Both my tractors have the shuttle transmission.
Love it! To me, shuttle shift is the happy medium between manual and hydro. I want to use all the hp I bought and you lose some in hydro. No doubt. Just for Grits and Shins, I went to the JD dealership to look to see what smaller type tractors they had with somewhat higher HP engines... They showed me a 65hp compact with the hydro. I thought it was a good size for the HP rating. Then I looked closer at the tractor... 1) It only had the hydro pedals. If you had to shred like 10 acres or do something that required prolonged forward movement, then you would get real tired of mashing that pedal, or you'd spring for the optional cruise control. 2) The tractor had no hydraulic hook ups. My intent in looking at tractors was to try and get a feel for what may run a Woods 12 foot batwing shredder. The shredder needs two hydraulic controls. One for the batwings, and one for the wheel height. I realized that I was just looking at a high hp, overpriced lawn mower. It wasn't really a "tractor" at all....

That's the problem with a lot of the "economy" models out there today. My list of "must have's" on a tractor include hydraulic remote hookups, and I won't own one without them. The hydrostat tranny is ok on a smaller tractor that's used for light work, but I don't have it on either of mine. I like the shuttle shift, but the hydrostats typically don't hold up well under heavy use, such as hours of fieldwork at a time.

Economy and John Deere do not belong in the same sentence. Here in Iowa JD is King, but my family always had Farmalls and AC's. Think I am the 1st generation to own JD

JD is the one to buy new, if you will keep updating equipment. High resale prices get more of you money back. However that means if you buy used, you will pay too much.

I have bought Ford and New Holland and got my money back both times I traded. A good name brand (Kubota, Deere, New Holland ) tractor holds its value pretty well.
I would include Case as well as they are essentially the same as New Holland.

. . . but am considering the switch to Rim Guard, a product that doesn't rust the rims. god bless you! ! ! i can't tell you of the old tractor and implement wheels i've had to sand and weld and sand and fill and sand and prime because some previous owner got cheap and filled the tires with plain ol' water instead of doing it right. i have a used mower right now that i can't use because of the oddball wheel pattern and the extremely rusted wheels from having been filled with plain water by a previous owner. my fronts on my tractor are in nearly as bad condition from the same thing.

After over a year of looking/waiting our local dealer found us another loader tractor.
2002 JD 7510, 741 loader(should be sweet...), 3-point, and with only 1720 hours. One owner and the tractor appears to be in great shape.
Trading in our old 4250 that has over 10k hours on it.
I'm pretty happy with the deal. It's hard to find an 'older' tractor like this with such low hours.

Rockin', I do believe that what's they are rated. Should be about the same as the ol' 4250.
And it has a left hand reverser which I guess is uber handy.

Love 'em! When I'm doing lots of work with them, back and forth, I need to be mindful of when I switch vehicles... I broke the turn signal off of my UTV trying to go into reverse with it! Kinda like trying to push the clutch in on another vehicle with an automatic transmission after driving a standard for awhile.

Ah, the same model a friend got a couple of years ago after seeing the review at HERE at tractor.com Haven't chatted with him for a while, but he went from a bigger (very old) tractor to this one, and I recall him commenting on how much diesel fuel he saved with this new smaller tractor that could still do all the jobs he needed.

The 7510 showed up on Monday and other than a leaky air ride seat it appears to be a nice tractor. Hasn't been very cold lately but I have a feeling it will be a much better COLD weather tractor than the 4250 or 4450.

Ben, a IH 1086 is a nice tractor.
The dilemma is, keeping a tractor that old running can be a crap shoot, (I know!)
