Traction MX 5100 HST

[garrettjdg]

Just traded in my JD 4500 that had 4wd problems for a brand new Kubota MX5100 HST 4wd LA844 loader, HD bucket. Decided to go with the R4s vs the turfs that I had on the Deere. What is everyone's thoughts on the subject, rears will be loaded with beet juice and I also got rear chains, as I traded the brand new chains I just got for the 4500 for the new chains on the 5100. I have a 3pt JD 7ft snowblower (Mckee) that I will be using on the rear as I did on the 4500.

My guess is that you will love this tractor. It does great in the snow with R4s. The only things I do not like about it are 1) The position of the parking brake is not very obvious. Be careful that you do not operate with the brake on, as I must admit that i have done several times. (ouch) 2) The fuel gauge is inaccurate. Luckily my is off on the safe side, when it says 1/4 there is nearly 1/2 remaining. Everything else meets or beats my expectations for a utility tractor. And the 844 loader will not disappoint.
