Welcome! I own a 5105M which is the larger of the 5000 series tractors. I use mine for ranching, haying, etc. I really think I could have gotten by with the 5085M as far as horse power but I would still like to add more weight on the rear (thinking of filling rears with rimguard). You will like the M's as they are top of the line. If you have any questions just ask.

To answer the power question we need to know what work you want to do with it and what equipment you want to run off the PTO. Matched to the right equipment a 5085M has plenty of power but there is always someone with more land and more bottoms to his plow that needs more. What do you need or want?
