The power shifts are nice until they go bad and then you need a second mortgage to fix it. Just my opinion after seeing what my brothers cost him when the "big nut" holding it all together went bad. Cost almost as much as the tractor did. |
Over the years I’ve had 2 PS and 2 PD. We’ve been inside both PD and one needs a second repair. The 8050 PS I bought with issues. I argue the PD are a more trouble free option. Organ donor Powershift was only $2200

I’d get the 8030. Whatever is does will be a walk in the park with it vs the smaller 301 in the 8010. The bigger tractors don’t burn much more fuel unless they’re worked hard.

I love my 8030 but it does burn twice the fuel running the same equipment as my 185

I’d go green or blue if I had to farm much with a 100 series
