Close to buying MX5100

Yes the telescoping 3 point links are a big plus especially with cat 2 impliments which have the captured pin hook up instead of the open end pins on the cat 1. Good luck with your new MX. Nice tractor.

It arrived yesterday and so far it's great. Somehow looking at it on my property, the size 'just fits'. The 3800 would have been too small. I managed to clear a spot beside my garage for the implements, take a full bucket of rocks down to a creek to stabilize a culvert and turn a large compost pile!

One learning is to invest in the telescoping 3PH or quick hitch of some sort. Swapping implements would be a major pain without this. Waiting for the tiller to arrive this week.

Will take it easy for a bit as the land is still soft and, with loaded tires, I don't want to damage the trails. I stayed out of the fields so far.

Pics to follow!

Very nice! Yes, pics are necessary.

Ohh one more thing - as others have noted, the parking brake is awful! Very difficult to engage, never sure if it's engaged, etc.

Home sweet home!

I've got 28 hrs on my mx51. Finally got a chance to break-her-in a little bit this past weekend.:thumbsup:

That's a big tiller! What size is that? What are you doing - putting in garden?

It's a 7' baltic tiller and this things got one **** of an appetite. Let me tell ya, when I drop her, she's destroying a little piece of mother earth.:laughing: I'm getting this ground ready for whitetail institute.:thumbsup:
