    Well wear, nothing to beat Krone really.

    How do you find the front mower to follow ground?

    I found him 100% and a nice man as well. I bought from him once and he did everything he had promised with no fuss , the machine has never given a moments trouble since I bought it 4 years ago, second hand JCB.

    Didn't get it today after. He has it on display in a hardware yard to try drum up a bit of interest and maybe get a few orders. No hassle with that. I'm in no mad rush yet for it

    Be close enough. Not too bothered by the colour being exactly exact. Will be shiny silvery shortly with wear hopefully

    Check valve is important.

    Best of luck with it. They’re a mighty job.

    Meant to be basic but very reliable, were the earlier ones a little light on the axles or am I raving. Meant to be a good tractor from what i hear

    I've never heard anything bad about them here but they're poor sellers in britain.
    Supposed to be a cheap tractor secondhand over there which makes you wonder.

    Does all net wrap come on a cardboard inner tube or can it be got on a plastic tube?

    From my experience so far they're all cardboard tubes. The only plastic tubes I've come across so far are in valve plastic.

    We've good experience of them. They're built light, meaning they're very easy on diesel but probably not up to real heavy haulage. Best tractors we've seen yet on soft ground. No major problems, just niggly bits - hand throttle cable breaking, fuses blown, etc. Overall would recommend them tbh.

    Would the m5111 be able for a 1600 gallan tank on hilly ground

    I'd say it would, we've a 128 that walks away grand with a 1600 but the M5111 is a tonne lighter.

    Extra bit of weight is worth a lot with a full tanker on hills.

    I have a kubota ME9000 which is 20hp less than the M5111 and she handles a 1600 belmac no bothers.

    Put some sort of a cover on that wheel bearing or it could give trouble and the wheel could fall off. Even the bottom of a 2 litre 7up bottle would do as a temporary fix and tape it on.
