I would go for the deere. I have rode in a 9650 and a 9750sts. I would go for a 9750 if i could find one . more comfortable cab. One thing i would watch out for is the light on the 9750 and 9650 for the unloading auger. When i was in the 96 and 97 at night you couldent see the auger very well. good luck.
