I have a 5095M and like it a lot!!! Nice cab, plenty of power, the power reverser works good when mowing CRP with my bush hog.

I looked at some pictures on the deere site at the 6115m vs a 5115m... From the looks, the interior cab design took a major step backwards for the 6... The 5 looks really nice.
I'm honestly torn between a 5115m and a 6115r... I'm afraid if I get the 6r it will be too big for what I will use it for though... But it's killer nice inside and out. But again, it fits the needs better for the long term possibilities of bailing hay and row cropping, if I decide to.
The place we are mowing now has some clearance issues... Using the 3520 cab and it barley fits in some areas...

Are you sure you aren't talking about a 6d?

The 6D is a Mexican built economy grade tractor.
Thowle is right, I got in a 6R, luxury all the way around, German built.
The 5M series HP is a bit underrated by JD, check out this video of a 5065M pulling a disc mower conditioner.

The German built tractors are actual fully (almost I think) built in Germany and not sourcing parts from everywhere like the 5xxx's. So expect it to last longer than the 5xxx's too!

Wow, Just because its made in Germany does not mean it will last more than a Mexican or American made tractor.
