Well...That"s what I was hoping for...some really good knowledgeable people.
I have an old JD 510 backhoe that I"ve had for over 23 years and it"s been a very good tough machine. It has the Powershift 8 speed with wet clutch and it will push like a dozer, never had a bit of problem with it"s drive train. Not as user friendly as a torque converter but no power is lost to it and it will push a lot of dirt at an idle.
The hyd shuttle and wet PTO on an IH tractor have held up great while the dry traction clutch has had to be replaced twice. It isn"t used hard as it has a light duty loader and is mostly used for feeding and mowing. I never ride or intentionally slip a clutch, it"s either in or out. Granted, I feel that this IH"s clutch and pressure plate wasn"t properly sized for the machine.
Apart from the unusual, I think a well designed wet clutch should last the life of the machine.
I"ve discounted JD Ag for lack of support, however, the const JD is great. And not sure that a JD in that hp range is up to a NH. Just my opinion.
From the posts I will look further into Kubota. I will email you jerry, very much do appreciate your offer.
Thanks a lot for the replies, have been very helpful.
