Zuidberg makes a front PTO and 3 point kit. I know the parts cost however I was trying to get a idea of the labor cost to install it.

That was with the kit installed and ready to work. It was a couple of years ago when I checked that too, so that most likely changed.
thanks

hey did you get a front PTO? I just got an M5–111 and have a TON of woods to clean up. I do not own a SS and can't imagine how much more difficult, a flail mower or bush hog or forestry mulcher will be in reverse hour after hour after hour. Zuidberg front PTO looks solid- and theycompany makes OEM parts for leading mfgs. did you get it?

It seems like a good price without doing any homework. 👍

That's surely less than an equal year Grand L would go for around here. Crazy. Are the prices on compact tractors that bad, or is it the depreciation of larger machines?

I really can only guess. That's a small utility tractor for the majority of farms and a loader would be a more common attachment for the front.
I actually found quite a few front pto/3pt in this issue. As usual the bigger Deere and Fendt $250k used machines, then quite a few 4000 series JD that appear to be Canadian residential snow blowing machines that have been traded. Probably from a bigger contractor rolling his fleet over. Some had a blower included on the front. At least in the picture.
I'd love to have that tractor, but it would have to have a loader as well.

The price on that M5-111 is pretty sharp. A new cabbed 4wd L6060 is $54K, whereas a cabbed 4wd M5-111 is $79K. I suspect that the M5-111 that @Rustyiron posted will not last long. Compact tractors also hold their value very well.
