Your dealer is a ******* nut job. Fx110 on a 42hp, I’ll take a guess that he doesn’t have a fx85 in stock. I have a fx90, I ran it on my 40hp bobcat/kioti, it was way too much winch for the tractor. Having owned multiple tractors with multiple winches (fransgard, farmi, igland, norse...

I got the 5200 home, pretty much go through the tractor, front to back, top to bottom, learning how it works etc. overall it’s been well maintained, does have a little rust here and there from loading salt, nothing is too far gone that a little grinding, wire wheel and rust treatment and paint...

Just to follow up. I ended up buying a 96’ Deere 5200, 1500hrs, 12x hydro shuttle trans and a cab. Looking forward to getting it home and playing with it. I’ll need to rig up a 3rd function for the grapples, switch it over to skid steer style quick attach and start the hunt for some tires as...

Thank you for taking the time to reply. Lots of good information and some really good models to look out for, did some digging last night and you are spot on with the models mentioned. 4wd is a must, between snow, mud and all around rough ground I would be lost without it. I really should get on...

I guess I don’t place much value on a dealer relationship. I do most my own mechanical work, along with having 2 good friends who run heavy equipment repair shops. The idea behind this post was part of my “homework”. I definitely don’t want hst for the work I am doing. I have run a 7060 a bunch...

Correct, power shuttle is what I’m am after, hydro shuttle specifically but either will do depending on model.

I hear ya, my intent behind the post was to help broaden the search as there isn’t much locally for sale. Shipping a tractor isn’t cheap but might end up being cheaper considering the availability of 50-80 here in Maine.

Power shuttle is a must! The reason I asked the question is to help narrow my search, locally there isn’t much, the cost of shipping isn’t cheap but opens up way more options. I really like the McCormick x4.2 (lindini) but can’t find any serious reviews.

I had my eye on a newer McCormick x4.2 with low hours, not many reviews on them, made by landini, looked to be very well made, it sold a week or two before I was able to get the money from the sale of my tractor, so I never did test drive it. But honestly it looked like allot of tractor for the...

Trying to make sure I don’t overlook any 50-70 models in my search. Sold my dk35/ct335 and looking for a larger frame tractor, particularly more clearance in the woods and overall more pulling power, but nothing too big. Open station or cab. Must have a hydro style reverser, 4x4 and loader...
