My dad bought a 6110 on the same day as I bought my 5035 back in 2012. He has almost 400 hours on his and I have 300 on mine. He is about to take his back to the dealer for the 4th time. Twice for the front end controller and once for the a/c not working. This time it is the front end controls again AND his PTO won't work. I wouldn't take his tractor if he gave it to me for free. Even with water filled rear tires it wants to tip with a bale of hay up front and the forward reverse controls are clunky at best.
My 5035 with PST is awesome. I've documented a few things on here, but I (a mechanical novice) have fixed them all with electrical tape, white lithium grease or a fuse swap...with the exception of a defective hydraulic hose that showed up on the first day.
This is coming from a guy who would love to have a cab tractor....
Just as a heads up, I am pretty sure that they are going to have a new 3550 (5035 replacement) with a cab in the not to far future. Now that will be one sweeeeeeet machine. :drool:
