A mate of mine has one on a loader. I've always rated it as a good machine. Not too thirsty but can pull a trailer if required and chuck a few bales out in winter.

Yes. No chance of stressing the rear end too much!
So far the maxxum's I've had have been good back end wise..the first 5150 plus I had started breaking things inside,then when we put her on a dyno we found out why..over 170hp on shaft
previous owner had given her a remap with a spanner on the fuel pump 5150 pro has had pto plates and that's it really

Has anyone got a 51 series with narrow rear fenders? We used to have a 5140 with them but I've never seen another one.

Iv seen one 5140 with wide tyres and narrow rear fenders in paxtons about 4 or 5 years ago but thats it.
Still beats the 6000 series jd on good pointsI neither love mine or loath it.
Bad points.
Lack of economy pto
Narrow cab with wide fenders
No reverse in top range
Noisy/whines
Shite steel/paint on mudguards
Shite pick up hitch
Good points
The engine.
Hmmm that's it.....

Our one had glass to the bottom of the doors, it was a 1993 model if I remember right
Mine was a K plate I think,the only synchro box one we had..

Ours was powershift, never driven a synchro.
There's a Case promotional video on youtube ( which I can't upload ) where they compare a Case Maxxum to a Ford 7710Well 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
What next, let's compare a Puma to a Ford 3000 ?.......

So there's no IH components in the 51 series then ?
Excuse my ignorance......not really been a Case fan since my 885xl experience.

Must admit i do believe they are a decent tractor. It's just i don't like them. It's mainly the clunky gears, cab interior and general styling. Personal preference i know but i just don't find them aesthetically pleasing to the eye.My earlier post was just an attempt at a joke and not to hijack the thread with petty bickering that we've all heard before
So just to get back on topic View attachment 419722
Thanks to Mr Mckechnie for the picture
Saying that i can't say i understand the appeal of the JD6000/10/20/30 series tractors either (yes i have driven a few over the years)
We're OK,mine spent most irs hours on umbilical pump,which was just as well as it had 30K box
