MX5100 or MX4700?

Which would you choose? Same tractor. 5100 has turbo and 50 hp and the 4700 non turbo and 46 hp. Telescoping 3 point links on the 5100 and non telescoping on the 4700. 4700 $1k cheaper. Thanks for the input. Jim

The telescoping links are nice and more power is hardly ever a bad thing. The extra cost hurts, but if you do the 0% 60 month financing it's less than $17 a month more.

Go for the 5100, the telescoping arms are nice to have, and it also has the stabilizer bars in stead of chains which i think is a nice feature.
I've only seen 2 4700 on dealer lots but they all seem to have a couple of the 5100.
Good luck

I recently purchased a MX5100 over the 4700. For the reasons stated above.
The dealer I puchased from said the 5100 was easily outselling the 4700.
I'm happy with the tractor so far, no problems.
