Hi everybody plaese HELP!!!!,

Well after talking to my JD dealer about a gator He told me I would be a fool to sell my Jd 3120 for a gator so he talked me into a 5303 with a 2072 box blade and 512 loder with single rear selective control valve. Well as of tuesday I was at his house helping his son with polishing his truck rims and he stop and told me that John Deere will not be making any more of the 5003 and 5005 utility tractor and I will have to wait till DEC-14-2007 for the new style tractors I don't even know nor does he know what they look like I need help can anybody find anything about this I can't wait till Dec-14-2007 I have 15 jobs and 40 acres of land to work on.PLEASE HELP!!!!!

Ok, first, it's not clear if you actually bought the 5303 or if you were going to buy one and are disappointed that you might not be able to.

Anyway, who cares? If you want a 5103 or 5105 they are still available at dealers, often selling at good prices because the dealers want to clear them out. I got my 5105 for a good price in February, before I even knew they were about to be discontinued. I've seen a number on the web.

On the other hand, if you're waiting to buy, why not just wait and see? Who knows what amazing things might show up in 6 months. The 5603 certainly makes things look promising.
