- If you've watched the channel for a while, you know that sometimes I can't leave well enough alone. In this case, I love my Kubota M4D-071 but I'm feeling like trying something new. Something bigger. I've currently looking at the John Deere 5100E and the Kubota M5-111. For reasons I'll explain in the video, the Kubota is winning the race. Not to mention there's a wild edition for sale in Tennessee that I can't help but consider.

The number of tractors you need has been mathematically computed and pre justified for you. N+1=the correct answer. N being the number of tractors you own…this is how I explain things to my wife, it’s all science! 😅
🤣🤣🤣I’m takin that!!!😂😂😂
That same formula also works for guitars, motorcycles, dogs and cigars.
This is great logic.
Absolute fact
Beware of the turnabout-fair-play re: shoes, purses…
I work at a Kubota/New Holland dealer. We install the tracks (many different manufacturers) on both brands. Bye and large these are sold to snowmobile clubs to maintain trails. So lightness is key to keep from destroying the trails.
Be warned… They are EXTREMELY HARD on the front axles if you’re actually working them. We replace several axle housings every year because of damage caused by the increased leverage on the wheel ends. We also have a couple customers that run them in softer fields for hey or corn.
Yeah I would expect high maintenance for sure
i think thats why deeres 8rx has a super heavy front axle compared to the standard r series
Large equipment use tracks for less field compaction, better for the soil and growing. I’d be extremely interested to see a series on the black kubota. Sound like you’d be useing it for gardening type applications! Those tracks are mattracks I’m sure you can get the load rating from them very easily.
Dont see these in a field with a LOADER. The front axle, and NO suspension = Major wear
I've owned and farmed with a Kubota M100 for over 10 years. It's a good, but light tractor. Most days I regret that i didn't buy the comparable JD or New Holland 100 to 120 horse power tractor. The Kubota's are built light in all aspects of the manufacturing and both small and big things have been breaking or being repaired. For example the main shifter between ranges broke two winters ago, it was all plastic. The door handles are now breaking and getting those replaced is miserable. The big issue is the lighter built hydraulic hoses and connections. The main section distributor connector for the front end loader started leaking the second year. We needed to go through the entire system with new seals and such at about 5 years. I have an older New Holland 120 horse tractor that I haven't had to do anything to do with they hydraulics.
However, if your main purpose is all about using a front end loader you shouldn't be buying one of these tractors to do the work. And back to the real point, I don't think this size of tractor is going to increase your web traffic.
I’ve used tractors with Mattracks on them before and absolutely loved it! The traction is great, easy on turf and soft ground, smoother ride, and more stable. Looking at the picture, those are probably the 6k series, maybe the 5k series. The 6k series are good for 14,250 lbs GVW and the 5k are good for 12,750 GVW. The M5-111 weighs just over 7,000 lbs and the loader is rated for 4,144 lbs. The GVW is probably under the 5k series suggested max GVW. From what I was told, GVW for the tracks does not include the weight of the tires. The tracked tractors I used had no issues with ballast because the rear tracks were so heavy. The front track handled the weight just fine.
The biggest con is the cost. They can also be hard on turf sometimes IF making very sharp turns and too low travel speed. The con is also a pro and that is the weight. I don’t remember the weight but the tracks were a touch heavier than beat juice filled tires. Another negative compared to tires is keeping the tracks clean and keeping debris out of them during use. Of course this depends on operating environment.
I maybe put ten hours total on an L6060 and 5090 (I think that was the model) Deere. Both had loaders. It was spring time in snow country so there was ice, wet & dry snow, mud, and soft squishy lawns. The only issue with traction was the L6060 did not have studs and struggled a little on wet ice.
This was years ago, L6060 was just on the market, so I’m not sure if much has changed with Mattracks as far as weight goes and there might be details I mixed up. I was thoroughly impressed with the tracks and would have them now if the cost was like buying another tractor.
I think it's worth considering not just what you plan do WITH the tractor, but also what you plan to do TO the tractor. If you'll be adding Summit's multiplier kit, then the number of rear remotes doesn't matter so much.
Also, since you use the 3 point most, I think that's a pretty good reason to go with the higher capacity in the Kubota.
if your using 3 point implements, when you get above so many ponies a lot of that equipment goes to the drawbar on a hammerstrap
Not here to talk you off, here to talk you on! That thing is SICK!!!!!
