Have a L3560DT-LE, with 296 hours on it. Was moving some pallets without any issues. Went to change from forks to bucket, once I attached the bucket on the tractor, it suddenly wouldn’t move. I went through all the gears in both HIGH and LOW, but only would crawl in LOW 1st gear. I parked...

Found the ground is 12” down to 48” of mushy ground…

All models are HST with loaders and ROPS Big/tall operator 6’6”/350lbs L4701, MX4800, MX5200. Are they all pretty much the same machine, just with minor PTO differences? Using the tractor to farm 10 acres, maintain a 1/3 mile swampy road, and clear several acres for hobby farm.

Eow Wow! That’s an awesome answer! I appreciate all that you did for me. I was attempting to determine whether or not it was feasible to fit in my garage, or whether a carport outside made more sense! Your findings helped considerably. Thank you for that!

Anyone know the length of a L4701 w/loader and bucket? Also width at widest point? ty

Can the pedal be moved?

Does this look to small?

Digging along the sides of our 1/3 mile driveway, digging out stumps, digging holes for orchard we are planning, and digging a 1/4 acre fish pond.

For the expense, is the backhoe for the L series Kubota worth getting?

No I’m not sure. I’ll look into picking one up. Ty for the tip

About a foot or so

First time tractor owner planning to purchase an MX5400HST. One of the primary uses planned for it, is to aide in harvesting trees, brush hogging overgrowth, and building a footpath in a wetland forest. The land is mainly mushy soil, not standing water mind you. Without an expensive trial...

Called the local dealer. Got descent quotes on both the L4701HST and the MX5400HST. Both ROPS only. Both with loaders. Then he states that don’t have either in stock and states perhaps by spring. 😳

My only concern with the MX5400 was the weight. The land we’ll be clearing/cleaning is primarily wetland.

Would the pedal placement of DT afford more room then the HST?
