John Deere 5065e

[Scott 730]

And even further to my last post - I just checked the manual for the 5065E and it has the same recommendation:

Another owner without an operators manual??

I have the owner's manual. I guess I figured "loader work" included a lot of forth and back activity. Cleaning box stalls, cleaning up cow yard, etc. I use the loader for cleaning up brush, carrying firewood from pole shed to the house. And, with the snowplow blade on the FEL plowing our driveway. Also, loading firewood onto skidsteer trailer.

Tractor is noticeably shorter and easier to maneuver when loader is off the tractor.

FYI. The picture is me helping (I get the wood for firewood) my sister remove a hickory tree she had cut down by a tree service. The junky looking house is her neighbor's house.