Get the new Kioti HX while you’re at it! That things a beast
I enjoy seeing what machines you use how there used. What ever you get would be fun to watch and see you use them and set them up what attachments you use
I would choose that tracked monster. In previous videos you mentioned wet areas. The kower ground pressure will be to your benefit. The larger base should allow for greater kifting capacity. As for the balast, I would consult Rim Guard. The tracks will likely lower your ground speed, but I wouldn't think that would be a huge concern. My grandpa ran bulldozers for about 40 years and we used to say one day they will be on everything. Sadly, he is not here to see it. But he is smiling from ear to ear. ❤
Just wanted to give a little bit of insight on the john deere motors vs kubota. I work for a john deere dealer but ended up buying a new kubota m7060 due to lifting capabilities and engine reliability. I've seen a ton of issues with egr cooler failures on the deere 4.5 unfortunately. They leak coolant into the egr system and into the motor. Also a little bit smaller motor is becoming more of a trend in the deere excavators. The reason is a smaller engine works harder and keeps the emission systems running hotter to keep clean so less egr coolers plugging and sticking egr valves. On a side note I wouldn't get the tracked kubota though. I use my m7060 for logging only and it's worked great without tracks even in soft ground. Thanks for the videos.
Sounds like a Great idea for a GWT Road Trip!
Definitely Tracks! Wow Factor - Picture definitely caught my attention. But do the comparison of a tracked skid steer vs a rubber tire skid steer - tracked all the way, more versatile as far as traction and ground pressure. Track assemblies definitely should weigh more than a tire filled with fluid! A lot of farmers have gone to tracked machines due to ground pressures and were very surprised at how well they performed (caseIH example) a little more maintenance but well worth the trade off. But once again this video views will tell the tale of if it will benefit your on line business (views and clicks)…. Will be watching to see.
Better you than me. I have no need for something that big. Will make some cool videos for us to watch!
Bought the JD 5075E cab version for our airport about 5 years ago. Purchased with a 10' plow blade, HLA snow pusher with HDPW blades from Good Works tractor ❤ and 85" rear mounted Erskin snowblower and a 15' bat wing mower. Has over 1000 hrs on it plowing a 3,500' long runway, snow blowing the windrows back beyond the runway lights and mowing approximately 65 acres. Love the machine! Not a big fan of John Deere lately though as the value for what you pay for doesnt seem there. They seem to be riding on their name instead of actual quality. Just purchased a Mahindra with cab for my parents rather than a JD.
Worked on alot of diesel engines, mostly cat, but you are correct, the kubota smaller displaced engine is more efficient, it almost sounds like it's a turbo diesel. That difference in displacement makes up a large portion of the 500lb overall weight difference.
I instantly recognized that tractor! I am from where they are selling it. My brother knows some of the guys that work there and I forgot the story behind it. I will have to ask him about it again.
Just so you know... The Kubota M5 series can add a creeper option (as can the M4 series). The Deere 5E series do not offer a creeper option at all, but the 5M series does. Although the creeper won't be used a lot, it does give you a geared transmission pseudo equivalent to the creeping ability of a hydro.
I think in your position it’s great idea to move through different machines. Think about, we all have something different yet you sell all the attachments we would ever need regardless of brand. For me, go for it.
Totally agree!
Tractors have wheels snowmobile’s have tracks. Get yourself a snowmobile with a loader!
The internet is great for spending someone else’s money. That kubota does look cool. You’d be able to answer all the questions of weight, lifting, operating, functioning. Like you said it will add content
From what I’ve been told the tracks are best for the snow removal. I know with skid steers the track one will out push tires any day of the week. My Cat with snow pusher will move a lot of snow for sure. Out west big farms will at times use tracked tractors when the fields are wet/soft. My cousin in Ohio has one for that reason.
