Sorry to hear about the fire—never easy when equipment goes down unexpectedly. My dad is in a similar spot right now. He’s looking at tractors with a cab and loader, and was eyeing the new 5M series, especially the 5120M or 5130M. But with quotes coming in around $115K, it's hard to justify the spend. We came across a clean 6140D with cab and loader, only 1800 hours, listed for $65K, and it really got us thinking. From what we’ve researched, the 6140D has more raw power and a simpler setup, which might be better for field work like planting corn/beans and cutting hay. It may not have the newer tech and comfort of the 5M, but the value seems strong
—especially if insurance takes time or falls short.
