Good for you Ben and congratulations to you and Dad! New equipment… tractor, truck, trailer or implement is always exciting to get and use. Can’t wait to see it in action!
Congratulations on getting a new machine! You'll have to give us an in depth tour of how everything works on it for us small tractor or old tractor folks. Can't wait to see u try some implements on it and give comparison to your other machines.
Congrats on the new tractor Ben. I hope it makes your dad more comfortable during haying. And who cares what color it is, I think you and your dad are experienced enough to spot a good machine and a good deal when you see one. I look forward to seeing this hot rod in future videos. Take care.
I was mostly just doing that because of dad. He’s always liked Deere and I’ve been an old school Massey lover for years. This tractor has proven to be a great machine, very happy with it. Thanks
That's ok any tractor is better than no tractor. Congratulations on the new tractor. Can't wait to see the implements you get and use on it and the jobs you do with it. 2 months ago I got a new 5065E 4WD with a cab and loader. So far very happy and a big change for me. I have had 2 kubotas before this.
Congratulations Ben, i think you and your Dad will enjoy and like it, can’t wait to see how it works the guys have the four wheel drives around here and they do great good luck!!!!!!!
@@khtractors I’m glad I really think y’all well be happy I’m glad for Dad Ben it’s a good looking tractor and I think it even look better when get a canopy And a brush guard or bummer on it!!!!!!
Good price point for sure. I’ve run a 5065 4wd with a loader a lot using a Kuhn rotary rake and I liked the gearing for that. Same transmission set up.
Wow! That is surprising, I must say! I have enjoyed my green tractor so far, so hoping you have many years of good service from that one, and hope you have room to squeeze him into a shed!
We’ve had green tractors all my life and of course we’ve had issues like you would with any brand. I own blue, red, green and orange lol and honestly in my opinion deeres are built quite a bit better that kubota but they’re all good. I’ve always wanted one of them 5045s for hay. I remember just a couple years ago a brand new one could be bought for 14999 at least around here
I run older Massey Ferguson tractors and old fords but for the newer tractors I have a Kubota and then just got a new Deere, hard to beat deeres financing and their good tractors, bought a 5090 in spring and have over 300 hours from hay season and have no complaints. Congratulations on the new tractor!
Very nice tractor. You got me thinking now myself. I need a tractor in that size range and seeing this video makes me want to check out that same deal.
Awesome tractor! I just bought a new 5075e last week. Kubota wanted 3k more for the m7060 and only did zero for 48, zero for 84 is much better. The insurance on deere is much cheaper than kubota too. Lift capacity on my 520m loader is 500-600 more than the kubota even in the power position. I got the power revereser which is just like your m6060. Y’all gonna love it, those 3029 engines are incredible. Seen bunch with over 10k hours on tractor house
Congratulations on the new tractor ya'll that's sweet you can't buy hardly any good older tractor for that money. Don't matter what color you have if it's right for ya'll that's all that matters ya'll are the ones payin for it and usin it. That prolly rides smoother and has warranty it'll make ya'll good tractor for year's to come. Thanks for sharing be safe have fun enjoy
You’ll like that tractor. I sold several of those 5E’s when I worked at our local dealer. They were good tractors. Be sure if it needs to “regen”, let it “regen”, and don’t shut it off in the middle of one, and you’ll be fine. Y’all will like it.
@@khtractors I want to start with my "disclaimer" this is from 2010 when I was tractor shopping for my first tractor. At that time the Deere "E' series was actually made in India. They did not offer a shuttle, the range selector and the gear shift were very close to the seat to the point that it was hard for me to get them into gear. The tractor overall to me seemed "cheap" the heaviest part of it was the front axle (the one I was looking at was MFWD) to me it seemed like the tractor was made to combat the "green paint is more expensive" crowd. However, for me the one thing that really made me go for the Kubota was the fact that when I started the Deere I didn't think it was going to keep running. It was a "chili" day about 45 degrees or so. I did expect both tractors to run rough when started because neither had glow plugs. The Deere overall just seemed to be made cheap to get a sell and it was about $2000 less than the Kubota. I'm sure they have made some improvements in the last 12 years and I'll never know how well the Deere would have served me but I am excited to see what your experience will be.
