Tough to find a 5610

[ruffdog]

Small stuff is carried in 5 gallon pails that are in the rear hood pockets and big stuff is carried in the grapple, bucket, or carry-all.

I can mount this carry-all on the front or rear!

Yes, I agree. I guess I'm going to have to be very patient and wait for a 5610. It'll drive me crazy, but worth the wait. IMHO, if you have to carry objects in the bed of the 5600, might as well just carry them in the bucket of the 5610?

Right, or use the forks to hold a box similar to this garden cart on my TORO+Loader:

OK, so heres another and I apologize for all the wandering around on the subject of trying to find a toolcat.
This has probably been debated to death, but whats the summary on tires?
I definitely feel like I'm a candidate for the taller tires. I like the idea of the improved ride quality and ground clearance. On my farm tractors, I have the tallest tires I can get. Smooths out the ruts a bit.
If I'm primarily using the machine for mowing fields, carrying round bales and some attachment work (york rake, box blade, snowplow) whats my best bet?
Like the toughness of an R4 but the lawn manners of a turf. Are the turfs durable enough for some rough ground work? Is there a tall turf? Or are the turfs restricted to 27"?

 

[Xfaxman]

No experience with turfs. Have the tall R4s. Wish they offered R1s.

The R4 tires come in 27" or 29" while the turfs are only 29". The turfs are 2" wider so the machine will come with the wider fenders. The turfs are a tough 6 or 8 ply tire. The suspension on the machine will amaze you on the ride.

Ok so turfs are 29”. Here I was thinking 27”
Thanks that’s a big help

Ahhh, OK. You guys are terrific with the technical info.
Oh, and nice jobs on the carry alls!

Speaking of a carry all, This one is from Omni Mfg.:

Using it now on the Polaris:

Definitely an advocate for large wheels and tires.

I had sleepless nights when I got my Little Wheel loader with Turf Tires. Except for a couple of occassions, I just LOVE them and would have no other tires. Winter or Summer. Maybe it helps if they are all the same size and the rears follow the track of the front.

 

[Hay Dude]

I’m learning lots as we go.
I was pretty much ignoring units with turfs, thinking they were 27” and “delicate”. Now I know better.
I’m now more determined to wait for a 5610.
If anyone sees one around 35k, please let me know. Its a tough find! There’s so few.
In meantime, please keep the discussion going!
