Hey everyone. Bought a cab cam for my m4-071. Was wondering what everyone else was doing for mounting options and locations. Thanks!

I will be using a small square baler. I’ve got 10’+ gates everywhere on our place so not worried about that. Would still like to be able to put it on a trailer if need be. I went ahead and got the 84” bucket as well to make sure if I did widen out the wheels they wouldn’t be outside the front...

Hey Everybody, getting ready to take delivery on a M4-071. I was going to have the dealer set the front and back wheels to the middle width positions for better stability on hills and pulling a baler. Has anyone had any issues with setting wheels out wider as far as wear and tear on their...

Awesome! I called a local Hesston dealer and he pulled a manual and he told me minimum of 75hp. The one I am looking at is actually an 1160, not sure if hydraulic pumps are the same on the 1170. This one is also only a 12’ head.

Hey everybody, I’ve got a M4-071. It’s right at 60hp to the pto. My questions is does it have enough hp to run a Hesston 1160 Hydroswing with a 12ft head? I found a good deal on one but don’t want to beat my machine up running it. Thanks for the help!

Anyone running a buddy seat of some sort in your m7060 or m6060? Pictures would be great! Thanks!

We are in Wyoming at about 5-7k feet. Debating stepping up to the m7060 for the extra hp just in case.

Considering buying an M6060 with cab and heat/ac. Does anyone notice a considerable amount of hp reduction with running the ac? Would it be enough to keep you from pulling a 2 bottom plow or running haying equipment? Thanks!

Good morning Jimh406 and thank you for your reply! I have seen some haying equipment that is made for lower HP tractors and it looks awesome! My only concern would be the hst transmission I currently have. I Would only be haying a few acres a couple of times a year but am also planning on doing...

Thank you guys for all your great replies! I’m thinking I am going to go with the shuttle shift for the possibility of haying and expanding in the future. I’ve been looking at the m6060 as that’s what my dealer can get and for not much more money you seem to gain a couple of Pro’s over the 5660.

Hi everyone, sorry if this topic has already been beat to death. I currently have a l2501 and am constantly finding myself needing a bigger tractor. I’m debating between the mx5400/6000 and the M5660. Primary use would be snow removal(we get some really deep drifts), some dirt work and spreading...
