M7060 weight with BH?

[sea2summit]

I think it's way too much tractor for me but a dealer has one with 300 hrs and is offering a deal I might have to find a reason to jump on but can't for the life of me find any reliable info on the specs of the M4011 BH.

A for sure deal breaker is if it's not going to fit on my current trailer etc. which I think it's going to bust. Anyone know the weight of tractor with FEL and BH?

Thanks

I know the hoe on a BX-25 is 700 lbs. I would say triple that for the M hoe and add another 800-1000 for the fel.

Not exactly the same, but close, actual weight on a M7040SU with LA1153 loader/bucket, cast wheels 8860lb.

how much do you need a hoe? lots of weight on that.

Thanks, dealer is saying just under #9k.

You have the 7040 I assume, like it? Would you go that big again and what do you do with it?

All the time:licking:

I was actually looking at a Medium-ish excavator to get some stumps out and dig a pond but looking long term I think a bigger tractor will do better a lot more work for me and I can actually justify purchasing it so I'll just rent an excavator/dump truck for a weekend to put in the pond.

So far so good and quite happy, haven't had it long. Used on a beef farm (jobs will be haying, loader work etc) Went that size since wanted more power and traction compared to the 7520lb 2wd 40HP utility we still have.

My M7040 HDC-1 with cast wheels,liquid ballast in rear tires & LA1153/rd bale spear weighs 8888 actual #s

Tractor was 8260lb with just loader arms (no bucket), so interesting how loaded tires and bale spear only add up for 600lb. It does have metric R-1W tires, so I wonder if those weigh a lot more than the normal rubber. The SU should be a little lighter than a straight 7040(?). Considering the sales lit said the M7040SUHD was like 4600lb dry (I am assuming no fluids or wheels!)

I think difference in weight of R-1 vs R-4 tires will depend a lot on their size. My tractor has 16.9X30 rears & 9.5X24 frts. According to Miller Tires my rears weigh 183#s each & frts weigh 80#s each

You have the sizes shown on the sales lit, It's on R-1W Radials, 420/85R28 and 360/70R20 Rears are 204lb each and Fronts 110lb each, but that only equals 100lb more ?
