think they're both excellent choices.
