Ill go ahead and throw another wrench into the fire for you. Around here is big time farming (no on the big scale as the Midwest) but big time nonetheless. We do it all around here from row crop to hay to horses and cows. I know many farmers on big and small scales that own 5e and 5003 tractors. Most use them for hay or general stuff like mowing or pulling peanut carts, etc. you don't see many M's around here. Either you have something like a 5e and then your next smallest tractor is 120hp or the 5e is your main tractor. A friend of mine does cows and hay and his three tractors are a 6410, 4650, and a 5603. I think you'll find the 5e series can handle the high number of hours it's just do you want those extra features the M gives you. Farmers around here don't seem to want them and the 5e has the features they're looking for.
