What's the price difference between the 4 cylinder you want and the 6 cylinder? I've never actually used either in the field, but on the dyno, the 4 cylinder performs great. 135 Maxxum made 130 PTO HP unboosted, and 150 boosted on the PTO. I've also dyno'd a few Puma 150's with the 6.7, and they performed worse than the Maxxum 135 unboosted.
I do have a thing for Kubota tractors, but for the time being, I'd stay away from them until they really get their emissions systems figured out. I think right now, CNH and AGCO have the best systems.
CNH was still learning when they released the Tier 4A systems. The 4B systems have basically been a flawless system. If you've been happy with the DEF system on your T6.165, you'd be happy with the 4B system. As far as your T6.165 DEF system causing trouble down the road, I wouldn't worry about that too much. If it's still in warranty, get an end of warranty inspection done and check the front end closely. It's likely around the weakest point on the tractor. If you're going to have trouble stomaching the payments on a new 6 cylinder tractor, just keep the 165 if you're happy with it.

Today's Featured Article - Hydraulics - Cylinder Anatomy - by Curtis von Fange. Let’s make one more addition to our series on hydraulics. I’ve noticed a few questions in the comment section that could pertain to hydraulic cylinders so I thought we could take a short look at this real workhorse of the circuit. Cylinders are the reason for the hydraulic circuit. They take the fluid power delivered from the pump and magically change it into mechanical power. There are many types of cylinders that one might run across on a farm scenario. Each one could take a chapter in
