M5-111

[derekuk101]

Our new M5-111 was delivered yesterday. Ready for Spring to get here so we can get it outside and see how she does. Its almost identical to our M8540 except for the DPF and DEF systems. Our 8540 has 3400 hours with no problems beside a few cables that have froze/locked up. We hope that this one will be as dependable.

I investigated the M5-111HDC24 a year or so ago but decided that I could not deal with DEF.

I like it! Good move on the cast weights. You wont regret those.
Im gonna stick with my pre-emissions Kubbys a while longer.

Hoping that the emissions will be trouble free! At least we have 5 years of warranty to get us through. I believe Kubota has “improved” some of the parts associated with the DEF system. I didn’t like the regens on my 6.4 but I think they will be a little easier to manage on a tractor. I do like that the tractor gives you a percentage of how full the DPF is.

The emission control systems are here to stay, some people like new tractors, some like to keep their old ones, to each their own. I kinda like a new tractor, they even smell good inside the cab! It will be fine, some people worry too much, kinda like being afraid of their own shadow.
