Read articles →This is part 2 of a multi-part owner review, focused on talk rather than fieldwork: specs (125hp engine, 100hp PTO, 24x24 Power Quad Plus transmission, fuel use around 1.7-2.3 gal/hr), and a detailed M-vs-R and D-series comparison explaining why he chose the M over pricier siblings. No hands-on operation or cab footage here (promised for the next video). Best for buyers weighing trim levels and fuel costs, already familiar with part 1.
Posted by the cowcamp87 channel, an owner who has run this tractor about five months and speaks from personal livestock-feeding use rather than dealer or sponsored perspective.
Engines and standard transmissions are basically the same. The R model adds a Power Intelligent system giving more horsepower when needed, a bigger computer screen, and larger hydraulic pumps, for an extra 10,000 to 20,000 dollars.
The computer shows fuel use between 1.7 and 2 gallons per hour, up to about 2.3 gallons per hour while operating, roughly half what a similarly sized International 966 or 4430 burns.
M is the standard model and R is the premium model, similar to the old 6030 versus premium 6030. The D series is a lighter weight line John Deere built to compete with Kubota.
