Ordered an M5-091 cab / no loader

[KenBike]

Decide to go with a new M5-091 for mowing my horse pastures. snow blowing, hay making.
Keeping my L6060 for loader work, roto tilling ect. Looked over red, green, and blue tractors but liked the orange the best and getting a good deal. Added air ride seat, 3 remotes, Goodyear radials, buddy seat, radio, defogger, wiper, and three point remote from the rear of the tractor.
Should be ready to pick up in 4 weeks. Saved 11K going with the 091 vs 111.

111 and 091 same physical size too. Wondered the real world price difference.

Should be nice when it comes.

Picked up the tractor Wednesday and drove it 12 miles home.
It maxed out at 18.9mph vs 23.9 as shown in specs. Turns out when it is ordered with the tallest tire size you have to go into the display and enter the size of the tire in inches. Disappointed the factory or the dealer did not take care on their end.
Came down with a ass kicking cold/flu so have not yet put it to work.
So far so good.

Too bad they didn't take care of the speed coefficient. Seems like normal set up to me.

Called my salesman he said service should have set it up. Only took a few minutes but it was a slow ride home.
Rear tires had 25 psi dropped to 21 psi, more squat so should soften the ride. Going to mow this week and see how it does pulling the batwing.

Congrats on the new ride.

Mowed the back 10 Ac field today and it was a easy cruise. Set it on E-PTO and 6th gear low and had no issues. The tractor rides so much smoother than the L6060 or my M7060!
Love how quite the cab is and great visibility.

I'm sure the speed was the same, you just thought you were going slower. I think the coefficient adjustment is just so the display shows the correct speed. unless these fancy new tractors have some kind of speed limiter either way larger tires would have meant you were actually going faster than the display indicated so you wouldn't have hit the limiter you would have maxed the revs on the engine before hitting the electronic speed limiter.

Congrats on the new tractor. How does it compare to the 7060, must be a little heavier and perhaps a longer wheelbase. unless it is the tire size that makes the ride smoother.
