Have you actually priced it ?
There's not that much difference between the 2 price wise
The autopower will wipe the floor with a DD on most jobs I'd be hard pushed to think of anything the dd would be better for

Was that a Dynamic Command simulator you were in at Basildon the other day?
We have just gone from JD to a Case Puma CVX and zero regrets so far. It’s the first of 5 intotal that will be changed on this farm over the next 5 years purely down to price as like for like the new cvx was 15% cheaper than the JD. On 5 tractors that’s going to be around £80,000 saving to this business without accounting for the extra interest on that £80,000 extra.
We think the build quality of both is very similar. The JD cab is a nicer place though but not by much. On the road not a lot in it in terms of braking and lugging capability. The Case is using less fuel though so far by about 5l/hr. It doesn’t seem to use much adblue though having now done 600 hours so far. We couldn’t be happier really so far even though we’ve been JD for 30 years mainly.
6830,
Thank you that’s really helpful
But how much less will the case be come trade in time?
The case are £16,000 less than JD new.
The JD therefore have to be worth £16,000 more at trade in value for break even.
They won't be that much greater. The case engines are also far more fuel efficient, so will have cost less to operate.
Deere are lovely tractors to drive, but you are paying for the privilege.

I'm with you on the lock!! but all the demos f different breeds I had if you're working them hard there's bigger all difference in fuel use but add blue is a big difference between them

About the same % as the purchase price I’d reckon.
So tie money up for no reason . I like JD tractors but would never buy one over priced and don’t make you make any more money

Add blue and fuel use on 6155
Has been good this autumn vast improvement on 6150.
And is better than puma 165 we had use of .especially the add blue usage.
JD should have gone with add blue sooner.
