I work in a mine as a mechanic and work on both these model of machines, the general feeling from operators is that the R is a better tractor . What are your thoughts and experience

    The r is much better than the t cause the t electronics is crap.

    Well if thats the case then the N is a dream to operate.

    I'll take a 9L over any of them anyday!

    The L is stronger but lazy but is good...N and R power and speed and I love that.

    Emissions upgrade = burn more, push less so R > T
