John deere tractor
By Marla miller(Enthusiast), May. 16, 2015
You guys didnt have my model in the sroll down list but I run the JD 6105R 4WD tractor for work with the tiger rear and side flail mowers attached to it. Iv been doing this about 13 yrs. It now has 106 hrs on it and so far so good as far as it having issues. This tractor runs about 8 hrs straight ev
...
ery day 4 days a week.( My last tractor was a 2005 that i put right at 6000 hrs on and still going strong. ) the 2014 has lots of power, heater works awsome, dont know about air cond yet but will find out come summer but im sure will be just as awsome LOVE the option to raise the rear PTO really high up from inside the cab to be able to crawl under it to work on it. No more looking for a ditch to hang it over. LOVE being able to tilt the rear flail from inside the cab too so as to adjust blade height to cut the grass and not fling rocks at cars. It is a bigger tractor than my last one. A little too big but thats what was ordered so thats that for ten yrs. it does seem a little tippy on steep slopes but im not so sure the fleet mechs remembered to put calcium in the left rear tire. The issues i do have are that the sides are now one solid door and one solid sheet of glass so i dont have a smaller window on each side that i can keep cracked open to hear if iv sucked up wire or hitting bigger rocks which is a concern during fire danger times and the exhaust has been moved out more and therefor the side flail mounting system had to be totally reconfigured so now i have terrible visibility in the right front tire area to be able to see if its sinking in mud or about to hit a mailbox or sign post. The 2005 had awsome visibility. And i really miss the little knob to raise and lower the three point hitch n tiny increments. The lever works ok but it has a two or three second lag between when its told to lift and when it does lift. Sometimes you need it to respond RIGHT NOW or something bad is about to happen. And the lever doesnt give me tiny increments either. Im not using this tractor for farming tho so i dont know how important that stuff is to farmers. I just mow roads. So the tractors a nice tractor has good power drives nice and roads pretty fast and is comfortable.
