New MX for 2014

[dbaer78]

Just saw on kubotas sight they're bringing out the new MX series for 2014. I'm anxious to see if there are any improvements or if they're just going to be more expensive because of emissions. I can handle more complicated if I get more performance in return. Of course I don't know why I'm worried my 2012 5100 only has 130 hrs on it so it should last a few more decades. Also saw they're bringing out B50series rops tractors and new standard l's. Always fun waiting on new equipment to debut....

I am in the same boat as you. I expect to run my MX5100 until about 2025 (knock on wood), but I still like a peek at what's new.

I hope I can find a 2013 pre tier Tractor MX. I just don't have the $ right now

Yeah I'm glad I bought when I did. I have faith even with added complexity kubota will have a solid machine. It's just hard to stomach so much added cost if your not seeing serious improvement in the machine other than economy and emissions. The l60 serious are sharp though. If I wee lookin for a cut with a cab an l6060 would be my first choice. Love the new cab design.

You guys with MX5100s don't need to worry about upgrading. You have a very nice tractor for years to come.

There is no way any tractor is 'improved' when its choked down with emissions nonsense. That is why I bought my new Kubota recently, I do NOT want to pay for and have all that junk encumbering an otherwise good powerplant.

You share the same opinion as many of us on here. I didn't want the emissions nonsense or the bigger price tag. I'm anxious to see the price difference between my MX5100 and the new MX5200.

Couldn't possibly agree more. We bought our MX5100 this year even though we won't really have a use for it for at least another year maybe 2 strictly to avoid all that emissions garbage. If consumers would wake up and stop gobbling up all the garbage the EPA feeds them, noone would buy this junk and they'd be force to do something. Why is it so lost on people that increased fuel economy actually decreases emissions over time? Same with the Prius, LOL @ that farse.

Going off topic, but I had a Prius for 6 years when I was doing a long commute. Loved it and its 50 mpg. But no good in the snow.

LOL yea they get good mileage, even better mileage if you know how to drive them. What I was referring too about the farse was people running out and buying them because they're supposed to be so environmentally friendly, but in reality it's probably one the least enviro friendly cars ever. LOL
