Thanks a lot Dick for the thorough answer! I didnt even know the default 85% aspect ratio was not stated on Ag tires... it's much clearer now :)

Hi again OliG - checking my figures I found a small error in the front/rear travel ratio. I've edited my posts so they have correct numbers.

Your existing R1's are a correct size combination for the L5450. Take care, Dick B

Hello again OliG - I have been in touch with the TBN member in Mississippi who had the skid plate under his l5450. He took it off for oil filter work (left it off) - says it does protect some parts and is a trade-off. My own thought is that the loader frame and cab supports maybe do enough?

I do lift the doors off for summer - nice shade & rain protection for mowing (no a/c). I leave the rear window in place to reduce mower debris coming forward - my place has some poison ivy which I 'm not as immune to as I used to be :rolleyes:
