I'm in middle TN near Columbia

Thinking I need to start working with a different dealer

I'm looking to buy a trailer with brakes etc.. and it would gave 3500 dual axles, dealer says I need 5000 pound dual axles... I have an F150 I'm thinking seriously?? I need a bigger truck now to pull the L4701 home from the dealer ?

The weight of the L4701 is about 3300 pounds The loader is about?? I'm looking for the loader weight as the delaet says with a L4701 and loader LA765 I can't use a dual axle trailer with axles rated at 3500 pounds. After tire fills on the tractor ??

yes and he said with that big frame and weight is why it road nice on his beat up cow pastures

And therein lies the problem, how much money do I want to spend to be able to move from 6 foot cutter to an 8 foot?

That's huge

I was told a dual spindle wouldn't have it (tractor) work as hard or weight as much, urban legend??

Also the 5040 is rated at 45hp at the PTO, not sure if that is enough for an 8 foot dual spindle??

yes I was looking at a 5640SU, how are those compared to what you mentioned

Let me state what I am looking to do first Rotary cutter work - want a 8 foot dual spindle Loader work - widening my trails - clearing dirt and generic "dirt work" Now let me state what I "think I want" in the tractor itself Used 4WD - Must have that as I have some hills in the...

will do. Local guy had a M9000 (with loader non-cab) with 2200 hours fro 18K almost went with it

that's not far 2.5 hours for me...

I decided against the deal for the 5640SU, gonna sell mine on the open market then look for another... Appreciate all the input from y'all

yes agreed, thanks for the input..
