Physical Size of 5101E, 5115M vs 6115M and 6115R

[Thowle]

I was looking on the Deere site, among others -- but can't find good specifications.

Does anyone know what the physical size difference is between the 5E, 5M, 6M, and 6R tractors?

I did find that the wheelbase difference from a 5M to 6R is about 12 inches wider.

What I'm really interested in is the height.

I'm familiar with a 5101E; but never been around any of the others -- so if someone can give reference based on the 5101E to compare size, and cab specifics -- that would be great!

Here's a little for you, from Deere's web site.
Length (no weights to end of 3pt arms) 6115M 176.6" 6115R 178.8"
Height with cab 6115M Min 106.6" Max 111.1" 6115R Min 105.2" Max 113.7"
They did not explain the reason for a min & max height, I think they must have a suspension system for the cab :confused3:

I would think the height difference has to do with tire choices?

Yes, and the cab suspension / Triple Link Suspension.

Yes, and the cab suspension / Triple Link Suspension.

Did you ever find who stole your tractor?

Did you ever find who stole your tractor?

Yeah, found it. stuck into ditch. Recovered it today. I think its hydrolocked, posting pictures later. Don't know who did it though which sucks..

I know that when you get to the 5115M series and above the tractors have an actual frame in them, where the 5101E uses the engine block for the frame. I am not sure how much taller they would be. I think they use the same cab. Tires would make a big difference as well.
