Subject: New Holland 8870-8970 compared to JD 8300-8400



Southern Middle Tennessee
Thinking of updating tractors. Currently we run a White 170 two wheel drive tractor that has served us well. Kind of been wanting a fwd to help reduce us getting stuck during planting and harvesting. We are strictly no-till and plant with a White 16 row planter. May possibly buy some sort of turbo-till at some point. Probably don't need a tractor of this size currently but plan on keeping what ever we buy for a long time so things could possibly change in the near future. I've considered a John Deere 8300-8400 but the prices just seem ridiculous for one that has 8,000 hours on it. Looks like I can get a low houred NH for a decent price. How would the NH compare to the JD? Hydraulics good on them? HOw are the cabs? Any other information is greatly appreciated. There's only a few of them in this area but hear they were really a tough tractor. Thanks!
