He covers his reason for upsizing from 60hp, the deluxe cab features, the second-function loader option, a transmission sensor warranty repair, and his genuine complaint that Kubota offers no rear three-point controls. Useful for buyers weighing cab comfort and real-world fit on a mixed-use property, though it's a casual walkround rather than a deep spec or performance breakdown.
An owner-operator sharing first impressions from his own hay and livestock farm, with repeated positive mentions of his dealer, Messick's, which introduces some promotional lean.
He wanted to run a disc bine to cut hay faster, and his buddies told him he needed at least 80 horsepower to run one, so he upsized to the M5-111.
No. Sean's main complaint is that Kubota does not offer rear three-point controls on the M5-111, unlike John Deere, Massey, and other brands in this size.
He got an error code in sixth gear high after a tree branch broke a sensor off the transmission. Messick's drove two hours to his house and fixed it under warranty.
Sean states the loader is massive and has right around 7,000 pounds in lift capacity.
