JD 5400/Explorer 80 or MF 3065

Ok I have had a damn hard think and I'm throwing in the JD6200
I always liked the 6100 when I was a apprentice for JD in 1997-98 and the issues we had with them were slim to none.
What does everyone think?
There are a couple about in budget for sure.

If you worked on them at the dealer it’s a no brainer to go for one I shoukd think. Incidentally I served apprenticeship on Explorers and Grand prix, Silvers and Premiums so would not hesitate to get one of them as you soukd know exactly what to look for

OK Now I have a dilemma.

I've been told about a Fastrac 1115 in my budget range in bloody good nick, do i go for the extra power ?

Wasnt the story you are looking a tractor for working paddocks?

Yea I'm just a bit torn because they arent that much bigger than a 6200

Surely they are? And heavier? IMO they aren’t a paddock tractor

A few cm in hight, 30 cm bigger foot print and apparently a metre longer.
I agree it's not a paddock tractor, but would it make sense to have a bit more power for the non paddock jobs? Or will the 6200 cover it? I guess I could go bigger further down the line if the need came up.
