Pulled the trigger on the 5083E

Yea, they ride really nice. They have a very square shoulder on them which gives them much more lug on the ground than bias and other brands of radials. Also, they have a more flexible sidewall to do less soil damage.

I would have loved to had an M series, but I was stretching my budget with the Cab E series.

Nice lookin setup! Your gonna have to change your name now.

 

[JD3520Turbo]

I was thinking about that. I guess I should have picked a better name than that.

Congrats on your new tractor. I'm glad to know that it handles the 15ft mower. That is my next purchase for the ranch.....a lot faster to clip pastures. I kicked around the "E" vs "M" for quite a while. I wasn't sure the lighter weight and lesser horse power tractor would handle a large baler and mower. I might have bought more tractor than I needed, lol.

Did you order the air ride seat?

Nice looking tractor but I think you need a heavier trailer??

I didn't order the airride seat, but after 20 hours of use in two days, I wish I would have. my back was killing me and I could hardly walk. It still hurts and it has been a week. I would like to put the seat back further and I think that would help. I just might end up with a air ride seat before it is said and done. Problem is that they are 600 bucks. ouch.

The trailer is an old cattle trailer that got rolled. It has two 7,000lb axles under it and 3 inch square tubing under it for strength. It is definately enough weight on it that is for sure. I pulled 65 miles each way, and it handled it good.
The fenders have been lowered a good bit, so it looks worse than it really is. When I haul cars on it, I need them lower to get the doors open. I wouldn't want to have the tractor any heavier for this trailer, so I probably won't be adding any weight to the rear end, even though it needs it with a loader.
The 8.1 liter v-8 pulled it no problem. was suprised how well it did.

That is one sweet tractor. I drove a 6410 a couple weeks ago with a deal that picked up 8 bale packages and would stack them on a 30' trailer. I gotta say, it was almost scary to drive that tractor, with the hay bales sticking out atleast 14 feet in front of the tractor, it really made it hard to load them. But i gotta say, it sure was one fun tractor, i cant imagine how fun it would be to use the bucket and move some dirt.
