John Deere 8560


       Over the years, I have been around a lot of different brands of tractors and styles of tractors. I think that I have been around 100's of different tractors. They have been ok, but I never really found a really good tractor. Then our farm got an 8560 John Deere.
       The 8560 is a great tractor. It has more power than anything I have ever driven. The frame is nice and long which gives it roll over protection. There are tons of windows up and down the cab that give the operator good visibility. The tractor is equiped with a deluxe air seat and a GPS system that tells the tractor where to go so farming can become more precise. The John Deere 8560 has the perfect amount of horsepower.
       However the John Deere 8560 could use some improvements. The power steering is very weak unless you grease the hinges every 30 minutes. Also there is no 3 point hitch on the tractor so you can't attach a ripper to it. It also doesn't have a power take off so you can't hook on a grain cart or a air seeder.
