I have been outside looking in for some time now. Thought I should say Hi. Three weeks ago my brother (who being a disabled quad) and I bought the M5700, He has been on it most of the time mowing fields, what a great tractor. I,m left using the IH454 w/fel. I bought my wife a Bx1500 w/fel,mmm last week, I just love that machine. I'm sold on Kubota
