Congratulations, bushhog! That should be a fine machine. I'm a MF'er now too. Bought TSO's old 1648. Great guy to deal with!

Congrats again. I don't know if I could stand to wait a few weeks! Enjoy it and let us know how you like it.
Give us some updates when you get it! My wife and I have been tractor shopping for a while now and we are pretty sure we are going to go for a 5611 or 5612 and get rid of the deere. Had a guy help me wrap silage this year and he showed up in a 5613 that he bought that morning after his deere broke down. I drove it a little, very impressed but very pricey. Hopefully it will be a well built tractor and worth the money. Low Canadian dollar at the moment isn't helping, base 5612 with loader is around 95k. Local dealer has sold quite a few, only a few minor problems so far.
Hey matt, i remember your deere problems. Life is to short to deal with lots of problems. My 5085e lasted me 60 hours. Was looking at 5085m but its nothing compared to this massey. Get on you tube and look up spring hallow hay farm. He has a 5610 he farms with, great info as he just posted his 350 hr review. He had a few ealy little things, but he also has an early 2013 model. I cant find any major issues online in regards to one. Shop around, i found a great price out of state compared to local. If you want to buy out of US pm me and ill give you my dealer.
Bushhog28 thanks, I checked out the videos. Makes me want one even more lol. The 5600 is around the same price as the NH, and Kubota but with way more features. It's about 10k cheaper then the 6105M, not that I would ever buy another JD. Mines been at the dealer for 4 weeks again now to replace ring and pinion, and a syncroniser. I am a little concerned about how long all the electronic stuff will hold up, but I really like the DEF over the DPF.
Deere, NH, Kubota, Ram, Chey, ford all use EGR, DPF filters, regens to clean DPF filters. EGR (Exhaust gas recirculation) is bad for diesels as the exhaust usually contains particulate. It robs power and fuel efficiency. Regens can cause oil dilution due to blow by. Regens burn more fuel. they dump raw fuel down exhaust to ignite DPF for cleaning. Most folks forget that raw fuel has to go through the exhaust side of the turbo which usually reduces turbo life. DPF filters need replaced over time, they are thousands of dollars. New deeres etc. use the Urea fluid, EGR, DPF. Poor way to meet emissions in my opinion.
Massey and SCR technology. No DPF, no EGR on 5611,5612,5613. Which means no regens. Motor is tuned for power and efficiency, not tweaked to handle fuel dumping. It meets power and efficiency when people think of a diesel engine. It does have DEF. When the exhaust comes out of the turbo, they measure NOX, they then dose DEF to meet the emissions. They arnt just spraying it in there, they use only the amount needed to meet specs, so you aren't going through a tank of DEF every tank of fuel. I have been told it barely uses it, I'll report back my usage rates. Another thing, you can idle her all day, cause you are not clogging a DPF. These other companies tell you shut it off if idling more than 4 minutes.
I think the SCR technology Massey uses is far superior to these DPF systems. I wouldn't be surprised if the others go to this technology later. Not sure what patents etc. are in play, but the way they meet emissions far exceeds the crowds solution.
