you don't need a 100hp tractor. the 5 series deere is plenty. i have a 5055E with the 553 loader. loader specs almost 3200lbs at the pins to full height and almost 5000lbs to 59" again at the pins. i can't remember what the measurements were 500mm and 800mm in front of the bucket, but i could check the owners manual at the office.
couldn't lift this log onto the GN, but it would lift it almost high enough. green white oak i think it was 15 ft long and 30" around
