Tractor
2015 MF 5612
Bought a new 5093E in 2012 and had nothing but problems. Very disappointing.

Tractor had 1200 hours on the clock and spent 2100 hours at the dealer in the 3 years I owned it.

Bought a MF 5612 Deluxe. Pretty much equivalent to a 6125R but didn't cost much more then a 5m. Very impressed so far, not fair to compare it to a 5E but wow, I should have spent a little more and got one of these to start with! Dyna 4 powershift (can shift, de-clutch, foreward-reverse all from joystick), cab suspension, loader suspension, 3 point suspension, armrest controls, brake to clutch, etc. Its bigger then the 5E but way better loader visibility due to the sloping hood, and so quiet inside!

It's a good size for a do everything farm tractor. Dealer says around 14000lbs as equipped. Needed a lot of ballast handling silage bales with the little Deere, don't even know they are there with this!

What is the FEL lift with that machine?

The self leveling lift is a little lower at 4200lbs to full height, 3 point is almost 8600lbs.

How did you avoid that? I also like how wide the front tires are.
Has DEF only and no DPF, the 5609 and 5610 actually have neither which I was thinking about, but wanted more power.

You think the front tires look wide? You should see the rears, lol. Fronts are 480/60R28 and rears are 600/60R38 Michelin Xeobib

Congratulations, very nice looking machine.
Thanks, I hope it does a lot better then the Deere! The local Massey/Kubota/Fendt dealer has a much better reputation then the John Deere dealer so thats a good start.
