The new MX5100 came today and I am impressed. I was asked by a few people to post a photo and answer a couple questions.
I had a L3700SU before this one and liked the tractor and felt it was a good machine despite the jerky 3pt hitch. The new 5100 is very smooth both lifting and lowering and I did not notice any jumpiness on the 3pt. I also had to lift about 900lbs from the bed of my truck today and it picked up up very easily and smoothly with the front loader (set of SSQD forks on). The tractor was far more stable and even without a counter balance I felt planted to the ground (flat only had to drive back about 10 feet however)
I also noticed it is far more stable on our WV hills and the larger wheels and tires do provide a smoother ride.
Anyway, I hope this answers all the questions I was asked and if there are other let me know!
