Thanks,I hated to get rid of it but got another cab 7040,that 5040 was a great 50hp tractor even spent some time pulling a 15ft batwing. Your 5055 will handle them just don't get in a rush. I widened my stance out and loaded rears,helps it be more stable. Those bales where baled by JD's biggest 5x6 baler,heavy as you could get,couldnt even set two side by side on gooseneck trailer,claimed they weighted 2,000+, and I bet they did.View attachment 355196 View attachment 355197.

Well the more research I did the more dealers I found offering 0%. So the wife an I visted 4 dealers today an I absolutely fell in love with a new holland t4.85. It has 3rd loader valve, cab, and 4 wd. When I started my search I didn't expect to go all out but with incentives an new holland giving me 1400 more for my trade than anyone I couldnt resist. I can't wait to get it on the fsrm an try it out.

I'll def get my wife to do that. I wanna take some pictures of us baleing. I know we aren't as big as most but I think we have a pretty impressive operation

I'm not that big either,only around 75acres hay ground and run a 5x4baler. I started a 2013 hay season thread last year and will start a 2014 hay season thread,a lot of nice hay season pics from everyone,big and small operations but nice to see how everyone is doing...

Should make you a good tractor. How does the t4 frame size compare to the t5?

The t5 is a little bigger an be said has upgraded hydralics. The t4 will do exactly what I want tho.
