Upgrade from Case JXU 95

Thinking of changing my case jxu 95 sometime this year. Would want cab suspension and possibly front axle suspension due to back problems. Wouldn’t mind a bit more power and size. Any suggestions

Not sure how much bigger you are looking to go, but have you considered a Kubota, the MGX 135 has front axle suspension. 5 year warranty too.

In my experience front suspension makes biggest difference to comfort, far more than cab suspension.

Massey 56/57 tractors can have front and cab suspension. Not a bad place to spend the day and they are great for loader work.
Local Deere sales rep was saying the new 5r’s are meant to be good loader tractors as well and can have front and cab suspension. He keeps saying that he’ll send a 5125r out for us to have a play with at somepoint.

A JXU is a tough act to follow,if you want to stay with Case I would go for a Maxxum,not much more money than a Luxxum,much better cab and simpler controls.Physically bigger and heavier tho.

Neighbour has bought a new JD 5100r and absolutely hates it,very disappointing after all the hype.Very poor ride on the road,not sure why but it is on Mitas tyres,still has the tiny cab from the pivot steer loader and has the fancy gearbox which is proving unsuitable for a loader tractor.Has the brake to clutch function which is fine,but cant use independent brakes,must be able to disable that.

don't

dont knock it until u try it.
Have tried k110, 135 mk3, 150.6 and M620. Only one I thought was ok a the 150 when it’s goin. All of them have gave serious mechanical problems. 620 is in dealers getting getting brakes unseized, transmission pressure sorted, a clutch problem and a front engine seal. 150 is just back from getting a new gearbox casing which was cracked, reckons it was because of play in the front axle which caused the 4wd shaft to knock back and crack casing. So front axle and gearbox got sorted, then she needed the PTO pack done up and front suspension sorted. It’s currently waiting on bearings for the fan. That’s the main issues, haven’t included the niggling electrical issues
