Tying to work through all the pros and cons for each of these machines and which one would make the most sense for my needs. Primary use will be cutting 20 acres of fairly hilly pasture land, not too steep though and secondary usage would include general maintenance of gravel roadway, fence repair and some work in the woods.
I have driven the hst and gear versions of the Mx and the 4600. I really prefer gear, but can't handle the gear shift between the legs on those models, so if I go with either of those they would have to be hydro. The MX is probably about the right size HP and weight to meet my needs, but I really like the features and feel of the M5140. It may be more than I need, but I am not sure. It sure seems like a lot more tractor for not much more money compared to the MX5100 HST.
Any feedback from current owners of these models or thoughts on the M5140 value vs the others would be very helpful.
Thanks!
