Not to hijack, but the 5220r (55 hp, shuttle shift) is a awesome tractor! Mowing 6 ft grass with a 78 flail mower, the tractor lost about 50 rpms. The power and grunt are awesome. It needs to have the rear tires loaded, and I would suggest AG tires over the R4 industrial options. I have R4 and wish I had the grip of the AG options.
Get a canopy to keep you out of the sun. I am pleased.
Actually looking to get a Cab on either one we choose, but its looking more like the 5220CH. I could go either way with the Hydrostatic or Shuttle Shift and want to test out both. I have a sawmill, so about half the time will be used loading logs, and lifting lumber. From what I've read and heard, tire fill is a must, so will plan on having that. I'm awaiting my GATE card to arrive in the mail so it makes the purchase tax free. Hope to get out to the dealership next week to test drive some.
