The MX is a significantly larger framed tractor and heavier than yours. It will more safely handle the full lift capacity of the tractor if properly ballasted.
From what you are describing, the MX6000 with cab sounds perfect. You haven’t described anything that would require a larger machine, but maybe I don’t fully understand what you need to do. Unless you have true full time farming or construction uses, one ton is adequate loader capacity for most people because most products are packaged on one ton pallets and most hay bales don’t weigh a ton. The MX has a 2400# loader capacity, allowing for lift of a ton plus pallet forks.
Worse yet!
If you can describe your tasks, implements and size you need to use, and what you want to lift, this will determine what you really need. Mowing: do you want to run a 6 or 7 or 8 foot cutter? What do you want to lift with the loader? Those types of questions will determine what you need.
The one point I would add is that if your ground not flat, that’s a consideration towards what would be most stable if planning to lift and move big heavy thingees…extra weight and extra footprint. In a situation with the grade I would be thinking not just the working load limit what what is really safe if navigating terrain that causes any sort of wrinkling or defamation of the vinyls seat cover. Tiltimeters can be easily triggered/sensitive when something is hoisted and ground not flat.
It does sound like an MX6000 HSTC will meet your needs and exceed your expectations. You will notice a significant step up over your Mahindra. I got the cabbed model for exactly the reason you mention ... DUST! That said, I was pushing and blowing snow this morning, and after six winters sitting on an open station tractor and getting powdered snow and ice blown back in my face, I have to say that a warm cab is infinitely preferrable to an open station. I've always enjoyed moving snow around but now I LOVE moving snow around.
The wife probably staysMaybe wrong choice,...... about what to get rid of?
!about if the mx 6000 cab hydro is enough of a jump in performance over my current tractor to justify letting go of the excavator!!Maybe wrong choice,...... about what to get rid of?
I like where your head is at!! I had never considered getting rid of the wife until now! lolThe wife probably stays
the terrain has slope to it but nothing that feels unsafe with the current tractor especially if you are at all paying attention to what you are doing.
I would also love a m4d-071 but it sounds like it would be a waste of a machine and money for what I would do with it. thanks for all the insight
Another step up in cost over the M7060 and an amazing tractor for sure, and you can get an instructor seat if you need it, but it doesn't sound like it would make much sense for you.
if money was not an issue that is for sure what I would get, but you are correct in it not being necessary for me in any way shape or form lol. but boy would I love to have one.
From personal experience,......... when the mandates begin, the end is in sight!The wife probably stays
Congrats on the anniversary. I've had my M6060 for four years now and have really enjoyed owning and using it. It's quite a beast and about as big and as capable as I could want, although I wouldn't turn down an M5, M6 or M7.
With some mods it's up around 85 hp and it does everything with ease. Reimer featured my tractor on their website for a while.
