Ok, no one is on the tractor. Who got out and back in after taking the picture?
Those size of tractors are great in the mud. Have enough clearance, big enough tires for traction, and not too heavy.
The more I own the tractor the more I like it. I am not sure something bigger would add any value. A 5105M for our operations would be the perfect tractor I think.
Better than the 5525? A tad more power and the coolers are way easier to clean. When haying in the summer - cleaning those cooler is a must and it is a PITA.

Spring is SOOOO much fun...!!! Overshoe sucking days!
I can remember times when I'd have to walk to the back of the tractor to cut and pull the twine off a big round bale before I'd unroll it for the cows.. be at least 2-3 times a Spring when I'd pull off one or both overshoes and maybe end up with one knee in the muck, too!!
I teeter back and forth between a cabbed 4720 and say; a cabbed 5075M. Don't know enough about the transmission options for the M series and the various pros and cons of each variation.
What do have in your current 5525? What would you do differently with a new 5105M?
Thanks,

Thanks, D. R4's are... well, they're R4's aint' they!?! I've still got my rear chains on my tractor - likely leave it that way until June.
I'd be stuck ALL the time if I didn't!
Wonder if you'd still be OK with the 12x12 runnin' a small square baler - say, a JD348?
