So I am confused? Are you still shopping for a smaller tractor?
You have a bit of contradictory info in your first post.....
You say:
Then you say
..................................Kubota MX5400.............TYM574...............Massey 285
Weight w/cab......................4251......................4233...................4420
Front tires.........................9.5x16.....................9.5x16.................9.5-16
Rear..................................14.9x26...................14.9x26................13.6-28
3PH lift..............................2310...........................3057...................3086
Wheelbase..........................74.6............................76.2
Loader lift height.................111.2..........................110.2..................111
Loader lift capacity...............2275...........................2790...................2570
The bare tractor TYM574 is about a dead ringer for a kubota MX5400. Yet has a ~500# stronger loader and you are worried the kubota loader is too powerful for the machine???? The massey is not much bigger. Just a few hundred pounds more but physically about the same size.
I have an older version....MX5100. I have 600# wheel weights, 700# tire
ballast....and I can still tell you that unless you hang 1000lbs off the back you cannot use the loader to its fullest extent.
But I can tell you that either of these tractors.....or any tractor still wearing 16" front rubber (4wd models) is probably too small for 2000# pallets or large round bale moving.
What transmission are you looking at? IF you are wanting a HST trans......you are already looking at about the largest you can get with a HST.
But if you are looking at a gear tractor.....and wanting to lift 2000# pallets and move the LARGE round bales....you need to jump up one frame size. The deere 5045-5075 series. Which are all the same basic tractor with different optional HP ratings. OR the M4 kubota line
You need to get up around a 5000-6000 bare tractor weight to move round bales. Unless your plan is to move them off the 3PH
