If you can't find a Maschio manual, it should match one of the John Deere Frontier models since Maschio is who makes them. JD switched to Maschio from Howard over the last couple of years as the maker of its tillers for the Frontier line of implements. Should be able to match the size and duty and order a manual from JD.

I recently purchased a 5205 MFWD (8F/4R SyncReverser� transmission is standard equipment)equipped with the following:

Folding ROPS
Stainless Canopy
16.9-28 In. 6PR R1 Bias rear tires
9.5-24 In. 6PR R1 Bias
Single Rear SCV with Detented Float and Lever Controls
Dual Mid SCV with Joystick Control
Telescoping Draft Links
521 Front Loader

in Conroe for about 23,500 out the door. I love the tractor and find it easier to use than the MX5000. Also the hydraulics are about 30% more flow and lift capacity. I leased a new Mx5000 for 50 hours before I bought the Deere.

I have one of the plotmasters. I have the 4' model (3pt and pull hitch included). It is an outstanding piece of equipment. Will work about an acre/hr behind 500cc atv or 2 acres/hr behind diesel tractor. This is working cutover lanes in timber. Only help is mow the weeds down first or it takes an extra pass. Key is steel tube frame, 18" blades (heavy 800 lbs) and plow behind disk to make it cut and dig in hard ground on one pass. I use it in southern black gumbo and can't tear it up. Highly recommend.

I am using it to maintain about 75 acres of fire lanes, power and pipeline right of way, and roads in a large block of pine plantation timber. I primarily am mowing, clearing brush, piling blow downs, grading roads, and fixing culverts. I bought the 5205 and it is great. It replaced a 27hp CUT that was just too light.

I am trying to decide between 4610/460 FEL combo (4wd,HST,R4,Dual Mid Service, Single Rear Service)$19,380+$3495=$22,875 OTD and 5205/521 FEL combo (4wd, Dual Mid Service w/Joystick, Single Rear Service,R4,telelinks,Folding ROP) $20,425+$3540=$23,965 OTD. I think I am going with the muscle over features. Do these prices sound fair? Local has great reputation.
