How's that 5093 working for you I'm looking at getting one. I'm going to bale hay and bush hog mostly with it. What kind of problems have you had?

I'm surprised to hear about the build quality problems. I've got an 09 5101E that has not had the first issue yet. Literally not one. It's only got about 320 hours, but you would think that the early models would have issues and the newer would have the bugs worked out.

I own a 2010 5093e limited. I have had a few complaints I think the hydraulics are weak. Ive run heavy equipment and I might be used to more strength in the hydraulics, I owned a 5320 with a FEL and it seemed ok,so I thouht this would be stonger , but It seems not. Ive had the dealer chk the pressure and all is well as far as specs. But Im not overly impressed. The tractor is ok But I wish I had gone with the 5101 Its has more HP etc....The 5093e is an all around good tractor and will do all the M series does and doesnt $$$$$$ as much , as Im sure your aware of.I have 553 FEL non self leveling, 85" bucket. Ive run heavy FEL with this feature,but not on this size,I personally think they are not worth the extra $$$$$$ on a tractor of this nature and size. It all depends on the owners preference. My tractor has 18.4 / 30s rear and 12.4 / 24s front all loaded with rim guard etc..... I like the bigger tires, John DEERE is not known for the wide tractor in ths series in my opinnion, They are built for flat landers . Ive got HILLS steep and rough.etc..... Over all I would rate it 8 out of 10, 10 being the highest. The tractor may have improved in the newer models, I had a shuttle speed control installed, and ordered mine with an air ride seat, and radio installed. Mine was priced around $50,000. delivered I hope this gives you some Info.I live in southwestern Pa.

Well... if it's any consolation, I've had a few irritations with my 2011 5075M, too. Mostly leaking hyd and the fuel tank.
The issues weren't apparent right away. A drip here and there and then about 75 hours into working the tractor - I had to go over the tractor with wrenches looking for loose fittings and nuts, etc.
Annoying but nothing real critical.

There asking me 62,000 for the 5093E with loader and a 15' rotator cutter. Is this good?

The price is good, especially considering the third valve to the fel. The kit alone on that is 1100. I just bought the 2012 5083e and with the same loader and quite a few add ons and it was close to 50k. My old 2010 5083e setup the same as yours was 42k and then another 1100 for the third valve to the front that I installed myself.
