5115M delivery

It showed up Friday night at 5:30. Driver stayed late to deliver it because it was supposed to rain the next day. I really appreciated that! Have a huge pile of dirt and clay left over from our construction project. Started out moving that and filling in low spots around the farm. Wow this thing will move dirt much better that I expected. Rear blade is very strong. Scrapes packed gravel off the driveway easily. Very happy, no complaints! !

Yeah, I've never even seen a tractor that size without a cab anywhere around here it would have to be a special order.

What I meant was seems everyone is buying Cabs regardless of size. How is that??

Sorry, went over my head. Just a casual observation; may be a regional thing, in my area at least more CUTS are open station than cab and new UT and up are cabbed, no intent to stir things up.

None taken,Isn't a Cab a option? My take on TBNers buying seems to favor Cabs lately regardless of size. Including my Brother.

I had to check, but an open station is available on the OP tractor, I just never see any on the lots that size without a cab.

Buying cabs seem to be more prevalent on TBN in the past. It may be because we are all getting older, more disposable income etc., just don't know. As I've mentioned more times than people care to hear, but my ideal setup for years was a combination, I jut can't run an open station anymore. My father in law went to cab tractors too as he got older with more health problems.

I'm old enough to remember when cab Ag tractors were an oddity and when you got off after disking up burned what field stubble, you were black from head to toe. On any day we ran tractors growing up, we left our clothes on the steps before entering the house.

Man that is a nice tractor keep us in the loop as you get a chance to play with it.:licking:


I think cabs have improved so much that they are simply more appealing than before. Times change as far as options go, I easily remember when a heater was an option in a pickup, now I am not sure if you can buy one without air conditioning. I have never regretted buying the cabs on my tractors.

Thanks everyone. Just got cleaned up from working on building up the grade around our shop. Was more fun than work. Using some dirt with lots of clay in it then gravel on top. Love the joystick control for the loader. The float detent on the loader is great for back dragging dirt and rock. Also drove it over to a friend's place about 5 miles away to move some big rocks for him. Drives great going down the road also. Glad I went with the heavy duty blade. Scrapping the gravel off the road in our yard is tough going but going better than I thought it would. Tractor has way more power than traction, glad I went with the larger tires.

When I get the yard leveled out I plan on getting the mower out and staring on mowing ditches and waterways.

Congrats on the new tractor. She's a Beaut!!!!

On the cab issue. I wanted open station when I bought my 95HP Kubota. I only found one new tractor on a dealer's lot. Had to drive 400 miles one way to get it. They had sold 24 of that model in that year. This was the only open station one.
