Congrats MechanicalGuy on your decision for the MX5200 you will enjoy it - canopy too no cab on the MX5200 correct?

Yeah a cheap umbrella canopy if I can find something. It'll have to come off often and there are low limbs everywhere.

just carry an umbrella around and fold it up when you go under a tree ;-) i used to ride my horse like that when i took my daughter to horse shows, id just sit on my horse with my umbrella in the sun - some people complained because their horses were not used to umbrellas and it make them jumpy you should be good with your kubota tho

Welp, just bought an mx5200 with grapple loader bucket and medium duty bush hog. It's getting it's third function rear remote and tires widened and filled. I'll start a thread about it at a later date with pictures.

I'm super excited about it, my wife is pissed because she said we could've just borrowed her dad's old broken 50hp cub cadet. It only needed a clutch and something else and something else.

I told her well now we have our own tractor that isn't broken and if her dad needs to borrow it, he can! But we have a new one!

She asked me how much did you spend, and I gave her the democrat answer for now.. I said "the tractor cost $24k". Lol. I wonder how long until the whole truth gets told.

Lol that’s funny because I had a talk with my wife yesterday about getting the MX5200. She wants me to get an L2501 because she likes the low 20s price point with some attachments.

I told her yesterday that we need bigger for everything we need to do. I was like it’s settled, we are getting an MX5200. She was like how much is that? I said 30k with a loader, obviously not counting the 3rd function and grapple I “need”, rear remotes, bush hog, and box blade. Probably won’t be happy that I don’t think we can tow it with the 1/2 ton we just bought too.

I should have listened to my gut instead of my wife.

Well, almost a year later and she still thinks I have a $25k tractor. Lol.
