My first Tractor Just arrived

[bpsooner]

They just delivered my first tractor. I bought the M5040 with FEL. What a sweet tractor. I also got a WOODS BRUSHBULL Rotary cutter (6 ft) with the tractor. My wife already hates it because I have not been off it since it arrived.
I appreciate all the help and input you guys gave me while I was deciding on a tractor. Believe me this forum is so much help.

I look forward to giving updates on its use........ Thanks Again

Pictures are mandatory here Enjoy your new machine. The rule is to buy your second tractor first. You apparently are not messing around!

Is it a cab model? yep pic's are required.

 

[bpsooner]

No Cab but pictures are coming.

Your experience sounds just like mine.

We bought a M4900 with a loader and a medium duty Brushbull in March of 2006. It's been trouble free with the exception of flat front tires. We fixed that with foam. Enjoy the seat time.

Congrats on the new M5040!

I have owned 2 of them and they are a great tractor!

Enjoy it!

Did any of you consider the 6040 (or previous 5700) before purchasing the model you have?

My 5040 was on the lot so thats the one I went with........... if a 5040, 6040, and 7040 Cab had been on the lot it might have been a different choice......but I love my M5040 Cab!

bpsooner: congrat on the M series. think you were the one debating an MX vs the M series a while back. WISE choice of the 5040 over the MX. I cobbled a 127 acre farm with a Massey 35 for 28 yrs (still a good tractor for what it was) then went w/Kubota. What I didn't realize when I purchased an L series tractor was that not all HP is equal. A 50 hp machine in the 5040 is FAR more tractor than the 50 hp in the MX......larger frame, FEL, tires, etc. I could never go back from my current M tractor...... you did well to go M and wishing you well on your wise choice. bb

Thanks Bubba. That is exactly why I went with the M 5040. Larger tractor and a lot more features that the MX-5100 had. My wife wanted me to get a Deere but I liked the M5040 better than the 5055E and had a better price.........
