Okay I'll try to explain it better for you guys. I Need a mid-size tractor. Similar to the 5210. Trying to figure out what other model numbers were for that same frame size tractor. I need a tractor that I can use in my indoor arena that has hydraulics on the rear for my drag and my hydraulic dump trailer. Would like it to be 8000# or less. I need this tractor when all of my other tractors are busy doing other jobs. The bales through our 605 vermeer average 2200#. We have a 5519 genie with a double bale grapple we unload trucks and stack the barn with. This will not be my #1 hay handling tractor but want the same size and abilities as the 5210 in a newer model.
If you're dragging an indoor, my opinion is that the 5e series is too big to do it comfortably. I drag mine with a 4410, which I think is perfect for the job. A buddy of mine has a 4610 but drags his indoor with a 4-wheeler because it's more maneuverable and faster.
I realize this post doesn't address the other tasks you want to accomplish with an additional tractor but I have a 5e and wouldn't want to have to rely on it for dragging the indoor.
