did they make a front bucket or loader attachment for the B5100e ?
if so what was the max weight limit it can pickup? where might I find one? I am located in middle Tn.

That machine is the lower cousin of the B6100 and the more popular B7100 - the 71 did have loaders not sure of the 61 or the 5100 series.

IF they did make one......finding one WITH all the parts would be very difficult......

I think you would have a better chance at seeing Trumps tax returns!:D

If you really need a FEL .....sell that machine or keep it for another job type and get you a newer machine with FEL......THEY can be found used in the 6K price range depending on where you look. Trying to piece those parts together will be difficult and $$$$$$. ;)

You are looking for a unicorn in a field of clover, Rare!

You would be better off looking for an aftermarket setup, like koyker.

That size of tractor and loader will pick up about 400 to 700 lbs depending on how far in front of the pins you have the load.

You will be looking at about $2.5k to $3k for all the parts and you will have to make your own mounts and subframe (the most important part).

I have a b6100 and came across a loader for sale locally off a b7100 or b7001 (cannot recall which). I paid 750 for the loader and have about another 3-500 into subframe and hydraulics. It was a steal of a deal and a once in a lifetime find I think but they are out there.

I found drawings for the subframe online so it made it super easy to build a subframe. Not sure if they would fit a 5100 though.

dang :( crap I have already found another tractor with a fron bucket loader for $3000
any idea what my little 5100e would be worth? it has the original mowing deck and rear scrape blade... I am thinking about selling it and moving up to something bigger....

An B5100E in good condition, 2k to 2.5k depending on the local market.

Look for a D (4wd) for a loader tractor. ;)