I don't want to sound negative here because I think that black Kubota looks sick but tracks are actually THE WORST for pushing snow on heavy equipment. These types of tracks are designed for a vehicle like an SUV or truck to traverse snowy roads that are uncleared. They work ok in soft snow (untracked) and without pushing a load like a plow or snow pusher but they are very slippery on ice and packed snow. As bad as tires without chains or worse for sure. Add an incline and you are completely SCREWED with tracks. you can get studs for tracks but they really only help some, still not great. I know this probably doesn't sound right because you see snow groomers on the ski slopes and snowmobiles but they have a very different and wider track. Also, residential driveways get packed down, freeze/thaw cycles create a layer of ice and become very slippery. Trust me, we have tried all these variants on skid steers at multiple residences in the mountains of Wyoming near Jackson Hole. Everyone always assumes tracks are the best for snow removal but they really aren't. THE best setup for winter pushing snow is wheels/tires with chains - absolutely and with no question. Wheeled machine with chains and a snowblower is even better. Tracks are all around nice and if your surface is asphalt or a melted surface it will be fine but not with packed or frozen smooth snow and ice. Tracks are best more so in wet soil conditions and to minimize tearing up the surface like a lawn, they just don't cut it for snow removal in most winter circumstances.
Nice comets sweatshirt…will be there today for a cross country race.
I always love watching your videos so much new stuff out there keep up the great videos😊👍🏻💃I have always been a John Deere girl
Keep the one you have and get that sweet machine! It’s super cool!
Love the murdered out kubota. I am a die hard Deere guy but that black Kubota is pretty darn cool.
Not really a track fan, but I am curious if it comes with stock tires and rims as well, or what it takes to swap it back over to tires.
I recently traded both my 5Ms (one was the old barn find 5115M I had bought from you) off on a pair 5125Rs.
One is a new 2022 the other was a low hour 2018. Love these 5R, by far the nicest tractors I have ever owned or even operated.
The hydraulics are incredible on the 5Rs. Think skid steer like hydraulics, command quad transmissions.
Note 2022 was the last year for 5Rs. Nothing I have seen on the market in this class machine comes even close to a high option 5R.
Yeah full set of wheels and tires included
Even though I will never be in the market for a tractor of that size, it IS extremely good-looking, LOL
Enjoyed listening to your thought process, it explains how you have become such a successful businessman! The black tracked Kubota is good for one thing, light loads on wet ground. It would look great sitting in front of the business with a bucket full of flowers as a lawn ornament! 😂
Ok I’m making a second comment after listening to what you had to say about the kubota. Here’s what I think. I can understand all the reasons it isn’t necessary but I’ll tell you right now, that’s a million view video if you get that thing, potentially. I wouldn’t worry about making your money back on it so long as you really work on marketing it and make the videos are A1. Secondly I would think those track carriages can handle more than you think. They offer a larger footprint and seem to be designed in the geometric shape they are, just to handle the loader weight you are suggesting. Thirdly, this is a new attachment opportunity for you. Most ag tractors that are two track have the option to add suitcase weights to the track carriage. I bet you could figure out how to do that since you’ll lack the rim guard ballast. If these size tractors start making tracks the norm, then that wouldn’t be a bad solution to figure out.
I quickly realized when tractor shopping that John Deere was consistently more expensive than the competition dispite having lower specs. My YT347 has the same engine as a 4044R, but 6 more PTO HP because the I-HMT is so much more efficient. FEL capabilities are a wash, but the Yanmar has better hydraulics and outlifts the JD by 256 lbs at 2'. It was within a couple hundred $ with rear remotes and 3rd function vs an unoptioned 4044R. I just didn't see the sense in paying more for less capability.
I obviously don't know details but:
1) In general track assemblies are much heavier than wheels, even with heavy cast centers.
2) Your travel speeds will be about 50% (Smaller diameter wheels)
(Note: I am retired from Deere).
Love your videos and think we would be good friends... I was laughing at your JCB segment. Keep up the good work! Oh and the video editing is top notch!
Also, with sub compact as your main target market, why not make your own black out deere, kubota, kioti ? That would make a nice video series start to finish!
A couple of things to think qbiut with the mattrax before purchasing. Tracks are super expensive when replacing, they don’t last long on hard surfaces. Track maintenance is a lot more such as greasing, cleaning, and debris clean out. Turning radius is reduced significantly. They hate asphalt and concrete. Tractor looses top speed and you run in 4wd full time.
Experience..we run 3 tractors with mattrax for snow removal and muddy conditions as well as land clearing for stability and high puncture areas. We love them. But I’ve noticed you don’t like added maintenance and tracks are 100% more maintenance and certainly cost more to maintain
Courtney, this reminds when you had JD E series with rear and front duals. That was one coolest looking tractors
I think the tracks would be awesome, if you don’t like it I’m sure you can sell it and still get some money back out of what you get from the videos. The tracks would be interesting to see how they work in different conditions and so forth
Look into the 2023 and newer John Deere emissions compared to the Kubota. John Deere stopped with regen in 2023. I have a 5067e. 2023 model. Absolutely love it. No regen. Do t get caught up on rear 3 point lift capacity. What will you have that needs 4-5k capacity? I have never seen you sell anything for tractors that weighs that much. Also look at resale of the 2 brand of tractors. I have owned both brands so I am like both. But I love my new John Deere.
