Autopower no problems,12 years of running them on various tractors with no bother,don’t let the horror stories from people that have never owned or driven one put you off
Local contractor has 2 6920s ap and both o them have given trouble in tranny. I have driven for him and yes they are nicer to dtive than autoquad but if i was buyin a jd it would def be way the powerquad tranny

Most of the 10 and some of the 20 series gave trouble the 30's onwards have been very little trouble we've 3 30 series with over 7000 hours and they're going nowhere as with everything if they're serviced regular and treated properly they're absolutely fine

When I think of export market tractors or machines I think of older, high houred, low tech tractors. I don’t think Fendts or JD autopwr or MF dyna vt are heading to Somalia. I think we’ll maintained low houred (whatever that is) tractors will be sold to in the domestic secondhand market as most tractors are and to first world countries, to farmers that need/want the technology. Can a farmer in Pakistan etc afford to pay 50k for a 5 year old tractor? Am I wrong or what?
 
Now it's a been a couple of years, what's peoples thought on the reliability of
Autopower , dd or autoquad as I'm thinking of getting a 6210r.
Get auto and vario on demo then decide . 4300 hrs on 65 plate.a p. ? It’s had a add blue pump in warranty period , apparently wrong filter in it . Serviced religiously at 500 engine and all wet filters and hubs changed .. 1000 every thing .
does drilling. Ploughing and biggest part of cultivation . One driver only . Ask me again at 10000 hrs
