Pricing a M7060 Cab 4x4

[PSDStu]

I bought a M7060HDC 12 speed 6 months ago. I use it for feeding/moving hay. No problem lifting two 4x5 bales on loader plus one on 3 point. I use it to run my Krone 283S disc cutter. A little light on power on some steep hills I have, but great on flat land. I just have to downshift on the hills.

Many upgrades on the 12 speed relative to 8 speed makes it the better choice for 1500$ upgrade. Nice features compared to my M9540. The DPF regenerated at 35 hour and 85 hours. I am at 115 hour waiting on third regen.

Only negative so far is the PTO button. It is easy to accidentally turn off with forearm due to location and spring action that turns it off with slightest tap.

I wish my M6060 would regen as little as your M7060 does. I have been doing a regen around every 10-15 hours, and this tractor is used primarily for bush hogging so the RPM's are always pretty high. I also get the "Increase RPM Light" when it regens.... and this is while running around 2300-2400 rpm's bush hogging. I took it to my dealer who reset the regen cycle in the ECU so we will see what happens. My L4060 which has over 600 hours on it has never given me a regen problem, and has never regen'ed as often as my M6060 does. Hopefully the reset will help.

Even better, I was curious as to real work how often the regen would actually occur.

Has anyone run into an issue with lacking power, pulling brush, small trees, mowing, running a round baler? Looking to be sure I could do what I need without having to go bigger, and spend 10,000 more for the M5. Just disappointed that they increased the M5 so much..

There's another guy that just recently bought the m5. I only lack power power when cutting thick really tall Johnson grass (8ft +) I love the machine. I don't pull a baler, I just brush hog

All of my work will be on uneven ground.

Our first cabbed tractor was a 70HP Case which we traded in for an 80HP in one week due to a need for more HP, no haying, just not enough power when roading between farms in the hills or running a bush hog in thick stuff. We now have an M8540.

I'm leaning more and more towards the M5-91. It weighs alot more, loader lifts about 1000 lbs more. Do tractor manufacturers typically offer better incentives for the winter months. Right now they have 2500 off and 0% for up to 84 months. I will, without a doubt, be financing.

The deals right now are the best I've ever seen
