If you are a "best bang for the buck" person, this is the tractor for you. For under $13,000, you get a 50 horsepower tractor that can handle most anyone's needs plus it comes equipped with the ever reliable John Deere engine.
If you spend a lot of time on your tractor and need reliable power and comfort, the 5103 will fit your needs perfectly. The only things I would change would be making rear hydraulic hookups standard and have the pto disengage when the clutch is pushed in for safety reasons.
