MX 4700/4800 Clearance with ROPS Folded?

[Kurgen1991]

I'm starting to look at purchasing my first tractor and I have narrowed it down to a few models. An issue I have is how I plan to store it for the foreseeable future. I have an old pole barn with 78" of clearance that I'd like to use. But I can't find any information on the clearance with the ROPS folded. Does anybody know what that would be for an MX 4700 or 4800? Thanks!

Running R1 or R4 tires?

dealer close by? take a tape. good luck, MX series are great. as you know, ROPS fold if you want the extra effort should you want to look @ the 5200 as well.(unless you go w/a canopy which is a nice option w/open station) best regards
see you already want folded clearance...sorry....but best bet is measure @ dealer if that's the deciding factor...how easy to adjust header on pole barn?

I'm thinking R4 tires. My land is a weekend place and I won't be able to get over there for a few weeks. But there is a dealer in town. In fact, my choices are pretty much narrowed to the dealers in town for servicing.

Bubba: hadn't thought about it because the header is actually my roofline. But I bet I can set a new header and simply shorten the roof span if the clearance is close.

that would be worth considering if it's the only reason for the model choice. mx series is a great choice. going to the K site you can look @ the specs of each model in the Mx series. best!
another op would be put a simple side structure off the main bldg & get a canopy on the rops. always lots of options

you should be fine with 78"

I'm thinking 77.5-78" is about what the MX5100 with R4's is here but I'll double check. That was one concern we had because of getting in the cattle run in shed and one barn opening was going to be close. Had thought about going with Grand L60 series but talked ourselves out of it due to cost and trying to stay away from a DPF also the new Grand L60 series ROPS sits about 4" higher than the Grand L40 series at about 82-83" due to relocation of the fuel tank under the deck.
