JD 563 Farm Loader

[Back40Bob]

Just bought a new JD 5093E tractor. I was out of town when it was delivered but my ranch manager was there. It came w/ a 563 farm loader.

But, to his surprise, it was black - not JD Green. It was also narrower than the width of the tractor.

We suspect this is the wrong bucket.

Can anyone confirm what the specs are for the 563 Farm Loader?

Thanks in advance,

Bob

73", 85" or 91" High Volume buckets.

You could narrow the tractor up a bit, take a slice out of the middle...

Did you ask about bucket sizes when ordering, or did they even bother to ask you? You may have a 66" bucket. I would call them.

My ranch manager reached out to them and they said they are working on it.
Yea right. I'm on my way there now and will reach out to them tomorrow.
I'm sure they will try and hit me up for more money. I sent them a letter telling them that they knew this setup was for snow removal and that they should have included the wider bucket. And, it was not specified on the sales order and had it been, i would have caught it and addressed the issue before delivery.

Will keep you posted on how we make out.

On JD's website it says 73" is standard in base price
