Trailering, need dimensions please

[ukwildcat87]

Good morning from the Bluegrass state, I'm about 1 a month or two from purchasing my RK. Still torn between 55 or 37. One of the factors is trailering, I need the length of the 37 and the 55, from front to back including loader, as it would sit on a trailer. Not planning on a trailer purchase at this time, as I have a 16 footer. Help me out guys.

Thanks

I would suggest NOT buying a tractor to fit your trailer,..... but, if necessary, buying a new trailer to fit your new tractor.
Buy the MOST tractor for your potential needs.
Then .....if your trailer is not big enough, sell your trailer, and buy a bigger trailer.
Tractors are a much bigger investment than trailers.
You NEED to get the tractor you REALLY NEED/WANT!

Thanks, but still need dimensions. I really don't need 55, I just like having additional capability, same reason I have a Farm Boss Chainsaw when a smaller one would do.

If you go to the RK tractors web site, the dimensions are listed there.

Trailers are like pole barns - never quite big enough.

All, if I wanted comedy I'd look for comedy. I was asking a simple question merely in the interest of timesaving, stopping at RK with a tape measure is not in my plan for the near term. I had hoped an owner would come up on the net with actual facts. Oh well, have a great Friday.

You got the help you wanted your just too lazy to go look for it. Scroll down on each page, it gives you every dimension and weight you could want. You got time to tell people something here but not to find what you want? You're welcome.

you were looking for timesaving...by expecting some other owner to take time out of his / her day and go personally measure their tractor and get back on here and report it to you....when you couldn't even take the time to review the RK web site spec sheets. smh.

And to be fair...lots of considerations to be taken into account in addition to just the length with a FEL bucket attached. Such as total weight, (tires loaded? unloaded?), hauling with other attachments such as a finish mower, is your trailer single or double axel...because you'll need to be able to position the tractor for the appropriate tongue weight and balance...even if you could squeeze it onto an existing trailer bed.

There are lots of very experienced and smart people here that can help you make a wise investment and an informed opinion. If you respect them and their time, its usually an extremely helpful bunch.
