Hickory 5A 5A’s if they have. She gotta have pink

 

Im looking hard right now at a JD 5115M to pull a 15 foot batwing. However, it’s still cold out and I find it hard to pull the trigger on it. lol I should though as no doubt things will only get even more expensive as it warms up again.

 

I know your right. When on tractor house you start seeing them disappear over the last month it’s a bit uneasy. I’ve wanted one since I bought my property a few years ago but now that I live here, it’s time to rip the band aid off. I had a cattle farmer on it and just told him I’m not renewing and he has 90 days. No turning back now! I better get on it.

 

I was looking at 5100e’s but after looking at the lifting weights and PTO hp it’s just not enough. Then I was looking at 5100m’s but kinda like you Brad, why not go a hair above where you thought you wanted to be right? So, that’s when I settled on the 5115m with loader. That way I can have a bucket, grapple, whatever on the front but pull the 15 ft batwing no problem in the back and maybe a drill of some sort for grass or anything I’d like to plant. I came across a genius setup called the ferminator, which is a tiller/drill/compactor combo for tractors or behind atv. Looking hard at that. Of course, after reading about using tractors to push snow, I started down that hole and found options that would work good especially with the extra hydraulics on the front, normally used for the grapple.

I don’t mean to derail anything, but I’ve put hours into research and it’s hard to make a decision on this stuff! And more I read the more the price tag goes up!
