Read articles →This is a real owner update at 55 hours, not a dealer walkaround: the farmer covers modifications made since purchase (LED tiger lights, an air-ride seat with custom-drilled mounting holes), gripes about the quick hitch top-link length and frequent DPF regens, then walks through the actual 50-hour oil change with AMS Oil, drain plugs, filter, and quart count. Good for prospective M5-111 buyers wanting owner-level pros, cons, and maintenance detail.
Posted by an owner-operator at Kalevala South Farm documenting hands-on use and upkeep of their own tractor.
About every 15 to 20 hours, but the regen only takes about 10 minutes, much quicker than a Deere that regenerated every 75 hours but took 30 to 45 minutes.
The owner added 11.3 quarts of AMS Oil 10W30 heavy-duty diesel oil with CJ4 rating for the emission system.
The top link is not quite long enough and is nearly maxed out with the flail mower attached, making it a challenge to put on and take off.
Added LED tiger lights front and back for better night visibility, and installed an air ride seat suspension with custom-drilled holes for more legroom.