The new kioti 120 hp is on my list
I'm guessing if you go with Blackie, you'll be provided with content of its many issues. It does look cool though.
I'd give deutz fahr a look there getting a good foot holed over and they are an excellent tractor where you were looking at them in the agricultural show you visited at the beginning of the year the Chanel farm hand Mike on TH-cam a good place to get American prospective on them and tractor Ben a dealer like your self definitely worth giving them a look😃👍
The Massey Ferguson 5S has a nicer interior, excellent control distribution.
Their dyna transmission is also a plus
Keep the M4 and buy the M5 and try that for awhile. Then if you still want to sell the M4 you can. That way you are making a completely informed decision. You might not like the M5 and not want to keep that. By doing it this way as I said you end up making an informed decision..Personally I hope you keep the M4, I like seeing you operating in Orange.
That tall speed racking behind you in this video is a good reason your new tractor needs an loader… skids are great and lift allot, although they do not lift high. The first set of shelves great, the second it will get it up close but that’s about it.
I am in the market next year for an M5! SO I hope you get one.. The 4 is just not enough HP. Kioti seems like its a solid tractor more flow. But the dealers seem to not really be tractor people. At least in the sizes we are talking here.
I like the rear tracks, but rather have tires on the front.
Black is sweet.
Comes with a full set of wheels and tires too
I think the black tracked tractor looks awesome and is very cool. But if your goal is to demo implements for your potential customers, you should stick to what they have. Or you would have to caveat each video with "at least on this tracked tractor". How many of your customer will have a tractor with tracks? Flip side, it will probably bring new people to watch your videos. But my vote is for a wheeled Kubota M5 series that you can use to showcase the larger tractor implements.
Courtney, resist the temptation on the black one, it will be useless as a tractor... I grew up running Case IH, great product, but resale sucks, as it does on the Kubota, so I now run JD. I am currently selling a 2014 5075e for more than I paid for it new, so please consider that in your decision...
Less talking more buying 😂😂 the tracks are the new video series!!! Even TTWT will be jealous. Tracks are my vote !!
There are more and more, tractors, combines, and grain carts going to tracks every year. The technology is much better now that it was 10 years ago.
Would like to see you get a 3 point boom arm mower for your rig. To mow ditches and trees/brush. Get one with 20' reach. It will fit best on a M6!
wheels + black paint = win.
The only advantage I can see to that being a trac vehicle is that you'll be less likely to get stuck in that mud hole you get stuck in every year😉
I understand your attraction to JD and Kubota. They are the movers!
I can tell by some of your remarks that your not a FARM BOY or a KNUCKLE BUSTER. ( mechanic )
As I'm a little of both; my advise to you is walk away from that SMALL QAUDTRAC! Why do you think it's used and for sale !?
It's a TOY like most of the pickup trucks today!!! You can't lay a eight foot piece of lumber flat in the bed in most pickups today.
Tractors are a bright color for a reason! Visibility!!!
I think a trend of customization that makes a vehicle more dangerous is not a good one.
That murdered out rig pushing snow on a dark grey day during white out (or just a heavy fog) will be much more difficult to see… Not a good idea.
It would be interesting to actually test that lift capacity vs what the specs say.
You're talking agricultural equipment and I am but a gardener (maybe 200 x 200 ft cultivated) with 20 acres to play with shagging firewood and a short paved (circular) driveway to plow, 150 ft of crusher run/gravel path to the sheds, and maybe one acre of lawn. You're on your own for this. But I do know caterpillar tracks don't sink and spread the weight over a large area and so they do not need beet juice. The whole point is lots of contact surface without the extra weight. But don't forget the rear weight box or 100 41# suitcase weights if you want to lift 4,000# at the nose.
The only downside I would think with having tracks on a tractor, would be no ballast/rim guard in the tires as an option. There is a reason no one really does this on tractors. A hybrid solution might be neat. Tires in the rear, tracks in the front. Tires for rim guard and tracks in the front for better traction.