We bought an E series Deere in 09. Its American made. We were looking at all the colors and the Deere was the best deal...$5000 cheaper than the Kubota. Funny how people are, we found the Deere to be more comfortable and user friendly than the Kubota. Anyways, we're happy with the Deere.
@@ryanforbes3021 I like the Deere so far. For me Kubota has a better operators station though. But for the money I don’t think we could have beat this deal. Thanks for watching
@@khtractors You're welcome Ben. BTW...not that you'll get any traffic from my little channel, but I did shout you out in my latest video "023 - I DESTROY My Front Yard!". The video is longer than I usually do, so if you want to skip right to the mention, jump to about the 8:35 mark and let it roll...👍😎 Take care.
You made a good choice. And that’s coming from someone who loves old massey’s. I wouldn’t wanna get rid of my MF 240 but I sure do like my John Deere 5105. It’s been a great tractor and worked hard. There’s no question the newer tractors are more comfortable to drive and in my opinion much safer. My FIL has a Kubota MX 5100 and M7060. They are probably 2 of the most user friendly tractors I’ve ever set on. At the end of the day though I like green and yellow paint and Perkins powered massey’s. If I was buying a new one today it would be green. Congratulations on your new tractor
That is a nice tractor👍!! I like it. I run a John Deere 2020 with a Fella SM240 disc mower and it feels a little light on the front which makes for easier turns. I am like you, if I get on hills or load it on a trailer, I would want some front weights. Have great day and God bless.
I have been wanting to pull the trigger on a new tractor so bad lol ...this video is like a tease Thanks for the content I have just started driving a different bus 2013 bluebird vision with 9000 miles I have really enjoyed this bus it has the 6.7 cummins a really monster Good 👍 looking tractor
Bought mine new in 2020 with the 512 loader. It has never left the farm and has 400hrs to date. It lives in B range and regens about every 100 hours. Starts good below zero. I have 440lbs wheel weight and loaded 14.9s with beat juice. Scales at 7800lbs and pretty lean on fuel. Went from red tractors to green, work on blue for a living.
My 1st choice is John Deere, however I managed to find a Kubota m 6060 4wd with loader & 3 remotes with 238 hours used for $26,000 . Could not pass it up as dealer agreed to add hydraulic top link to make the sale. Feel like I came out good!
Like the new tractor. I had green most of my life but poor dealer service and being untrustworthy made me switch the last time. I went to kubota for the dealer and I'm happy Hope you and your dad will enjoy it for many years . Enjoy your videos
Nice tractor Ben! Hopefully your dad likes it. And if nothing else you will be able to speak on every tractor brand out there now, with experience to back it up. I was surprised you even found a 2wd tractor; they are getting rare.
Meade only had two 2 wheel drives on all there lots. I would like to have gotten a 4 wheel drive but they run another $8-9,000. But really 2 wheel is just fine. I think diversity in brands is good, then you can defend yourself on why you think one brand is the best! Thanks for watching
What a coincidence. I've been studying that tractor on RU-vid for a while. I will be tuning in to get your opinion on this tractor. That is a good price for that size of tractor. I would have to have a loader on it but I don't like JDs propietory quick hitch. I'm sure you could adapt it with a skid steer hitch. A great looking tractor. Hope you and your Dad will be happy with it.
Nice looking tractor Ben. I go for whatever works and is a good value. I'm not big on any particular paint color, and it really depends on the dealer and service you receive after the sale. Around here the best service just happens to be the Kubota dealership.
All our dealerships are kinda crappy, it’s almost like you have to make them sell you something. Hopefully other then buying filters and fluids we won’t need the dealership for along time. Thanks for watching
How's she goin'? Nice looking tractor and it sure sounds like a good deal, so why not get it right!! All tractors are good these days I think, so it more or less comes down to the color. I like red!!! Take care!!!
