I can share a little trick I figured out to get a pretty good idea of the dimensions of something.
First, find a picture that's as close to straight-on from the side you want to measure. In this case you'd want to measure from the side, and there are plenty of side pictures of this model tractor with a loader on google.
Second, find something in the picture of a known dimension. For example, a wheel rim. According to research the front wheel rims on these tractors are either 15" or 16" so there's your known dimension. Call it 16".
Third, get a 3x5 (or larger) card and a pencil to make a scale. Now you can do this directly on your computer monitor or print the picture out on a piece of paper. Line the edge of the card along the center of the front wheel rim and mark each edge, move the card over so the second mark is lined up with the other edge of the rim and mark again, and again, until you've marked the width of the 3x5 card and made yourself a little "ruler."
Now, measure the tractor. Figure out how many 16" units long it is, then do the calculations.
I did basically the same thing using paint. As seen below the tractor is about "10 rims" long. 160", or 13'4". I would round up to 14' just to be safe, or even 15'. The bucket can be curled forward to make the tractor a few inches shorter, or possibly removed if it is quick-attach, and tucked under the loader arms to save space.