As this tractor stands, I think it's going to be light in the rear end.
Look at case quad track, magnum trac, and cat challenger tractors to name a few. Theres good reasons to get it.
Id want it as a specific use tractor tho, so if thats in the budget, absolutely get it.
I've watched your vids the last couple years because they seemed to give good practical advice for average users looking at or already using various compact tractors, and all the things you can do with them. Keywords there being "practical", "average user", and "compact". That machine just looks like clickbait to me, and since I'm not remotely in the market for a 5-series or larger Ag-tractor, moving in this direction will send me in the opposite direction. But that's just me and my own personal situation. Also, the clickbait worked because it baited me into clicking on this. LOL
I would say to go for it your actually gaining with the tracks and they are much heavier than tires they float better on soft ground having more contact point to the ground than tires also increaing traction im looking for a track kit for a compact kabota (30hp) for doing driveways repairs gravel and dirt work
What is the weight comparison of a track and track assembly compared to a rim guard loaded wheel/tire? It might be enough to offset the difference. The width at least looks like an advantage. Pretty beast looking tractor.
That’s my question too
In my opinion, tracks on a tractor like that is like putting low pro wide tires on a heavy duty pickup. Sure it's different but I don't see it as that beneficial. If you aren't worried about soil compaction then what's the point. Just my opinion.
I would be concerned with the tracks coming off while lifting and turning at the same time.
Have fun.
GOD bless 😊
Both great tractors. I look at the dealer and closet has best service/mechanics
Just FYI you can drive a 5R with command quart transmission without ever touching the clutch. Lift capacity is over 5K, weight is around 12k with loader, hydraulics think skid steer level.
A high optioned 5R with command quad 32 and the command arm is the king of the 5 series or 100-125hp class utility class, also compare turning radius the 5R can’t be be beat.
Hydraulics are 25-28 gpm. Do some research on the 5R, mine have impressed me more then any other machine I have ever seen on the market. It’s how I ended up with two of them.
Was originally only trading one of my 5Ms, but once I had the first 5R I knew I would never want to climb into my other 5M again. Lol So found another 5125R and traded it too.
I looked at tractordata, the 5100R is comparable to the Kubota. E series is a cheaper model. Not comparable to the Kubota in my opinion.
Don’t think so, 5r is way way way higher spec and cost
Down side to the tracks is when it's time to replace them they cost alot
Love my tracks on my side by side. Night and day difference. The only people who don't like tracks are the ones who have never owned/used them.
If you go bigger sell, online if you go bigger. Bigger is always better if you have smaller. I got a Kubota 75 skid had it for a month and traded it for the 97. Lost $10.000 on the trade and had to fork out a additional $30.000 for the upgrade. Never been happier. I now feel like a real man. Got rid of the puberty. Just shake it off.
A tractor without a loader is hard to resell.
Forget the tractor with tracks. It's used mostly for snow trail maintenance or cranberries harvest, which is why its made to be lighter. If you use it to move stuff around with the loader, you'll find yourself in a lot or repairs that are costly. And when you'll get the hitch the sell it because you can't use it as often as you thought, you'll have a hard time selling it because the market for this kind of equipment is limited. Just my 2 cent. Good day!
You’re in business. By now you should know your customers. It’s not what you want it’s what your customers need. While there is a wow factor here, is there really a practical cost for that? I’ve sold large industrial machinery throughout my career and found practicing a little 80/20 theory has never steered me wrong.
I think it is cool as heck and would like one too, but....I would run it before I made any kind of offer. Surely they would let you test with some implements. Good luck.
Unless you are pushing snow, those tracks seem impractical. Honestly I think you're going to regret it, the black paint looks really cool though. If you really want tracks, see if you can find a set for the winter.
I’ve got really wet areas that they might help in.
@@GoodWorksTractors yea I could see that helping, wouldn't a skid steer meet your needs? Not sure what your trying to achieve in muddy fields, my assumption would be brush hogging some muddy spots. Maybe that should have been brought up in the video, I just feel like with that kind of money being spent there's got to be a better purpose built piece of equipment.
@@justin6409 Yeah, I've got a tracksteer. I don't do things just because they are practical though...I'm crazy like that :)
@@GoodWorksTractors lmao, hey sounds like you just love having fun, nothing wrong with that! :)
Talk me off the ledge 😅. I got my foot on your back pushing. You need it. For what not sure. But you need it 🤣🤣🤣
I would think the intent was for use on possible a sod farm to reduce compaction, it doesn’t look practical for farming with the reduced ground clearance. To keep from tearing up the ground you would have to make wide turns all the time.