The Deere’s are well built, They are usually the Highest Price Tractors, The 1025R we had was super comfortable and powerful, Great Deal in my book! Take Care my friend 🚜🪵👍🏼🇺🇸
Larry I certainly hope it proves to be good! Kubota definitely has an edge though on open station tractor designs in this size. I’ll do a comparison one day. Thanks for watching
I have a 5055E, good machine for it's size. Not as comfortable as the 6110R parked beside it. Besides the weights you mentioned, get a guard to protect hood. Rubber mat cut and placed at foot area help cut down vibration. Enjoy your ride
Here’s a link to what I did on the front end New John Deere 5045E already been to the shop! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-oUNQE-rDIdI.html. I would like to get a rubber mat. Thanks for watching
I watched your video again and I want you to know that’s the best improvement you’ve made I just wanted to share that with you I know you like your Kabota‘s but John Deere is right up there I do have to say that I have a 2038R I have all kinds of attachments with that plus a big snowblower I love it just wanted to share it with you
@@khtractors you made an excellent decision you can’t go wrong with that believe me and I enjoy watching your videos can’t wait to see in the video with the new tractor does👍
My 5055E is a 2012. I like the machine. I had some little issues when i first bought it but nothing major. Keep an eye on your coolant hoses. They where known for leaking. Mine kept coming loose and leaking. It took about a year before they finally stopped leaking. The pre-emissions models had some cheap switches and stickers but other than that a solid machine. The newer machines like yours, it appears they beefed up the quality. I have looked at several of them. Overall I would buy another again. i don't blame you for buying new. I personally like the older machines better but it is a no brainer when you look at what you are getting for the money.
Glad to hear your experiences. I’ll keep a check on the coolant hoses. I sure hope it proves to be as good of a tractor as my other ones have. Thanks for watching
It is amazing that lot of manufactures are producing 4wd, when a lot of work does not require 4wd to get the job done. It looks like a good tractor to run around and 95% of all the things done that you need to get done. Just keep the thing in the barn when not in use and it will last a very long time.
Yes the 5E ‘s are priced fairly compared to the rest of the market. I thought about you when we was picking this up, I said to myself at least Brock won’t be disappointed in me 😆! Thanks for watching
Love both of y’all’s channels. Ya the 5 series is awesome, just got a 5075e. The 520m loader is beast, biggest lift of any brand. 3500 to full height at pin. Nearly 1000 more than my old new Holland I traded in. Was thousands cheaper than other brands I priced and best financing and insurance.
I don't think I could ever buy a green tractor. Maybe the two orange one but man Deere doesn't make anything and their attachments are crazy! Great video I'll stay subscribed but very shocked 😅🤣😂
I’m still on the fence about it myself 😂! I think it will be good but in an open station tractor Kubota is definitely designed better for the operator. Thanks for watching
Hahaha!! I love it! I’ve got one brother-in-law that is a Massey man, another brother-in-law is a case man and a third brother-in-law that is a oh whatever the orange one is I guess I’m the black sheep of the family, but I absolutely love my Deere!! Best of luck!
I’ll buy whatever, I’ve got a Kubota, Deere, Massey, and a Farmtrac which is built after an old Ford. I have to say though prior to the 2000’s I wouldn’t have had anything but a Massey. Now I just don’t think they are what they should be. So far the Deere has been great! Thanks
Well Ben you know I'm a blue guy, but I'm sure proud for you, I think your right, now these day's for the better value Kubota & John Deere are the best for the money you'd spend on other smaller tractors & even the used bigger tractors!!!
6:20 "You know of course I would have loved to have had a nice Massey Ferguson or something like that, older one, but for the money, I couldnt buy a used tractor somewhere in that size rannge, with semi-low hours, something under a thousand hours, for what hardly what we got this one for. So stay tuned. we'll see how it does, working in the field and everything." Subscribed, as a person who owns no land and has no budget for a tractor!
