Kubota MX5000 vs M4900

[lala]

Hi: I posted a similar message but no replies. I changed the heading. I am trying to get a comparison from owners who may own either, as to the performance, satisfaction, type of usage, etc. I need to decide which will best fit my needs.
Thanks, LaLa

Here is the link to another discussion on the MX5000 vs M4900

I was one of the posters on Slowzuki's link. That was 14 months ago and I still LOVE the M4900. I don't have any personal experience with the MX5000. I still don't think you'd go wrong with either one.

I also have been looking at both m4900 and mx 5000 the price difference is about $3500 to $4000 I do like the shuttle shift on left side of seat on mx 5000 just foward or back ,on m4900 it is next to steering wheel also foward and back but you have to lift up on handle to move

I have had an Mx5000f for about two years. The difference between the Mx and the 4900 is that the 4900 is and AG tractor. Heavier frame and the transmission is different. My shuttle shift is on the left. The 4900 is a GST I think. It shifts from a lever under the steering wheel. The 4900 can also be reprogrammed to 53hp. Or so I was told by the owner who was told by a tech at his dealer. I like my Mx I am clearing and maintaining 50 acres with it.. If I am not mistaken they both have the same engine or at least the same size block. I do wish I had gotten the 4wd at times using the loader. Get a toothbar if you get a loader with it. As far as power it has plenty for what I do. I bush hog up to 3-4 in. saplings with it.
