Opinions on John Deere 6195M series.

Looking to swap our JD 6920s in. Not looking for much more hp or spec than what we have. Just something simple reliable and user friendly. Really have no intention of considering an R series so realistically we would look for a low houred 30 series or an M series.
Operator opinions would be gratefully appreciated Thanks
I’d go for the 30 series every day of the week. IMO the 20 series was 80% perfect, the 30 series was 90% there and ever since it’s been dropping as more savings have been made. Finding a low houred one will be your issue. What hours on the 6920? Keep that? Unless it’s an AP.

I think I’d disagree. Ever since they’ve been adblue they’re some great tractors. Reliability is far, far better than the 30 series ever was

The bigger 30 series (7930 etc) had issues but I’ve not heard of anything bothering the 64-7530’s as long as you buy with your eyes wide open and treat them with respect. I’m certainly keeping mine for as long as possible.

Under a rock probably 😂 We’ve had experience with 6420 6430 6930 and 7530 and never had any of that. The 69 had an injector recall that was foc, 6420 zero issues, 6430 had brakes and a clutch pedal spring and 75 had a gearstick button module. You watch one will sh*t a brick now. I don’t touch autopowr, 50k or elec spools.
