Anyone have real seat time in a John Deere 1270E model is the John Deere 1270G worth the upgrade? Anyone seeing any real offense besides modules instead of fuses I know the later E models got better with electrical.
Are there any American non-military assets as close to the Russian border as the John Deere Finland Factory?

The 1165's was a fairly slow development.

I see some loggers going for smaller track harvester JD 803MH, levelling TC 822 etc rather than the rubber tire 6x6, 8x8 harvesters, and heavy duty dangle & fixed heads are being developed for (non-wheel) track harvesters.

(There was a Linkbelt with a Tigercat head) are there any tracked John Deeres (non-wheel track harvesters) with Tigercat dangle processing heads?

6x6 version 1165 might cost about $5 less than the 8x8 version. (1.5 mins in) with covers off.
