For work requiring a lot of hydraulic flow/power, the green always beats the red. I do feel like little long-term things are usually better on green as well, such as cab doors that continue to close tight after a decade of use, or a seat that doesn't wear out easily, or even power-shifts that don't develop an annoying buzz sound.
But red tractors get an awful lot of work done around here. They're all I've been running this summer.
I do think that if green and red were the exact same price at the same specs, nearly everyone would pick green most of the time.
No doubt.
When I bought my Case, the apples to apples JD was $10k more, without the loader...
If I were running a legacy operation that was going to get passed to my son and grand kids, I would have gone JD probably. But, for what my purposes are, I just couldn't justify it.
