Reviews
The transmission gasket broke at 348 hours. It was continually overheating. The dealership suggested filling the radiator reservoir to full, so the passerby / cooler would get coolant. The tractor was only used for packing. Had to use the 1993 JD6400 to finish the hay season. New technology does not always mean it is more reliable. Bad experience, with this model – expensive situation.
This tractor has been in trouble for about 30 hours and then it has been a nightmare the rest of the time. You have big fuel problems and other annoying little problems. Overall, I honestly wish I hadn’t seen this machine because it’s really a “lemon”
I have two John Deere 6430 IVT tractors this summer, both had factory mounted Alamo 20ft rear mount boom cutters. The IVT transmission is great, very smooth and easy to use and has worked great for mowing at low speeds. Tractors have great power and are very responsive. The air seat and hydraulic cab suspension offer the best ride I’ve ever had from any rig on or off the road. The flexibility of the hydraulic SCV / ICV is exceptional and adjustments through the command center are quick and easy. They are great tractors and I couldn’t be more satisfied.
I love using IVT on a Blueberrie combine also doing a bit of spraying took some time to get good at using all the features I’m still amazed at the awesome tractor transmission
I think the D tractors are like the 6 × 15 tractors from the 6 × 20 series. Lower specs, open center hydraulics, manual shifting and flange shafts as standard.
To run a feed grinder and pull silage carts, I’d say you’ve wasted your money on a premuim. A standard would do those jobs just as well.
