what were you trying to do with yours? I'm excited to be able to get the v6 Detroit out of my garage that's been taking up space for 2 years because i have no way to get it outside. LOL It's the little things in life sometimes.

I'm looking into a MX5100 as well with the BH92 Backhoe. My garage door height is roughly 7 ft 3" and I have about 19 ft depth. If I back the tractor and extend hoe to clear door then turn it to the side I think I can fit it. How deep is your garage? And do you know you rigs length with the hoe folded to the side? Any info would be great. Thanks

My mx5100 is my pride and joy, never done a days work with it.... it has always been pure fun.

I have an MX5100--no loader-- and had no idea it would lift that much. A TON is a lot for a fairly small tractor. What a workhorse these tractors are.

Huh, that's really interesting. It should be just as bad lifting that far out. regardless that's awesome it handled it no problem looks like a helluva machine! I got really lucky if I had gotten something even an inch taller it wouldn't have fit in my garage. As it is i have to have the rops down to pull it in and out and it still hits on the door but just barely.

You are dang right the MX5100 is a heck-of-a-machine. Those are very nice tractors at a great price. People don't always need a beast of a tractor for some of the very reasons you mentioned ... It fits in your garage.

You would be hard pressed to find anyone disappointed with a MX, its a nice affordable and reliable unit

I have a MX5100 with 300 hours on it now. The only complaints I have are the rear is a bit light, even with the loaded tires, I also don't like how high the rpm's have to be to acheive 540 on the pto ( although I mow at a much lower RPM just fine) also the diff lock should be on the left side not right so you can use the throttle while using the diff lock. Although i think they did move it to the otherside in the newer models.These are all really minor complaints though. I would buy another one in a minute.

we was pulling a 4 bale hay hauler with it loaded with 4 1800lb 5 by 6 bales an 1 on fel.an it was more than the tractor could really pull.an even just pulling the hay hauler loaded it was all it wanted.so i traded it in on a 2013 7040SU rops 4x4 1153 loader.
