[QUOTE="adam_farming, post: 7338937, member: 1983"] When in the US I noticed more lower-range models around than over here, for example JD 8R series, over here would be mostly 8360R/8370R whereas I think I saw most of the range at one point or another over there, for example we had an 8295R and 8320R on grain chasers. Is it right to think that having a lower range model would be more reliable on some parts than the top of the range? Sticking with a JD example, they have a 6250R, 7250R and 8245R all putting out (near enough) the same power but through different frames. The 6250R is top of the range so in theory everything is at or near it's limits, whereas the 8245R is only putting 250hp through the same frame as an 8400R, so assuming that at least some common parts, they only have two thirds of the power and strain so should last longer? Same I guess with Fendt, having 724, 824 and 924, all 240hp but through different frame sizes. I know there's a lot more to it than this like weight, transmissions available etc but its something I've often thought about. It would be interesting to compare prices too, so what is the cheapest way to buy a 250hp John Deere, 6, 7 or 8R? [/QUOTE]
