John - I have an "06 (I think) 5425. Its a platform tractor (without cab), with MFWD, left hand reverser (16 speeds F&R), a 541 SL (self leveling) loader, and quick attach bucket & forks. Good: Power & 4wd, lifting height, reverser is great, fuel economy, looks (important?), EPTO (lower engine speed & still 540RPM for light PTO loads)
Not so good: Light (even with two weights per side in the back). Platform tractor is a bit high around the woods (compared to my 2240), it gets air in the injectors if it sits for a few weeks (perhaps this will be solved at that next filter change). The fender mounted 3PH & hydraulic controls seem a bit flimsy
All around good machine. However, for many folks, I"d think that the cheaper India and China-sourced machines will be just as good (for them). I think that is really why JD has changed their models recently, in an effort to compete with the Mahindras of the world...
