1st Post- Looking at an Old L5450

A great website to get tractor info is www.tractordata.com

I'm not sure it will tell you bucket width but it will certainly list the loader that was available on the tractor.

Just taking a wild guess here. I'm guessing a 72". My previous L4400 had a 72". My M9540 has an 84".

Interestingly, I dont see anything about the loader on the tractordata site... hmmm. Its not a huge deal, Im just curious how much firewood I can stack in it!! ;0) Have I seen something on the rear of tractors for carrying a box of wood??

I hope you realize the list of "optional equipment" is endless. Use the loader bucket to carry firewood until you have filled the more important things on the implement list. That list will develop quickly once you have the tractor and start doing chores. Get the tractor first. Settle in. Then decide the priority of the implement list.

Oh yeah... I'm already obsessed with the Kubota catalog... ugh!

Our L5450's LA1150 loader has the 70" bucket. It has a rounded back & you can stack lots of wood in/on it, with a row at the front and more behind. You'll like the strength of the loader - with filled tires it lifts cars without the back getting light.

who knows, the avatar may change. Depending on what time I get to Billings tomorrow, I may get to drive it tomorrow. Saturday at latest. Then make offer if I like it.
Riddle me this please, what kind of trailer will I need to haul this thing 350 miles? Just a good car trailer?

If I dont get this... its likely I'll end up with something new in the 0% for 84 range... Kubtoa or Kioti... so we'll see. But I save maybe 12k by getting this.
