Looking at a 5085M, your opinion please

[Caledon Hills]

Hey Guys,

I've had my 5M for about a year now and the only problem I've had is a faulty light switch that caused my radio to go off and on with my flashers.:laughing: Seriously though, I really love this machine.

I own a 5085M and the 16/16 POWR Reverser and it doesn't work as I expected even when i shift with the clutch it is very choppy

Hey Edward,

I was wondering what you meant by "choppy". Did you mean using the reverser lever the directional change is choppy?

 

[Edward. S]

Like when i shift from D1 to D4 when transporting it revs down quite a bit to like 600-700 rpms.

 

[Edward. S]

Not very choppy when going Forward to reverse but it can sometimes be..

Well, boys and girls, I get the new 5085M tomorrow. :drool:

It's going straight to the hay field. Helping a buddy put up 34 acres of grass hay. (4'x5' rolls)

Like I said earlier, I'll let ya'll know how it turns out.

I put 7 hours on the new 5085M raking hay.

I'm really going to enjoy this tractor. :thumbsup:

7 Hours!?!?!?! in one day? I put 250 hours in 5 months

:laughing: Yep, I guess I'm hooked. Put in another 12 hours on it Saturday, pulling a 10' hog. Going to get back on it in just a few minutes.

Dang, thats a lot what transmission you got on yours i got the 16 16 PRT.

I think you made a great choice for your usage. I have it's baby cousin, the 5045D. These are heavy, tough tractors with a sure 'nuf wet sleeve industrial engine. It will be a great hay baling tractor.

I'm really envious of that cab.

Enjoy!
