Great video. I have seen the issue of having to rev the Deere up before driving before, if memory serves me right it was due to a broken signal wire on the alternator.
Thanks for the info. We just recently solved the issue. Earlier We installed a new alternator from the John Deere place in an attempt to fix problem. It did not. We took that alternator to a alternator/starter repair shop and they immediately recognized that it had the wrong voltage regulator on it from the factory. They changed the regulator and solved the problem.
We have a versatile 360 and two new holland T8s the versatile has had a ton of nickel and dime issues and won’t pull as good (even though it dynod 400hp) as my T8.410 and T8.435 also the cab is much louder. Emissions are problems on every color but Cummins has the worst problems for us, both my Mil-stak SP3255 and Versatile have much more emission issues than my blue equipment. The cab is much louder, but the AC works pretty good on it no complaint there. They have updated a lot on the 360 from your model as far as computer screens and what not. They are simple to work on as well. But the blues so far for us have been more reliable. Our versatile dealer stocks every part so all parts for me are one day away.(and we have had some odd issues) no matter what they have had the parts. Also the versatile burns a bit more fuel and uses a bit more def. But we still like the machine.
(Non antique) Blue tractors in the southeast are rarer than unicorns. Our Versatile dealer (1 hour and 15 minutes away) stocks virtually nothing. Drop ships everything. That Versatile is pre def and has no emissions issues….but every John Deere we’ve owned since regin began has had significant and constant issues related to emissions. 8 or 10 tractors across multiple series and years and the issues have remained constant. I have some engine replacement videos on my channel as these John Deere 8Rs can’t seem to pass 6,500 hours on a regin engine
@@PatrickShivers I have heard that there emission engines don’t last. I did do one engine out of all the T8s I’ve owned due to the liner orings failing but as far as emissions the tier 4B CNH engines have no EGR and man are they clean the oil at 500 hour intervals is still nice and brown hardly any soot. The Cummins is black as soon as you poor it in haha! That being said we like both tractors.
Pretty cool comparison, thanks! I’m not a farmer, got a noob question, how do you guys mark fields and keep records what of them? Is it address, numbers or something else?
Fields have descriptive names, such as “the grain bin field” (because it’s next to the grain bins) or “the Cox place” (because the previous owner’s last name was Cox) or “the Hawkins field” (because the Hawkins family lives next to it)
@@alexrybin3798 all the fields are on the GPS map. There isn’t a situation (on our farm) where someone is operating a $200,000 tractor and not familiar with the area.
It’s one in a million. 8360Rs have a widely negative reception across much of the country. I haven’t heard much negative about the tractors JD produced in the last 2-3 years, but the ones made from the introduction of the first R until then have gotten every farmer I’ve ever met highly upset with Deere.
@@PatrickShivers yeah. But I love the 8360R because it didn’t have def. But the best tractors will always be the 4960 and 8400. They just last long and really reliable.
We run 2 2013 575 versatiles and they are super reliable and rarely have down time. My cousins farm runs all John Deere and they have a full time mechanic along side others working on their John Deeres all the time and constant break downs. Don't even get me started on their John Deere combines.... past two years they try to run 4-5 at a time but most the time it's 1-3 because they can't keep them running. Their only excuse is that the dealer is 20-30 min further than John Deere.

New viewer of your channel. Awesome! Really learned a lot !
Thanks for watching Jeff!
Excellent comparison of the tractors. The manufacturers ought to pay attention to this video.
Thanks for watching and commenting.
Good stuff, I will continue to watch whenever you post new videos..
Thank you! I currently have about 230 videos with new ones posted every 4-5 days
Hey that's an awesome review. Very good points on both sides.
amazing video! well produced and good content
Thanks for the kind comment, and thanks for watching!
Great post
Great video
Thank you!
Patrick,
Thanks for this comprehensive review. Info on Versatile is a little harder to find on youtube.
Thanks for watching & commenting!

The deal breaker for me would be getting the part in 20 minutes versus waiting a week for the part. Who wants a tractor down a week in planting time?

great info
Thanks for watching
Good one need to do one next year on them the red and blue 🥜 pickers
Thanks. I could probably piece that video together from the 2 seasons i’ve been comparing them already.
I never had a problem wit our 8335R!!!!
Has it got 6500 hours on it yet? I haven’t heard of any getting to 7,000 without an engine replacement.
Patrick, we need more videos. How often does the Versatile eat its engine?😃
We have never had engine issues with Versatile. It only has 2500 hours on it though.
Hello! So, flipping a coin could solve the conundrum...
Pretty cool comparison, thanks!

@@PatrickShivers Thank you Patrick for answers.
Very informative.How about pulling 6 row peanut combines?
I have videos of that from last October. Amadas v Colombo pickers being pulled with John Deeres and Versatile
Check my feed. Click videos and scroll down to 9 months ago
Thanks Patrick.This is a good weekend to benge watch your channel.
Which one has put you down in the field the most number of times?
JD, but it does have more hours on it.
forgot the whole you can run two of those red ones for the price of one Deere
Good point
Our 8370R has bigger duals then that with a full suite case and i can turn it with my pinky, dunno what thats supposed to mean lol
We’ve had 3 different 300+ hp non articulating john deere tractors all with same issue. 2 had intermittent power steering when brand new
Great video but we hardly ever have codes on our 8360R and it has 7000 hours.

I don’t know if I mentioned it in that video, but that particular 8335R is on it’s 4th engine @ 7500 hours

@@fischerthefarmeryt2913 4960, 8400, & 8530 are the best tractors ever made.

Leesburg, Ga.
John deere much better built and worth the money

You're 40? What the hell happened?
*41
Better get a case ih magnum.lol
You don’t see Case IH very often in our part of the country.
@@PatrickShivers I do like the versatile tractors.
Your air conditioner isn’t working our versatile we will freeze
