[QUOTE="OklaBrangusBreeder, post: 783730, member: 2672"] I actually bought a JD 5093E about a year ago. Mine has the 553 loader on it and works fine, both loader and with the hay forks. I paid $41,600 in June 2009 for the tractor, loader, and hay fork. I absolutely love the tractor. My other tractor is a Farmtrac 80 which I still have for more basic duties. The JD is my first time to have a cab tractor. This last winter was a very harsh winter in Oklahoma (by our standards) and the 5093E started consistently and the heater was GREATLY appreciated feeding cattle all season. I just baled hay with it yesterday afternoon. It handles our JD 467 baler awesome. I looked at New Holland, Case, and Kubota when I bought. The features for the money I thought made the JD 5093E easily the way to go. The JD offered cab, 4WD on demand, and shuttle shift on the column in the basic configuration. I think I added two options, a second remote and a cold weather starting package (GREAT option for like a $100 or so). I have had no regrets at all. Only two things that I wish were maybe a little better. The fuel consumption seems abusive. Again, this is the first time I've had a tractor this size so maybe what I'm experiencing should be considered "normal" for that size machine, but it still hurts at the pump compared to the (smaller) tractors I've always owned. Secondly, the wheelbase is a little short making for a bit of a rough ride in pasture operations. I used it a few times to brush hog, and probably won't do that anymore. The Farmtrac frankly is a bit better riding machine for pasture operations. I really bought the JD for hayfield use and winter feeding duties. I can't imagine a machine being any better suited for those duties than the 5093E. I highly recommend the 5093E. [/QUOTE]
