Thanks for the input from the forum. Picked up my M5660 today. Little wet down here in south Mississippi/Louisiana so no pictures of it in the wild but a few on the trailer. Keep it simple with options
- 6 foot bucket
- rcr1872 brush hog
- tires filled
- 3 hooks welded on bucket
- 3 function on FEL
- tree/post puller
- EA grapple on order for 1 month

Sweet and congratulations! That's an awesome tractor! What size EA grapple did you order? I bet the Wicked 66! :D What tires and sizes did you go with?

Yep Wicked 66. Had the 60 on order when I was waiting on the MX but they recommended moving to the 66 when I changed to the M. As far as tires, it’s the bias ply ones. The radial tires would have been great but was delivered with these. Also keep the price very close to the MX.

I bought the Wicked 60 when I bought the first MX about 18 months ago. I think it's a really good grapple for the MX at 400lb. It does look a little goofy on the M though, and no doubt the Wicked 66 would look a lot better, but the 60 still works good. You're going to love that Wicked 66 and I'm a little jealous.

My M6060 came with the Ag R1 bias tires but I swapped out the front wheels/tires for the wider radial Ag R1.

We have different tractors (albeit, both Orange) but, I have a Carbonized Gray Super Duty Tremor too, lol

NICE! I think you'll like that tractor as much as I do mine.

I know. Went to my dealer for work parts yesterday. They had a M7060 on the lot.... I looked.
My M6060 purchase started out in much the same way. I was at the local dealer in January and they had a new M7060 parked in "my spot" that had been ordered for a customer. After spending some time in the cab and looking at that beast I knew I wanted something similar. I was trying to talk myself out of one with comments like "The 7060 is too much tractor for my small little place" but I knew it was futile.

There's really little real-world difference between the M7060 and M6060 other than the option for the F12/R12 transmission which is a good option for sure. I got my M6060 at such a good price and it's an incredible tractor for my uses so I don't have M7060 envy, ok, maybe a little, but not enough to be looking to swap.

I used my MX today for rotary cutting. I appreciate its tight turning radius when working around trees.
Yep the MX has a great at turning and liked the Hyst transmission. When I test drove one was easy to get use to, size was close to my ford. Had one on order then a M5660 showed up at dealer. Took it for a spin and liked it. Not a lot bigger than the MX but took a little time to adjust to. Both great tractors just happen to like the M60.

They are both great tractors. The MX is perfectly sized for my uses.
