How big is your operation? A 5000 series might be just right for you but it would be just a guess for us. Around my area they usually use a heaver framed tractor. Some of the bigger guys use a 7000 series for a loader tractor.

There are several 50xxM tractor owners on this site. Surprised you haven't received more response.
I haven't owned one but there are a LOT of them around me. I've not heard any complaints. Either will easily handle the chores you listed.
What are you going to have to pay for a used one??

300 acres hay ground three times per year. Around 150 tons of poultry litter to load and around 300 tons of cattle manure to load/year
Looks like around $30k if I can find a good used one
thanks

I watched an older 5310 moving large round bales Sunday. It's considerably smaller/lighter than the current 5 series. He was carrying 2 at a time, one on the FEL, one on a rear stabber and easily loaded a GN tandem axle deckover trailer 2 bales high.
The JD guys must all be in the fields trying to put up hay today!!! I'm watching it rain all day in Missouri.

That's one thing I like about the M series. They are heavier than the E series. Having used FEL's all my life, you need the weight when moving bales and loading wet heavy manure.
