Welcome to TBN.
I took delivery of my 5105M in August of 2011. I now have about 250 hrs on it. I agree with what others have said: controls are well placed, 540E is fuel saver, adjustable modulator valve for tranny is nice, manuevers in tight spot very well, plenty of hp for haying and chores, air condition will run you out of cab, but my favorite options is the 32/16 Plus tranny, air ride seat and remote fender mounted 3pt switch.
I have had two issues at about 100 hrs: hydaulic line fitting leak and had to have the remote SUV spooler valve assembly replaced. All done by my dealer at no charge.
The only design flaw I have issue with is the inside cab rear view mirror is positioned so that you can't see very far behind you.
Bottom line, I have no regrets and am very happy with my "M".
