Yes...forward rotation. The King Kutter is 6ft. and does an awsome job. They are a little pricey, but I think one should last a good while. They are gear driven.

Yeah, I bought one about 1 1/2 years ago. I love it. Me friend talked me into getting the bigger tires and I have no regrets.

I thought the E was also MFWD only until I saw several 2wd E series tractors. Looks like to me the E designates the hydraulic brakes and the 9x3 transmission.

Here's a quote from deere's website..."While the 5045E and 5055E feature standard mechanical front wheel drive (MFWD), the 5065E and 5075E are available in either 2WD or MFWD configuration." It appears you can only order the 5055E in a MFWD version...

is there a big difference between the 9x3 vs the 8x4 transmissions? Besides one being a shuttle shift and the other being a synchro shift? is the 8x4 "faster" then the 9x3? my friend has a 5105 2wd with the 8x4 transmission and that thing is a freaking speed demon! seems fast in every single gear to me.

I assume that grapple's a Deere(or Frontier?) Is it JDQA or SSQA? And how much did it run you?

Also curious about the grapple. Width, how it is tied to hydraulics, satisfied, anything you would do different?

I have owned both. Like the low range of the 9/3, but liked the shift/range lever locations better on the 8/4 and seemed like picking the gear and shuttling back and forth between fwd and reverse kept speeds closer to the same with the 8/4. With the 9/3 I find myself running "B" range in "2" for loader work and the Reverse in "2" seems a little too "tall" for my preference. Find myself wishing was a touch slower.
