JD 5101E feedback

[Russell Moore]

Hi guys I m considering buying a JD 5101e
I have looked at other tractors namely Kubota,New Holland and Case IH and right now the JD looks like it better suits me
We will be doing a lot of hay production with this tractor but all square bales I want to be able to pull my 7000 planter with it planting corn and beans and be able to do some tillage with it
Will it pull a 3 bottom plow ok
Any input or advice is appreciated
Thanks

First thing I looked for was to see if it's hydrostatic, and it looks like it isn't, that is good. we have a 01 JD 4600 with
the 12-12 power reverser transmission, and I just love it. 1250 hours, and no problems whatsoever. But ours is much smaller
and has a Yanmar engine.
