Looking at 5225 with power reverser. Any issues/problems with this set up.

Thanks.

PowerReverser would be my first choice, plus you get a wet clutch :thumbsup:

Just a bit loud due to a 5 cylinder.

Thanks!!!! Appreciate the input. Any concerns with the MFWD that engages electrically rather than mechanically?

I don't own one but I have a buddy who's had one for a few years and he has been happy with it. His only regret was not getting MFWD. I don't know about the electric MFWD switch. I've always been leery of that myself but I can't imagine it would make or break your decision. Good luck!

It is automatic shift on the go MFWD it wont break most of my tractors have this function. Just don't use MFWD on roads or any surface that's hard and smooth.

IIRC defualt for MFWD is engaged if the solinoid fails, so don't worry about not having it when you need it.

Thanks all for your input. Went ahead and put some money down on the machine. Thanks again!!!!

I have had a 5525, MFWD, 12/12 tranny, pwr reverser, for five years now and it has been trouble free for me so far.

Did you buy it used or new? It looks like on their website they have stopped making that model. I have wanted that same tractor for some time. Had one found, but didn't pull the trigger. Wish I would have, because now it is gone.
