6910 and TM135
6910 v TM135.
Think it was a driving impression rather than an out and out pulling power competition. The TM would have had a distinct disadvantage there as it's 125 compared to the deeres 140.

Think they compared drivability, reliability and ownership
Oh so it was just driver preferences?[emoji23]

Always thought JD chose the "10" designation as a way of taking the michael out of the ford men
after all, the 6010s were extremely well regarded when they came out, and still are now, a logical step up from the previous 6000 range
Many people who went over to the 6000 series were ex ford men disolusioned with the product offering, given the well knows issues they had during the 80s and early 90s
can just imagine the conversations down the local, or at demos of the time..
them 10 series are bloody good tractors...
yeh, have to say they are, shame it took JD to make them and not ford

No comparison
by the time the ford man has re-calibrated his gearbox the deere will have done half a days work already

No, the place i was employed at bought me a brand new one.
went there aged 16, had 6 months on a 3050, traded up to a 6600, next autumn he bought me a brand new 6620 just in time for winter ploughing
thought it was a bit thirsty, dealer came and dynoed it, only to find it had mistakenly been uploaded with 6820 software and was putting out 150hp at the pto
it was an animal of a thing, on 18.4/38s it gripped like a swiss mountain railway engine
So to recap So far we have.....
Maxxum- not found
1056 - not for sale
7840- Gazumped
1594- not recommended
Suppose that still leaves a lot of choice.
