New MX5100DT

[pondviewfarm]

Just got my '12 MX5100DT with LA844, QA bucket, grill guard, and Rim Guard. For me, the power and size are perfect. I'm ordering a tooth bar tonight and leaning toward the WR Long "TB." The QA really gets my mind going over the possibilities. I've cut my rough cutting time in half, too. It was a long couple of years researching and mulling it over but I'm sure glad I did it. I can tell already that we won't believe we ever got by without it. :thumbsup:

Congratulations on your new tractor, the 5100 is a real value as to performance and price.

Wait until you see the work it will do and how little fuel it uses. Let me tell you in advance that the fuel gauge is not broken.

My MX5100 is the best tractor I have ever owned.

Very nice, congrats!

Same tractor I'm looking hard at. To replace our old L3750.

The L3800DT stays!

Thanks guys. I was a little worried about fuel consumption going in because I saw some gripes about the turbo making it thirsty but I don't see it that way so far.

the gripes you seen about turbos is mostly from people that are scared of them.an think they go bad.but the truth is they rarely if ever go bad.

This is my experience also. I've tracked my fuel consumption and it seems to average about .8 gal per hr.

I'd say that's on par with mine. I figure mine uses a bit more because of the hst.

Agreed, I usually plan on 1 gal per hour.
