Good feedback. That tractor is kind of - sort of similar to my 5055d.
So far so good with mine - knock on wood.
The engine on mine is turbo'd and the engine is somewhat loud, certainly more so than my fine old MF50. The engine has a nice bark to it when it hits a load too.
Some things that stand out to me is:
- Power steering is very good.
- Tight turn radius - almost pivots about the rear tire contact patch, making lining up the 3 pt hitch to an implement very easy. Same with drawbar too
- Great visibility, except at the corner of the rear fenders, where a clamshell would not block the view as much.
IMHO the number 1 reason to buy one of these tractors is the 2.9L engine. I have seen them used in harsh environments with military generators and they are terrific. Mine has gotten better on fuel economy as I get it broke-in.
