5115M finally arrived.

Wow! You sure did get it all. Got to ask though, did you get the control that adjust the forward/reverse speed?

No I didn't, I wanted to get it but it is my understanding that it is a factory install? If not it will be put on really fast cause the jerky motion of going forward to the faster reverse can be quite abrupt.

Nope... you can have the dealer install it and program the tractor's computer for correct operation. Nearly plug and play - quick job.

I installed my own but you will have to have someone from the dealer to program the tractor's computer so it will work. I purchased my tractor used and they tried to charge me for a $200 service call. Since you bought a new, LOADED$$, tractor, I doubt that they will charge you.

The modulator works well and makes direction changes much gentler. You have a great machine there. Enjoy it.

Very nice tractor! Curious what drove you to choose the 5M versus either a 5E or even the 6D series? We see more of those around here and few M series.


You will love that grapple, it's so handy for all sorts of things.

That's awesome guess what I'm getting next
I love that everything is plug and play on this tractor.

Do you know what the modulator cost? I hope that the fact I bought so much worth of extras that they could throw in free programming.

The extra comfort and capabilities (more HP bigger lift capacities on the 3 point) of the 5M vs 5E is what drove me to it plus I don't know if it's just me but it seems the M is heavier on the frame than the E which helps for stability without adding extra weights, I was thinking about the 6 series as well but it's considerably more tractor than what I would need (although it sure has a fancy cab in it.)

Even this one is more HP than what I need but it's good to go a little bigger and not need it than go too small and need more (found that out the hard way with the kubota, lol.)

I just got a quote about 5 minutes ago from my dealer. $144

Nice tractor, enjoy. I would talk to the dealer though about getting a spare tire the same color as the tractor, the orange clashes.
