John Deere tractor

We are not in the market for a new tractor but a neighbor farmer has this John Deere tractor that I couldn’t stop looking at. The body is low and seems more simple than conventional tractors. The wheels, or lack there of, are spread wider to provide balance of the low chassi and provide less compaction on the ground. It looks like a brilliant design and would like to know how it rides. This particular tractor was hooked to a tillage tool, so it must be somewhat powerful for its size. I believe that tractors are moving away from conventional rubber wheels and more toward this design.
