Nice job, looks like you did well. Who is the dealer you went with? I am going to the farm expo in Vermillion,SD today, the wife wont let me go alone, she is afraid I will bring home a new tractor.

I went with Schunemans out of Garretson, S.D., just northeast of Sioux Falls. Have fun at the Farm Expo, lots of toys there to tickle your fancy!

Talked to the dealer today. Unit is scheduled into his dealership Feb 13, should be delivered to me by the end of Feb! Woo Hoo

I said for years that when I turned 60 I was going to buy a new Harley Davidson. I didn't care how much in debt I was, I was going to have one. Well I did make it to 60. I bought a new Massey Freguson with a cab and heat instead. I do think it was a better choice. I am happy.

Congrats on your new tractor! Nothing like a good, hard look at the calendar to get oneself "motivated"!

Thanks AKfish, I have to admit I've enjoyed your many posts as I've researched the tractor I need. I would have LOVED an M series, and the dealer I bought the 5093e from had a 5075m with 200 hrs and an H260 loader on it for 5k more than the 5093e but I decided I wanted HP for my extra $$ over the extra amenities of the 5075m. Time will tell if I made the right decision but for now I'm stoked.
