A T5 with autocommand should make for a good loader tractor. Wonder how the price would compare to that wee fendt if you speced it similarly

That’s the T5.140 AutoCommand Bluepower, looks to be a T5 bonnet and backend with T6 cab and gearbox. It’s also NHs first Tier5 tractor. A T5 ElectroCommand is around 50-55k depending on spec last time I priced, guessing another 10-15k for an AC model?
At 70k for a AC model you would be better buying the fendt 312 for 5k more, I know which would hold its value more.

Had a look at a 5711 global and 5712s today no prices yet ,the global has changed since i saw one last year (cab better quality) with a few handy gadgets brake to clutch,double pump,couple of auto speed changes ,receding hairline roof,cab suspension,dyna 4,said the sales man same engine and backend as the s models even has the locking spools!!!! and 4.4l instead of the 3.4 of the t5 .
Does 38" rears give you anything more than 34"except a bit of ground clearance .

Whats couple of auto speed changes? A splitter gearbox?
Higher top speed if they don't change gearing?

Can’t remember the number, but it was 95hp ish, had problems with the shuttle, seat (replaced twice), switches, and it’s final nail in the coffin was when it sucked it’s fuel tank in on it’s self, all within 18momths
Fendt
211 is only 63k , about 5k more than the mf 5711

Bigger footprint, so more traction and float.

Another little point about the massey you could fold the mirror out of the way behind the exhaust and it wasnt higher than the top of the cab.

For stock farmer 70k seems huge price for tractor loader that might do very little field work,

That 70k will depreciate too much for us stock farmers. It needs to be working to pay its high price and 8yr warranty

Worked hard either on a busy farm or contracting is the only way for the high price to be warranted

And we'll have a loader on every tractor we have. From a wee 365 Mf to 6630 Deere and 135 Maxxum.

There’s plenty of hurlimann and zetor loader tractors in this area and they’ll all do the job you want for less money
