Very few M models around here, but a lot of lightly used E series FEL tractors. Been looking at the E specs. The weight jumps from about 8,000 to 14,000 pounds when you move from 5000 to 6000 series. Looks like they all have 4.5 L engines, but the fuel systems vary. As you go up about 15 hp per model the list price jumps U$S 5000 to 8,000. Seems like a lot for a different fuel system setup...

Is the best used value would be a lower hp 6000 series like the 6105 E ? For some reason they have lower resale auction price % of list. Any ideas here?
 
Where are the E's made? The M's are made in Manheim, Germany. If your going to beat it like a loader tractor get a 6000. I know a cow calf / feed lot guy that has a 6105M. He says it's pretty bullet proof.
 
If the agility doesn’t bother you I would lean towards a 6 series. Just a lot more tractor there. Also keep an eye on torque numbers. That is where the difference is in a lot of these tractors. Same hp is no where near the same power if you take 20% of the torque away. As to the price difference your guess is as good as mine. How does a 5101 compare price wise to a 6105?

Smoother means more torque, or less bucking going down the road, or ?

Smoother all the way around, the 5083E is a good tractor but its short rough riding, (just bought a air ride seat pedestal for it tired of getting my butt beat) , cab is not a nice (louder) controls more generic. The 6130- longer, heavier, radial tires on the M, controls smoother and handier, self leveling loader is a must, and better options on the tranny.

Not a JD, but I recently bought my first tractor with a self leveling loader on it and hope I never have another one. You lose too much range of motion with the mechanical self levelers, there's not enough curl back at the top of the lift cycle. I can barely set a hay ring over the top of a round bale with the hay forks, this instance is a Quicke loader on a 105hp McCormick.

I feel the same way. Tried several and it just seems like no matter what you end up fighting them. Has more drawbacks than advantages IMO.