Courtney. If you’re wanting to upgrade to increase your marketability, how many of your customers could relate to the black Kubota with tracks?
It’s a tractor, I use tractors to showcase attachments
Excellent point. Your attachment videos are the best. My best source for education regarding attachments, as evidenced by my barn full of your products
That looks cool but you dont want skids they tear up the grass
Heck with all of those, i want to see you try out the new kioti hx1151c that thing is a beast, you should also try out the new kioti ctl750 im so impressed. Die hard kioti guy right here and i have owned alot of different tractors and different brands and ill never go back to any other brand.
I think with the tracks it would be a pain in the ass to turn
Very interesting comparisons. Thanks
What biggest selling attachment are sold. Or if you are doing more land to work. Or start snow grooming. Hard to say. Good luck.
Check out the MF 5710. I love my Massey. I have the 1835m.
buy it have fun assuming you can write off any loss regardless... still cash but can not hurt ;-)
The jcb skid steer is probably the mother bord that is broken they are famous for that. The M5 is a cool looking tractor, but probably not very practical for you in what, u do and the ride would be terrible and probably regret buying it for sure. u would want to physically go and drive the tractor, and try some work with it especially with that $50k up charge
Make a movie of you and your brother road trippin down to see this machine (maybe purchase). Bring the gooseneck so you can bring it home. 👍
I'm good with money spent on tracks. I'm not good with money spent on a custom paint job. It's a tool, the stock paint will do just fine !
Yes get it. I'll be watching
Other tractors have Deere smoked to , Kioti and Tym for example
I want you to get it because it's freakin awesome and I want to see a demo.
Can you get certified by John deere and do your own warranty work? It sounds like there is a need. At least the smaller tractors.
Yesss buy that tractor that thing is beautiful!!!!!
IMO keep your M4. We run all older international on our farm and have been interested in newer attachments and how they work on larger older tractors. Id say an older 706-1086 their cheap and provide plenty of HP and weight and are cost effective. I know a lot of people that have them for smaller to mid sized acreages.
Another equipment that will be interesting to see in your channel is a construction backhoe, like a Case 580 or a JD 310, but a side shift machine
Jcb is the only company doing side shift backhoes from what I have looked and seen he will not buy jcb again
@@VroomNBoom Cat and Case both have side shift
@@nrosario ah ok I never new that I only new that jcb did because I was wanting a 1cxt compact backhoe till I seen how the treated goodworkstractors
Id be more likely to watch a video involving that tracked tractor lol
You said there weren't any used Kioti s on the market but a Kioti new is proble in the same price range!
Both engines are convenient for the respective manufacturers to use. Kubota has the V3800T sitting on the shelf. Deere has the 4045 on the shelf ready to go and their next size down is a 3 cylinder with less power. As far as efficiency goes the Deere might be slightly more efficient but probably nothing noticeable. It’s all in what the manufacturer has sitting on the shelf, Kubota likes lighter and smaller engines, Deere likes bigger and heavier. Nothing that special with either one as far as which one is better.
Not a fan of the tier 3 emissions required on the M5. I avoided the M5 for this exact reason. DEF is a PIA as your likely aware. Sure JD will be similar.
@@JimN_AustinTx Yeah it definitely can be! I’m a huge fan of cleaner burning more efficient engines but can’t stand what is currently on the market for clean diesel technology. Remove the after treatment and today’s diesel’s are extremely filthy compared to the last generation mechanical engines.
I have to say, I’m lmao. Because we tractor owners do the same all the time. I’m feeling ya bro. IMO, don’t buy the track tractor.
Get Nokian Hakkapeliittas TRI tires for the best winter traction. Or go with Nokian TRI 2 for good snow and good summer traction.
What is your opinion on Massey Ferguson Tractors and have you ever had the opportunity to use one? They have been around a long time therefore has a decent dealership network also.
I gotta think the turning radius on those tracks is going to be not so good, and they're going to tear up the ground when you do turn. Those seem more like straight line machines over soft ground, like tilling crop fields.
Please consider and check the Massey Ferguson 5S
Check the hood and how they engineered the Dpf system on the side
At least try it
