looking at a 2004 5600 to buy

oldphart · Mar 17, 2018

ok i am back and now i am looking at a used 5600 a 2004 model with about 700 hours on it. it comes from a rust free state and has turf tires a quick attach and high flow. are there anything i need to know before i go look at this model? i believe it is an A model correct? i want to be able to move a round bale of hay so it will need to be able to lift about 1500 lbs,will it do that? any comments or suggestions are welcome THANKS

ok i have identified that there was a drive motor problem but it may have been for newer series machines. this particular toolcat has almost 700 hours and was used lightly i think. what tests can i perform when driving it and testing it to see if the drive motors are going? also did the late 2004 A series have high flow as an option?

Don't know about the A, but the F handled 5x6 bales, no problem.
