Currently I’ve got a Case 2006 STX330 as my main tractor, not bad just after 3yrs with it wanting to move back to JD. My STX330 will be listed on FBN when their ‘For Sale page’ opens. If you’re interested before then I can email/text pictures & info, listing it at $78,000.
Anyways, I’m looking at early R & RT (2010-2012). Yes they’ll be higher hours (5K-8K) but who wants to tell me what they hated about those series? I see plenty I think I’ll like, especially a smoother in field ride with tracks, but I want to know what people had issues with.

Ya were Deere fans over here lol but anyway the 30 series are holding there value so well partly for that reason I think..that’s probably opinion but that an no emissions..but ya if you found one that had the pip done to it you pry be fine!! 🤷🏽♂️

I’m mainly looking at 2010 320 & 345 R & RTs. Found one 2012 360rt but it’s pushing 8k on hours. Not quite ready to go that high on hours yet. The ‘10 models are 4500-6500 on hours.
Appreciate it ******! I wasn’t aware of that yet but only just started looking up info in these years. 8530 w/ils is another option but the last few that I’ve seen at auction with 8K+ hours still brought a hefty premium, figure if I’m gonna pay that might as well move up a series for similar money.

If you need any help, lemme know.
Solid point ****. I’ll see what I can find.
If you could find a 8330 with decent hours for cheaper, you can tune that to 8530 specs.
*Or years with this problem
Well we have an 8310R 2011 an love it for most part..but **** Deere has a PIP on these I think up to around 2014 or 15.. the rings are bad in them cause of higher heat from all this emission crap...we had to rebuild are engine..they paid a good percentage of it..but just keep that in mind as that’s a fairly big issue...an it will save a lot of headache.. they have the same rings as the 30 series t...
