The 6415 only goes about 18mph, seems slow compared to Edward S's. Only mild hills doesn't even slow it down. But then I am already going slow :D

My 6715 goes a solid 20, I have 18.4R38 and 13.6R28. I have said I have 13.6R24 so many times, woops.

The lack of black smoke must be the computer controlled fuel injection, because the E will pump out some black smoke! I'm sure them M is much better on fuel too.

My 5085M loves her fuel and makes quite of bit of smoke.

Cool, that's what I'll do then. Yep, I got the Michelin Agribibs.

It's 3.6 miles each way and I'll be doing it once a month during the growing season.

It was a fun drive yesterday. This thing maxes out at 22.2 mph. :D

These back roads a very hilly and I had to downshift a lot to keep it from lugging. Good break in for the engine. I'm not seeing any black smoke, even when running WOT up a hill and having to down shift. I guess that's a good thing.

When your going down the hills, put it in neutral and just keep your foot on the brakes, not on the left or right brake, both. Trust me, you don't want to come flying down with your foot on only one brake, LOL.

Mine only goes 21.1mph :(

Your 5085M is so darn quiet someone could steal it and you wouldn't even hear it. Not giving myself any ideas. ;)

Does it have the whiz bang electronic common rail Tier III or Tier IV emissions diesel? Or the mechanical pump Tier II engine?
The 2012 5085-5115Ms are Tier IV with the common rail injection.
