Big boots!!
You've done well to keep on about 6000hrs too @R tea - I've just passed 8000 and I thought that was quite low for a 19 year old tractor.
She looks a crackerYes it's not used much, Its only done about 1500 hours in the 10 years we have had it and biggest part of those have come in the last 18 months.

Sold ours a few years back, it was going to a hill farmer in wales when it left us.! Anybody seen it?! Good tractor, but cant keep them all
I'm no good with video,I struggle to take a picture@mtx.jag have you no videos? You need sound too not just photos
I did demo a very late one,think it was P plate,found it very under powered,I bought a 103.54 Renault insteadHow many 4cyl 5120 sold into the uk dont see many.
Man not far from us had 2 5120s used to pull a 4 furrow reversible up hill and down dale , they weren't too lively on the road thoughI did demo a very late one,think it was P plate,found it very under powered,I bought a 103.54 Renault instead
I had a west 1300 duel spreader behind it,as you said,on the road it wasn't great for 95hp..the 7610 it was going to replace was much more pokey as the 103.54 was,a proper pocket rocketMan not far from us had 2 5120s used to pull a 4 furrow reversible up hill and down dale , they weren't too lively on the road though
Although they were dynamite compared to their neighbours MX90 C bloody slug of a thing it was
Well naturally the 7610 is a whole different class of machineI had a west 1300 duel spreader behind it,as you said,on the road it wasn't great for 95hp..the 7610 it was going to replace was much more pokey as the 103.54 was,a proper pocket rocket
I had a monumental fall out with the old fella a number of years back. We were looking to change a tractor and he had had a conversation with the local case dealer who had a 5130 in. we had a 7840 turbo and I wanted a 8340 to go with it. Anyway i said i didn't want anything to do with a 5130 and if he bought it he could drive the fudgeing thing.
A few days later we were doing a contracting job for a chap who had a 5140. After some cajoling on my part i got the old man to have a sit in it. After a minute or 2 he got back out turned to me and said 'yes i can see what your getting at'
We bought a Ford 8240 a few weeks later.
I think had I been doing more land work,the 5120 would of been ideal,back then it was all trailer and spreader work..Well naturally the 7610 is a whole different class of machine
I think the 5120 was fairly heavy for it's power , apparently they're great loader tractors with a heavy back end and power shuttle
