Best replacement for JXU tractor

[Devil's advocate]

Really love my JXU's but at 8,000 hours not as reliable as they once were.

So what is the best replacement. I've a FarmallC but not quite as nice. but not a bad tractor.

I've some odd requirments
Telescopic lower links we have some older machines that don't like hooks.
Remote valves that are not so fussy.
Don't want to go heavier or more powerful
Minimum of unreliable gadgets

Does it have to be from the cnh stable? If so the only tractor id reccommend that they make is either the case luxxum if lookin new or slightly older/cheaper a farmall u pro. If it doesnt matter which brand either the massey global series or a kubota m5 i think its called would be my choices

am looking at a used jxu, how reliable has yours been, has the power shuttle needed any attention, theres one quite new on classifieds here but out of my price range

Ha e a very nice Kubota M5111...prob as near to similar as a JXU/T5000 you could get, 2 1/2 year old, 1,100 hours...loader, 5,000 hr warranty ....

Have a look at the McCormick X4.70 tractor, 107 Deutz - “NON” add blue engine, manual or power shuttle, 24x24 Trans like the JXU, the cab height of the X4.70 is the same as JXU as well. Push out hitch Can be fitted Manual hyd,s so less to go wrong. 5 years 0% finance can be taken on this model too.

If its non ad blue what other crap is on it to remove the emmissions then?

McCormick and less to go wrong? Should never be in the same paragraph!

We've had 4 of them, one had some gear box trouble but otherwise just the normal niggles. We normally put 7,000 hours on over 12 years or so, so reasonably busy with them

It’s quite a Job these days seems often the price top secret and then all the specs etc etc it’s not a easy job and folk compare apples with pears regarding specs , tyres , spools etc the list is endless, makes buying a hard job time get round to it sick to death and decide not to bother ha

If comparing brands for price u nearl need to write down all the specs and giv it to each salesman so its fair
