I just ordered a 5105 4wd with a 521 loader. I was getting a 4700 with a 460 but found out I could get the 5105 for less cash. The 5105 is bigger and heaver with a larger engine. I have a lot of snow and timber to remove. Hope I did right. Any comments out there.

I chose the 4700 over the 5105/5205 series for couple of reasons:
1) no backhoe was available for 5105/5205
2) I wanted the hydrostatic trans for loader work
3) no midmount mower was available for 5105/5205
Enjoy your machine. Do not second guess your decision.
Tony,

Ron, If you are doing some serious tree halling you will like the extra weight.
I have a 4700 and use the V4000 Fransgard winch to do a little firewood but would not put a real jag on it, it's to light. David ....

Well Ron, I certainly feel you bought the right one. I also purchased a 4X4 5105 with the 421 loader. The extra weight of the tractor comes in handy when using the loader into piles of dirt and rock. I love mine and have had virtually no troubles with it. Plenty of grunt for hauling the heavy loads, too. ....
