Re: New MX5100
i dont blame you for keeping the massey.im the same way.my dad bought 7700 cab tractor with quick tatch loader in 78.an that tractor will be here forever.then my other fav tractor is 6000 ford SOS.an that tractor is my fav an she is staying forever as well.I'll post pictures soon (as if everybody out there hasn't seen a few dozen of these already). But to recap, I sold the BX25 for $14,000 to a great guy living about an hour away from me. My Kubota dealer offered me a very reasonable $6000 on the Massey Ferguson I had to trade in.
He arrived with my new Kubota on the back of his truck, unloaded, and prepared to load my Massey trade. I found that...I just couldn't trade it in. I purchased that tractor with my Dad, who has since passed away. Even though I readily admit that it makes all the sense in the world to do maintenance on just one tractor, I couldn't bring myself to leave it go. I kept the Massey, and now have two tractors.
So, alongside the Massey now sits an MX5100 with HST, front end loader, and a bunch of acres to mow this fall. Ag tires are on it, and loaded. I skipped the rear remotes at this time, and will bug all of you here for advice on which type to install when/if I have the need. Great tractor so far, with the exception of a starting issue, which is detailed on the Owning/Operating section.
