Ordered a 5609 today

[tjkadar]

Put $3,000 down on a new 5609 today. Orders placed with the factory in October. It'll take a few months to build the tractor and get to it the States. Probably looking at a January delivery date.

Tractor specs:

MF5609 - MFWD, Cab
Dyna 4 transmission with autodrive
MF941 Loader with a 83" 210HD bucket and skid steer type QA
3rd function kit
3 MSVs
26 g/m hydraulic system (combined flow)
Automatic stabilizers (3-point hitch)
Air ride seat
Instructors seat
Radio
Rear: 18.4R30 R1 (Michelin)
Front: 13.6R24 R1 (Michelin)

Don't think I'm forgetting anything... Received a 32% discount going through the Equine Savings Program. By the time I sell/trade my current tractor, should only need to finance $28,000 to $32,000. I had orange (great, trouble free tractors), currently have green (nice tractor, had some problems, dealer support and parts prices blow), and am now going red. Considering our first tractor was a 1950's vintage Harry Ferguson, its only appropriate we are back to red.

Field service rep and dealer have done well to date. Lets hope that continues after the sell.
