I would go with a JD 4960. They where a strong tractor and the 15 speed power shift worked smooth. Also the average mechanic can do most of the work on one of these. The JD 8300 that these guys talk about has a very jerky shifting power shift when cold. JD did a lot of work on that problem which they solved on the TEN series. Had a customer break the back window out with his head while moving his JD8400 in his machinery shed when it was zero out. They would hesitate for just a second and then BOOM they went. You also have a whole lot of electricial systems that do about everything. I once spent two days with a JD factory service tech working on a new JD8300. It would not go into any gear other than the "come home" one. We replaced every controller on the tractor. Finally we had to go through the wiring harness one wire at a time. Found a bad crimped wire terminal. Think how you would like to pay twenty hours of labor for a fifty cent terminal? How about a ten years old car with electric windows?. I am a loyal JD equipment person but I personally run 55 series and older tractors. The electronics and plastic in the newer ones will not stand the test of time very well.
