New L4240

Nice tractor... I like the stickers on the right side of the bucket.

I like your turf tires too.

Have fun!... and be safe.

The stickers will wear off pretty soon. Right now they are protecting the paint.

What size trailer is that in your picture you've posted?

Rich P · Jun 5, 2007

That trailer was just temporary. I now have a 10 ton deck-over wheels trailer. Total length needed from front bucket to back of harley rake wheels is just under 21'. If you want me to measure anything on my machine, just let me know.

Still, I'm just curious what size that trailer was, even though temporary. Reason is because I just bought the same tractor, L4240 and have a 16 foot car hauler.

Thanks.

I am not sure, but I think it is the Towmaster T-12 in a 20' version (might be the 18' though). T-12DD Your 16' should work for the tractor, but I am not sure how any implements would do. I'll try to get a measurement from the front of the bucket to the rear wheels for you tomorrow.

Front of bucket on level ground to mid of rear tire: 13'.
Front of bucket on level ground to back of 3 point lifting arms at horizontal: 16'.
Your 16' trailer should be fine.

I've had my rear tires set out wider for chains. They now are 74 inches from outside to outside, or each got set out about 4 inches according to the original specs. I wonder if I'm going to like the additional width although it should be a little more stable on some of the hills and arroyos.

My rears are out close to 74" due to the wide turf tires. Stability has not been an issue for me because I'm mostly on flat ground.
When is it due in?

It's supposed to be delivered to my place tomorrow. I've got to drive up from Albuquerque to meet the dealer who's delivering it personally.
