Case jxu95 replacement

[johnboy87]

Friend of mine has got a jxu95 which has had what is believed to be a catastrophic rear diff failure and they are considering a replacement. They want to stick with their local NH dealer but height is the issue, anything taller than the current tractor will not fit in some sheds and from brief looking the current T5 looks to be too tall for the job.
What would you all recommend?
Current hight I believe is about 2.5-2.6 m but can't remember without putting a tape measure to it. The predecessor MC Cormick mc115 had to have the lo profile roof and 34 rear tyres to fit as well

I would recommend repairing the tractor.

 

[johnboy87]

It will be repaired anyway, but with it being the main yard tractor spending 80-90% of its time on loader work along with some wrapping, raking and tedding it needs to be reliable and this one is no longer in its prime

 

[Wellytrack]

How many hours has it done and what is it’s annual workload?

 

[Thomas5060]

T5 utility shouldn’t be too far off the height of the JXU. If going new could always spec it with 30 inch rear wheels

If its done a lot of hours ,best answer is to repair it and trade it for the lowest houred JXU/NH T5000 you can find.IMO they are better tractors than any Farmall or T5,other than perhaps a Farmall U Pro.

It is a T5k/Jxu

 

[johnboy87]

AFAIK it's north of 7000 hours
Workload is loading feeder wagon, bedding up, emptying dung, loading dung spreaders, loading slurry, carrying straw, with a bit of wrapping, tedding and raking then an occasional run on a silage trailer

That was my best suggestion so far already

Is a utility model going to stick the constant and rigorous work though?

The what you would call normal T5 is ElectroCommand, the utility is just the dual power model. Similar to the T5000/T4

I know he wants nh but what about a massey global. They seem pretty low compared to most of the competition which nh/case had a perfect tractor with tla/jxu but the new ones arent near as nice or compact and they have managed to go from nice roomy cab to one of the worst on market

There’s a jxu.on eBay with an Mx loader ,very genuine it’s just down the road from me

Surly the t5 will be far lower than most tractors. Iv a landini powerfarm 95 it is very low.

If only the dealer was worth dealing with for them, they have never had any bad history with them but their money doesn't seem to be good enough for that dealer

Cnh T5050 no electronics apart from engine a friend had it from new and has had very little go wrong with it so much so he purchased a used T5060 as well, i know as i repair them, they replaced a 7840, he was recommended them by someone who works at factory in Basildon as they are a very basic tractor.

Ah right, I gathered from the utility name it was more like the old TN or TND

 

[forblue]

Much better than the tn and d

 

[Fragonard]

Is the case A series like the jxu/T5000?
