I have 6 acres of land. I have a 2 acre motocross track for my son and I to play on. I need to do quite a bit of box blade work and my wife is planting cut flowers.
I am looking at a 2016 5055E and a 2016 4052M. Both are within a few thousand of each other in price. The 5055e has the 512 loader and a 12 speed sync transmission. The 4052 is Hydro with a D170 loader. The 4052 is a 52HP and the 5055E is a 55HP. The 5055E has 5 more HP at the PTO, though I don't know I ever plan to run a PTO implement.
The loaders have pretty similar specs. the 5055E weighs about 2k lbs more than the 4052 and is a little wider. The bulk of my usage will be loader/dirt work so I am shying away from the sync transmission. I dont want to get the smaller tractor and be disappointed later but the hydro would be easier to use for dirt work. The 5055 comes with a canopy and the 4052 does not. Could always add one or wear a hat.
Recommendations/guidance?
