Total length of MT235e with loader and backhoe

chas0218 · Oct 28, 2019

I saw the tractor is 121" without the loader but wanted to know what the total length is with loader and what is the total length with loader and backhoe. Anyone know these measurements? I am looking at converting a camper frame to a firewood hauler and was going to add 1' to the back so the total length of the bed is 15' with 6' between the wheel wells. I was hoping that extra foot would be enough for at least the loader and tractor. This trailer would be only for firewood if it won't work for the tractor, the trailer's capacity can handle it no problem just wondering the length.

If the frame size is the same as the MT225e, (which I believe it is), The tractor/loader is just under 16' with the bucket level / flat on the ground. If you 'curl' the bucket down or under ( like fully dumped) it is just under 15'. With the BH on (out straight in transport position) it is about 20'. Turned to one side it is 18', with the bucket turned under. With it flat, add another foot.

Just a few questions about the trailer. 1)Is it a tandem axle? 2) Do you know the weight ratings of the axles? The reason I ask is that most "camper frames" are not built to handle the weight of a tractor and attachments. My XG3025 TLB (MT225e) weighs just under 5800 lbs. I'm not sure if I would transport it on a "camper trailer". Just IMHO.

Good to know, The framing isn't setup yet, My plan is 2" angle all the way around with 2x10 flooring. The main frame where the axles are connected is 4" channel 3500lbs. axles with brakes on both axles. The trailer itself won't weigh much maybe a few hundred pounds maybe 600 at most. The weight shouldn't be an issue I was more concerned about the length.

I didn't realize how much length that BH added to the tractor. I figured the loader was around 4' give or take. So total length is 20', looks like I need to buy a bigger trailer.
