Here's a link to see the tractor. It's far from being a compact tractor but then again its not as big as some of those monsters that y'all have. It is the MFWD version. The spec shows the weight to be 4690 with ag tires which I assume does not include water in the tires. I have the industrial tires that are much wider than the ag tires and they are filled with water. My guess is that my tractor weighs 5800lbs not including the FEL.

Hi Clem,

Hope you don't get the idea that I'm puttin' your tractor down, 'cause I certainly am not. It is one heck of a little outfit.

I'm just saying that it was not designed for farm use is all.

Allan

 You mean they make bigger tractors than mine??!!! in reply to Allan in NE, 01-18-2005 17:17:14  
My skin isn't that thin and I didn't take it the wrong way so you don't have to apologize. "Compact" is a relative term thus compared to your tractor(s) my tractor is "compact". I was mearly pointing out that my tractor is not compact compared to a "compact" tractor. John Deere has their line of compact tractors whereas this tractor is listed as a utility tractor. In anycase, my "farm" is "compact"...ha, ha. Its only 13 acres of flat pasture land; used primarily for grazing land for my horses. I think a "real" tractor would be useless on such a compact farm. Anyhow, I very much appreciate your input regarding my question. How much acreage or you on anyways?

The water is extra, & a wild guess is 700 lbs extra, going to the Firestone web site with tire size & amount of fill (you said water, CC is heavier, antifreeze is lighter) would give you exact weight.

Your tractor is on the bigger size of a compact. It has that very short wheelbase, which is the 'issue' on stability with a loader. Measure from the middle of a bale on the loader to the front axle; then measure from the middle of your rear tires to the front axle, and it might be about the same.... On a 'real' tractor the wheelbase is much longer, and the rear measurement will be much longer, making the fluid count a lot more.

Certainly a nice tractor tho. :)
