Nice job, looks like you did well. Who is the dealer you went with? I am going to the farm expo in Vermillion,SD today, the wife wont let me go alone, she is afraid I will bring home a new tractor.:laughing:

I went with Schunemans out of Garretson, S.D., just northeast of Sioux Falls. Have fun at the Farm Expo, lots of toys there to tickle your fancy!

I said for years that when I turned 60 I was going to buy a new Harley Davidson. I didn't care how much in debt I was, I was going to have one. Well I did make it to 60. I bought a new Massey Freguson with a cab and heat instead. I do think it was a better choice. I am happy.

Congrats on your new tractor! Nothing like a good, hard look at the calendar to get oneself "motivated"!

Thanks AKfish, I have to admit I've enjoyed your many posts as I've researched the tractor I need. I would have LOVED an M series, and the dealer I bought the 5093e from had a 5075m with 200 hrs and an H260 loader on it for 5k more than the 5093e but I decided I wanted HP for my extra $$ over the extra amenities of the 5075m. Time will tell if I made the right decision but for now I'm stoked.
