I bought a Ford Diesel. Two firsts for me. Watching for a 3 pt finish mower and a fire wood trailer. My 54 Int got a little tired, again.

Nice work. Post how you like the m5 111. My main baling tractor is a m9540 the model before the 9960, kubotas are tough for sure

Purchased this 1990 CaseIH 885XL this winter at a decent price. First cabbed tractor I owned after borrowing one for several years from a large farm friend. Sure is nice clearing snow to get in the woods to pull firewood. Now I need to do some trail maintenance to remove any branches at cab height. Not sure if I am fully sold on it. Would like a power reverser and bucket mount is pin type so forks to load logs are a chore to switch over to. I feel I can get my money and maybe even a little more out of it if decide to sell. Dave

Forever in debt to my Father who introduced me to trapping. May I be half the man he was.

Traded in the m9960 and bought the new and improved m5-111. Wasn't gonna do it at first, but the more I thought about it, I used a tractor for almost 8 years that I didn't put anything down on it, financed at 0 percent interest and got all my money back. Why not do the same thing again and have a new tractor. Only problem I ever had with the old one was the hose clamps wanted to come loose on them. Don't think much of the factory clamps they use. If your biggest problem is loose hose clamps I think you've got the right tractor!

I looked at the used market when I needed a compact tractor and went with a new one after seeing when used ones are going for.

I looked at the used market when I needed a compact tractor and went with a new one after seeing when used ones are going for. This is where I'm at. With zero % and the way tractors hold their value it's about the only logical option if your wanting anything newer. Mine is a 1965 ih 424 and I have pictures of my great grandfather on it. I could use something newer with front wheel assest and quick attach loader. My problem is I really need 2. One 60-80 horse for the farm and a smaller one to hall around for moving logs when I do tree work.

I looked at the used market when I needed a compact tractor and went with a new one after seeing when used ones are going for. Have you paraded thru a gun show or pawn shop lately? Slightly used and even well used condition are not just being priced as new but nobody is haggling and they are bringin new prices. It is unbelievable.
