Price Check Kubota MX5100 HST

[TripleR]

I agree, nice to have two remotes, and 3 is best if you can swing it. I agonized over number of remotes because I was already beyond my "budget" for the tractor, so I went with 2. Now after year and a half with the tractor, it is clear that for me 3 would have been worth it. I could have just about paid for the 3rd remote (sort of) by spending even more money on a top and tilt instead of getting a cylinder for the tilt on my rear blade, and then come out ahead on the next implement that would use the tilt. But I didn't know what I didn't know...

Pretty much how I learned, got two rear remotes on our M8540 in 2010 thinking that would be plenty, when I bought the L5740 last year I went with three, of course I neglected to get any with float and didn't get third function either, live and learn.

1st set is a must, 2nd set is a luxury in that class tractor. float preferably on that 2nd set... a MX is definitely not a large acreage ag tractor, you cant even buy an OEM cab for it lol

It is what it is , a small utility tractor and a Kubota lol

Cab? What's a cab?

That price seems about inline with my local dealer. Alot of Kubota owners say the MX4700/MX5100 are the "sweet spot" in the Kubota line.

I agree on the remotes.... Try to negotiate a set or two. If you ever treat yourself to a grapple you'll need some kind of remote setup, and it's nearly always easier & cheaper to add them up front.

Im back. To answer a few questions, Yes I have looked at other brands. JD doesnt have anything I liked. Branson dealer is a jerk- told me I was a "hassle". I did like the Branson but wanted HST and cannot find a 4720HST. Kioti is nice but too far away. MF too pricey. So Im back to Kubota. The remotes I haven't thought about, didn't know if I would use them. I am getting a 3rd function for the FEL to operate a grapple, about $1000. And the FEL is QA. So MX5100 HST, FEL with QA, R4 tires loaded with water and antifreeze 26535.20 delivered + 3rd function. Sound good?

Sounds like a good price for a MX5100.

TSO how do you like the LS? They look nice, havent priced one.

Love it. Check the LS forum, lots of very very happy owners there.

That's in line with the numbers we came up with a hypothetical MX-5100 in another thread recently....sounds like a fair price.

Thanks everyone, different line of thought. What kind of fuel consumption can I expect out of a tractor this size? I was looking at smaller tractors before and was seeing 1.5-2 gal an hour. Is this good? I assume the MX5100 would be more but how much? Anybody know?
