you had your tractor 6 years and only put 100 hrs on it ?
Yep but don't let that mislead you. It actually got used on a regular basis it's just that it had the analog hour meter and those things are slow. I've already put 7 hours on my 5325 and I swear that digital hour meter moves faster.
It will be interesting to see how the new 67hp tractor compares to your old 56hp tractor. I have one tractor that is 67hp and another that is 55 and honestly cannot tell much difference. Now mine are both three cylinder and I think you said your new one is 5 cylinder so I am sure that will make some difference.
RollingsFarms,
Think I may have bought your 5203 on Monday. Traded in my 1964 JD3020 for it at Mast Tractor, it has 103 hours on it at the moment, had been on the lot for about 3 weeks, and he said it came from the Carolinas, could not have remembered if it was North or South. Anyway, am well pleased with it. Looks like you take care of your equipment the way I do! Have a Wallenstein FX90 winch to put on the back, am eager to see how it will do skidding logs compared to the old 2WD 3020.

It very well could be my tractor! I think it was the only 5203 mfwd he had. If it was mine I can tell you that tractor might have sat outside twice in the 6 years I owned it. I think you will he pleased how well it pulls. I had it set up just for pulling a disk (loaded rear tires and wheel weights). The last job I did with that tractor was pulling up some bushes and it did so with no problems at all, didn't even spin the tires. Hope you enjoy it for many years to come!
