Added updated review of my NS5310

Had a friends grind them down. Not building there anymore so leaving the rest.

50 HOUR UPDATE: I am finally closing in on 50 hours. I have been using this tractor non stop for the past 2 weeks with land clearing and home building prep. I have been using a 6 foot bush hog, a 6 foot box blade, a 20 disc harrow and a grapple for most of the work. The grapple is a heavy duty...

Small review in another thread lol

2 Year - 90 Hour Update Our building plans abruptly stopped after we found a gorgeous 14 acre farm with a house already on it, a barn, pastures and a pond. So, all of the land clearing this tractor did was a waste of time at our other property but, it was fun. I am approaching 2 years in to...

I was in the same boat as you not long ago. I came here and read a lot of information. Sometimes, information overload. @airbiscuit shared a thread I had posted to help anyone who may be looking into their first tractor. I can't recommend enough to set a budget first. Set it. Work within that...

Just FYI; the NS series does indeed have a cup holder.

Thank you for the thumbs up on that thread. I really need to proof read better haha

Thank you!

Glad to hear they’re getting them pushed out! Thank you for the reminder! I’ll add it now

Just bought an NS5310 and they have more tractors in stock, including the new NS series. They’ll go quick. Reedy Creek Equipment in Lexington, NC. Matt is great and can get you hooked up. I don’t work for them; I don’t get anything for sending you there. They’ve got tractors and they’re good...

Old thread but what the hay; might as well chime in. Having spent the better part of my adult life troubleshooting and repairing heavy duty equipment, industrial engines and generators; I would like to point out that most of the failures I have been a part of repairing have been due to neglect...

I suppose I got lucky. About the same time I decided on the new NS Model; my dealer emailed and said he just received a shipment. Its being assembled now and Ill take delivery of my NS5310 soon.

Most of my communication with the dealer before my purchase was email. In fact; I used the dealers generic email on their website and it was the owner who reached out to me less than 24 hours later and answered every single one of my many questions. We exchanged at least 7 emails before finally...

Thanks! I’m looking forward to it

I will definitely put one on here. I'm relived the whole finding a tractor process is done.

I'm in North Carolina. I just bought the NS5310 about 5 minutes ago on the phone! I am so happy to be finally nearing the end of the purchase stage. What a damn headache.

Considering it took me months to even land on a manufacturer; I suppose it is. I think I am going to go ahead and roll with the 5310. The differences, aren't as stark as I thought. This makes me excited. I was a little deflated to see that they didn't include a cup holder in the new NS. But...

I got to see some yesterday. Nice.

I hate this. So much. One minute mind is made up, the next it's not. So; doctors...... let me introduce you to my dilemma: Went to dealer who got a shipment of NS models. However; not an NS6010. NS5310. So; the attachment with two items in yellow are the only differences. I could use the...

Tractor Heads; I believe I have finally hit the point in which the NS6010 is the one that’s going to make it final. To those who suggested I take a longer look; I’m glad I did. Closing in on a decision. Just taking my time. Thanks to all! I’ll be glad when this decision making is over and My...

Thank you for that!

3F183T or 3H-TH4C? that the two engine choices I have. Can’t find much on either one. Frustrating.

This is frustrating. Both DK and NX series are nice units. I just cant figure out if all the razzle dazzle push button upgrades are worth it in the long run. It's not so much the switches as it is electronic operation or linkage/mechanical. Ugh. Flip a coin at this point I suppose haha

See my post in Kioti sub. May help.

Your tasks are going to change over time. The last thing you need to do is finance a tractor based on today's needs. Tomorrow it won't handle it and you'll be looking at needing another or contracting the task out. I am also seeking a tractor. My first tractor purchase. Hours of YouTube videos...

For those of you reading these threads and freaking out over which brand is best in your quest for your first tractor: Remember... Brand allegiance is only one bad day away from dissolving. A dealer works for a manufacturer. Dealers are not the final say in what they do on behalf of the...

As long as it's the same length as the bucket; should be ok. I suppose depends on whether or not you're going to bolt on or weld on. Drilling holes in the bucket or welding on the steel may impact the the bucket/warranty etc. The only sure way to know is to go back to the dealer and tell them...

I know resolved and old news but; food for thought for those who may find themselves bitten by the bug of "dang it": We will never find a manufacturer who doesn't have problems at some point. Many parts that go into machines are outsourced to suppliers who then ship the orders to the...

May help

Thank you; I deliberated a bit before I posted but figured it could help ease the mind of some still searching. Live and learn, I suppose. Mistakes are to be made not repeated. I've been there done that on that humbling "bad purchase". I have found two kinds of dealers for basically anything...

First off; appreciate all of the info I was able to get from the threads here. It can be an overwhelming experience for someone about to buy their first tractor. Is it procrastination when you put off a purchase because you want to get all possible information to make a good decision? Someone...
