New MX5100 on the way!

[CJBOTA]

I closed a deal today on a new MX5100. I'm going with R1 tires, QA bucket, and an FFC 84" Hyd. Angle front blade. This thing caught my eye at the local fair in early September. It was love at first sight. I'm trading in my L3700 with a little over 500 hours on it. The L3700 is a great tractor and I have really enjoyed it, but I need a little more weight and PTO HP to run my new Rears 300 Gallon airblast sprayer in the orchard. I also have three long driveways to keep clear this winter. I am thinking about putting a rear blade on for ballest and the ability to push snow both directions.They should deliver the tractor in about a week. They need to get a bucket in and change the tires.This will be my fourth Kubota. I started with a BX2350, then a B2920, and then the L3700. So far they have all been great machines.

your stepping up in hp nicely.enjoy your new tractor.

I hope you enjoy your new tractor as much as I do mine. So far, 35 hours, it has been darn near purrfect. The effective use of power is truly amazing. The only possible issue is its noise. It is improving with use, however, if you are going to be using it at higher RPM's I suggest earplugs.

you just cant beat the hummm of the MX5100 when she is running at 1500 to 2000rpms.

Agreed!! About 1600 under load is great.

Congratulations, the MX5100 is a really nice tractor; don't forget to post the pictures.

Congratulations!

When I called Kubota a while back with a few tech questions, the MX5100 was the tractor the gentleman recommended. He was very high on it!

Love to see pics when it arrives.

Sorry guys I'm not big on pictures. Besides, if I took pics I wouldn't have a clue about how to post them. I can tell you this, it's big, orange, and hopefully one bad a## machine. You are scaring me a little about this noise thing. I seriously doubt I will be running it under 2700 rpm's much. Although I won't be using high range much. I do have a slight concern about the light rear end thing. I will run it for awhile and see how things go. If necessary I can always load the tires.

If you will load the tires, and put about 1000 lbs on the 3pt or some less in the form of an implement that sticks way out, like a rotary cutter, then you wont just think it is a beast you will thank it is a MajorTank! You must have ballast to effectively make use of all that power and lift ability. The difference when I loaded my rear tires, and put 750 lbs in the form of a close fitting ballast barrel on the back of my little L3400HST the difference was night and day, and I am not kidding!

We put wheel weights on or fluid in all the tractors we use with a FEL and still use counter weight on the 3PH.

I have yet to own a quit tractor, so any loud noise from the 5100 is not unusual. I now pretty much use all cab tractors.
