Anyone know what Powr Quad Plus is? A mate is looking for a used tractor of about 120hp but needs a creeper, ideally 50k with suspension. His driver requires yellow wheels, which narrows things down somewhat

power quad plus is just the quad, with a fifth range. 50k may be available elsewhere, but I've never seen a Deere travel over 26mph (40kph)

hmm, I thought they all had 5 ranges.... They appear to have quite a few 50k models now, it seems to becoming the default top speed for all new tractors now.

I dont see the point in 50k in the states..... most of our machinery wont handle that road speed. We used to wear out a lot of spindles and wheel bearings on the old JD 100 balers with the tandems and JD 7800's with the 19spd powershift..... 25mph with 20.8-38's

you guy use trucks where we use our tractors, but your white/clear diesel is cheaper than ours. It is cheaper for my friend to have his man drive the tractor 100 miles than put it on a lowloader, which is why he would like 50k and he's just bought a trailer with air brakes, so he'll want a compressor too.
The trailers that we haul our crops with have 60k axles and truck tyres on, but that is pretty much standard now. So implements don't like speed though. I'm not in any hurry to move the potatoe harvester at 50k, even if the traffic would allow me too
