New MX5100 on the way!

I spoke with my dealer today. The QA bucket came in today and the R1 tires have been installed. I'm going to stop by and take care of the paperwork in the morning. The MX5100 should be delivered in the afternoon.

I love my mx5100 almost 40 hours..

great tractor, no nonsense tough technology. 2nd on the idea of ballast since most K tractors are a bit light on their feet. had a mx5000 while back. in terms of higher rpm during 1st 500 hr break in period, i would err to the lower range up to 2200 with occasional higher rps loads. varied workloads & rpm are good in this period, avoiding lots of short cold runs. enjoy the honeymoon!!!

Much to my disappointment the tractor was not ready. So I have to do the long weekend thing without the new toy. I was pleasently surprised to learn I was getting the HD round back bucket. Not sure about the bolt on cutting edge. I would think those bolts will take a beating. They didn't have the R1 tires on yet but had the rear remote mounted, Overall, I like what I see.

How has the new tractor been working out so far?

Good luck with new machine bud!! I am pumped as well, I just traded in my l4400, and getting my mx5100 delivered tomorrow, cant wait. Only had the 4400 for about 5 months, then fell in love with the mx my dealer had on his lot, he cut me a great deal and that was it.

I think you will be pleased with the performance of the 5100. The trade off for the amenities of the L series didn't really bother me, the 5100 is quite comfortable and a real performer. What all are you getting with/on your 5100?

Loaded rear tires, 84in quick att loader, extra rear remote, grill guard, and believe that was it. Ill post some pics soon.

I see you had a 3700 before you jumped to the 5100 - that is what I am currently in the process of doing. I have the 5100 ordered and am waiting on it. I was wondering what did you notice between the two and are you glad you got rid of the 3700. I really like my 3700 except it just does not have the lift I need and the 3pt jumpiness is a pain.

I added the loader with QA bucket, 1 rear remote, draft control and R-1 tires.
