NEIA | I prefer a 30 series myself but both are good rigs. I always felt the 8.1 had more lugging power and the 9 L had more top end power. Both will pull good if you know when to shift. 5000-6000 hours seems to be the engine life on the 20s. The hood is replaceable with a newer style on the early 30s which is less prone to cracking. I'm not sure if Deere did much with the 20 series replacement hoods to reduce cracking. They are like concrete- cracked or going to crack. Common rail fuel injection on the 30s vs Bosch pump. Toss up?? More electronics on the 30s but honestly have never had problem. | |