Glad you got what you wanted and what you feel is safe for your dad. Curious question. Did the rear tires come loaded from the dealer? If not, are you planning to have them filled?
looks like you made an astute purchase Sir. those little clear foot guards on your green machine are a good safety addition , The syncronised gearbox really works slick I noticed when the young man changed up a gear on the move , seemed to shift as good as a power shift , it also seems very quiet with a nice exhaust note probably due to the turbo or intercooler . Good idea of yours to get a canopy to stop the skin cancer and keep cool . I was able to get front wheel weights for my MF 135 , they keep the centre of gravity lower than suitcase weights on the front end , (but also have water in the front tires ) as I use the MF to pull trailers . For tedding and spraying and seed/fertiliser spreading , personally I like a 750 RPM PTO (plus 540) so can just idle along , does not look like this girl has that which probably would be a deal breaker for my applications , but as a mowing tractor on up to lightly rolling country as not 4WD this looks ideal for you as the 2WD will have a tighter lock and it still has good wet brakes that have a long life to make the turns even sharper . Also the hydraulic pump flow on your prairie cadillac is about 200% more than my 64 HP fiat 640 now that is progress For your application you got the right tractor, with no worries as a good warranty which is all that matters What does the E mean in 5045E? is it electronic engaged PTO option and if so does it engage smooth or sharply ?
I’ll never understand folks that get all wound up over someone else’s tractor brand decision. I’ve never owned a Deere, but I’m sure that is an awesome tractor. Congratulations!
My Son Bought ours 3 years ago.......Made a few changes... Industrial Tires, rear wheel weights, deluxe canopy, 512 loader....It::s basic job is loading 21 bale bundles... inside a 53 ft van trailer......which it does nimbly.....His is the topic of a video concerning the problem we were having with loader/ joystick cables and how we solved it.....
I actually watched your videos on the tractor before deciding. Honestly I think the industrial tires look the best on this tractor, it’s kinda what I would have rather had. I was impressed with how well it unloaded those this bales, didn’t seem light on the rear end at all. Thanks for watching
I like it Ben. However, it doesn't really matter what I think, but I will throw in my two penny's. I don't know why people get so bought in to brands. It just shows how well marketing works. If the price is right and you can get good service and parts who cares. Dad like that turbo. That will make an excellent addition to your stable. The nice thing about your old Massey tractors is no payments. You will need to mow a lot of hay to pay for this sexy new John Deere. Well, I have a firewood pile that needs attention and you know what they say. It doesn't cut, split and stack itself - Enjoy The Journey - cheers.
Oh No!!! You didn't??? 🤪🤪My son in law has a 5045E (4x4 w/loader), he loves it and I've used his some, my biggest gripe with JD is their propitiatory quick attach design for loader implements since all my stuff are skid steer style I would have to buy duplicates or adapters. Don't worry, I will keep following and watching.
I’m glad to here he likes his! I do agree with you on the loader attachments on the Deere’s, just trying to be a pain is all their doing with that! Thanks for your continued support!
I think for your purposes you will like it. Like I said before the only downfall is the low PTO HP. I want to see your report after trying the disc mower. My cousin runs a 7' with his and it is not impressive at all but we normally cut Bahia grass down here which sucks the HP to cut. It is a great looks well built tractor though.
From what I’ve experienced these past couple days the pto hp seems more then the rating. But you have to remember everything I’m running except the Kubota is basically in that similar hp range now. Thanks for watching
Nice! What is the horsepower on it? And does it have two remote set or one? I have been tractor shopping for about six months now and the used market is outrageous.
I was like, "There's a John Deere blocking our view of the best value utility tractor on the market... WAIT... What?" In all fairness, it looks like it will accomplish the tasks you have lined up for it. I'm excited to see it work... will it get a canopy? Oh, boom! You just said it. Nice. I think you need a custom fabricated grill guard to protect that shiny new hood and grill.
The only downfall to a canopy is I’m barely clearing a couple sheds now with the roll bar. A canopy with make it too high, thinking about looking into one of those that’s easily removed. I’ve got front weights to put on it once I make a bracket, that should help guard the grill. Thanks for watching
I’m happy for you for expanding but JD really? Lol cmon ya coulda gone with another Kubota. I’m kiddin I know you bought this one for the price. I’m not a fan of John Deere but for below 20k?! That’s the best tractor ever! I’m proud of you for expanding
