Loader for M5700?

[carterohk]

I am the new owner of a M5700 (SN: 10006). I don't even know what model year it is, but I hope to get a loader and maybe even a backhoe for it, some time early next year perhaps. Are such attachments (and associated hydraulics) still made for this tractor?

Thanks,

Andrew

P.S. Off topic perhaps, but was there ever an owner's manual for this model?

That model was made 2001-2005 and based on your serial # it's most likely a 2001, but year is not all that important, model is.

Loader and back hoe are a complicated matter
Looking at the picture is it a 2wd and not a 4wd? you might have a tough time even finding loader brackets that will fit it, it took a LA1001 and LA1002 loader in the 4wd and not sure if they ever offered a loader on the 2wd model.
You could always go aftermarket for the FEL through Woods, Westendorf, or others
For the Backhoe I would go Woods, go with a 4 point or sub frame model and not a 3 point model, much stronger.

I once owned a M4900 2WD with a LA1001 FEL so they were available.

Thank you for your replies. They are very helpful. It is a 2wd.

Thanks for the info, it's good to know.
I don't deal or see a whole lot of 2wd Kubota's in my neck of the woods, mountains, bad weather and 2wd don't play nice together!

mountains, bad weather and 2wd don't play nice together!

I know, but 61hp and $10,000 do.

Well you being in Virginia I betting you don't have the steep mountains like here, and I betting you get far less snow, and yes not a bad price.

Here is a link to a loader, still would need mounts and controls.

I'll take both of those bets as well. Thanks for the tip on the loader.
