You will like the new ones. With traction control, you won't be spinning much and the front suspension is much better. The Doosan engine has a dry-pocket type block heater so it is easy to install.

ruffdog, this machine has the traction control but does it still have the differential lock for the rear axle?

well the new machine arrived today, put a couple hours on it thus far and most impressed, compared to the old gal its night and day, looking forward to working it some on the weekend, we had snow a couple days ago, right way the extra power and high flow was noticeable, the traction system is going to take some getting use to, feels way different to the old series how it moves

Wow that’s so nice. I have been after the “ clean, used, low hour, loaded 5610 “ seemingly forever. Each time I get close to finding it, one of my existing necessary pieces of equipment takes a serious turn for the worse and needs to be replaced.
Please post some pictures and keep me inspired to work harder and faster so I can finally get one! :laughing:

will post a few pictures in the coming days, put 6 hours on it doing nothing useful during isolation, most businesses are shut down these days.

drove it last night in the dark to see how well the lights are compared to the series A, they are not the greatest if traveling at higher speed, this was the reason I switched to the 4 LED lights to replace factory, fortunately I ordered this new one with the road package, it had headlights, they work very well however when activated the 4 upper flood lights are turned off, I assume its due when on roads they do not bother oncoming vehicles.

top speed displayed is 22kmph, seems quicker than the old one, I like the pickup and smooth acceleration the deceleration is still abrupt if in cruise and try to stop with the brake, once cruise goes off its abrupt more so than the old one, a feature I do like id being able to increase speed with the plus and minus buttons on the display.

used the blower on some heavy wet snow, got into the side of the ditch, the old one even locking the axle would require a tow, this one just crawled out by itself, I do like the traction control system.

its also surprising how much has been moved around, seems there is a fuse box below the operator's seat, way easier to access, battery has moved to the passenger side, just a way better layout, also looking at the rear tow hitch, it does look way more heavy duty for construction and Ilike the close to parallel lift, no more adjusting tilt down when raising load or tilting back when lowering.

one thing I miss is the lower door windows, not sure why I do not recall ever using them but now they are not there I keep trying to look thro them

this weekend should be fun, with the snow going fast I can get into the field

take care out there
