How reliable is the motor and transmission in these tractors?

not sure if you have a 5020 in mind or one that you can get for a reasonable price. also dont know what you are using it for or availability but my personal opinion is the 6030. yes shes a brute but she even heavier then a 5020 and if you get a turbo'ed and intercooled one she just has quite a few more ponies plus rear end is so bullet proof again if they have had maintenance and were taken care of. now with that said a 5020 is a great tractor and would probably work well and im not saying to pass up a good 5020 to get a beat up 6030 but if you could find two side by side equal price (or close) and fairly same hours care etc id opt for the 6030. personally i have a 2640 deere w/a 48 loader for light chores a 4440 w/loader for bigger chores (with one of those lovely quad ranges)(which i hate)(got for the price that cant pass up)(although reason why it was cheap) a 4840 w/power shift which i love that usually gets the planters, and dump cart,a 6030 for plowing discing etc and a 4020 for the hay etc. thats my set up and works pretty well. and to put it in terms that you can understand if a 6030 can stand up to my wife you know its darn tough.

I pass by a 5020 everyday on my way to work. She's sporting a new paint job and has to be the prettiest lawn orniment I've ever seen. Actualy, it is a working tractor and has it's place by the road. Can't think of a nicer looking tractor. No advice, just an observation.

The engine and transmission are reliable. Just depends on how you take care of them. I currently own a 5010 with almost 8,000 untouched hours on it and a 5020 with 5,2XX hrs. I farm in 5020 country and there are still some being used around here. I think the more important question is "what are you going to use our 5020 for if you buy one".

Toy Guy,

My hired man used to have one. Pretty stout old Mama's, that's for sure.

But, when they go down, they are sure expensive to repair. 'Course, what isn't these days?
