I'm sorry but I'm a John Deere, Volvo, CAT guy and our Deere has never done us wrong and you know us we beat the crap out of stuff and that Deere yea it has scraps and dents on it but the thing runs like a champ and there is no job too big or too small. I love that thing it has a ton of power and is comfortable inside the cab.... just my thoughts.

John Deere is ok but they burn more fuel and right now less diesel burned the better.Ford gives us the Power of a Deere and better fuel efficency that is why I am a Ford/NH man.The others are ok but take more fuel to do the same jobs so really it is a no brainer when you think about it.But that is just my opinion based on the NEBRASKA Tractor TEST SITE BOOK.

The Deere actually uses less fuel than the Volvo (which is a Ford btw) so I'll take the Deere.
