I'm having trouble reading the data online, and I wonder if one of you can help me. I'm trying to size a trailer. The tractor is a new M5-111 w/ the FEL LA 1854. It's the 12-speed 4WD model w/ Cab. Thank you!
Weight of M5-111 + FEL

I just went to the Kubota web site. I can see what you are saying. The web site has been dramatically changed - not for the better.
Anyhow - this is what I found The spec sheet lists the tractor at 7033 pounds. Able to find every little bit of data about the LA 1854 except how much it weighs. I would suggest that you allow 2400 pounds.
The FEL + bucket on my M6040 is right at 2000 pounds.
Another note - my M6040 has a grapple on the FEL and a heavy Rhino rear blade. I used all the manufactures listed weight + the Rimguard in my rear tires + all the fluids & fuels and came up with a weight. Last year I drove into town and put the tractor on the grain scales - - my estimate was - for reasons unknown - 350 pounds light.
When you figure the weight for your tractor - include that you more than likely will have something on the 3-point also.
Finally - if you can't get the tractor on a weigh scale - I would not go anything less than a 14K or 15K trailer.

Shoot. Not what I wanted to hear! I too couldn't find weight of the FEL. So I'll have the tractor and FEL...and likely an 8' rotary cutter on the 3-pt. I'm towing with a 2016 HD Cummins Mega w/ 6'4" bed, and it'll tow most anything, so it's more about the trailer than the tow vehicle.

Not sure if your still looking for this information but my LA1854 manual states a weight of 1852 lbs. Less bucket of course.

Yes, thank you--very helpful. I'll need to find the weight of the "light material" bucket, but that's new info for me. Appreciate it.
