Hi everyone,

I’m in the market for a Cab 5E w/loader, could be 5055e-5075E the HP truly isn’t a huge deal for me. After doing some light looking around it seems like the 5E is very light in features comparatively vs Kubota, Kioti, and New Holland. This may just be me only seeing sales videos that is distorting my view. But I’m looking at the Kubota M4-071, Kioti NX7320, and New Holland Workmaster 75.

Ive owned a Kubota L2501 in the past. Had zero issues with it. But why I switched to a 3033R was the cab and two dealers are 5 minutes from my house. I own more land now (40 acres) and could use the larger tractor for large projects. I have a 1025R as well for smaller stuff around the property.

It’s hard not to look at these other brands for their comfort creature features and prices point.

Anyone else done this before and what did you end up doing?

Any idea what the part number is?
Here is one option, but it gets expensive:

I haven't owned any previous 5 series. I'm getting a new 5075E, but I didn't get the third function for it.

I’ve got to do something about my mirrors. When the tractor was being delivered I lost one of them on the highway. Anyone have any alternatives that will stay in position and are cheaper than Deere?
For the price, these are sure worth a try:

Thanks for the link. I’ve been looking for that kit!
That appears to be a WR Long kit, it should work well.

Yup, I do it all the time.

Can someone tell me what that valve on the hose connections for the front end loader is for? I have the single point connector on mine and the dealer still installed that valve. Zoom in on this pic to see it.
