(I’m still waiting on my M4D to be delivered, not a lot of concrete info on delivery date from the dealer so far…)

(I’m not @mcmxi but…) For me it’s the much nicer cab and related features for relatively not much more money. Messick’s has a video on the differences. The M4D seems like what you’d make after you took the years of learnings from producing M7060’s and decided to make a new version.

I skipped the creep speed kit, hopefully I don’t regret that.

Excellent point — I’ve got the air-ride seat on the quote.

Right now, I'm leaning towards the M4D; the creature comforts (especially being able to safely get my kid into the cab with me!) and bit of extra functionality/power are worth the ~$2000 difference. Haying is out of the question, I appreciate everyone's advice on that. I'll follow up with...

Thanks for the info and thought. That makes a lot of sense on the two-machine approach. I haven’t looked into digging with the FEL, thanks for the thread to pull on. Time to read more!

Hi, I’m looking to purchase my first tractor and could use a sanity check and advice. I have about 50 acres in Central Texas; 40 of which is fairly flat pasture, 10 of which is forested and rolls down to a substantial creek. In addition, I need to maintain 2500ft x 24ft of highway frontage on...
