Hey Allan in NE - here is a REAL front hanger for

We handle two bales at a time with this one regularly and haven't had a lick of trouble with it yet. The Case front end is pretty heavy duty, and nice wide tires up front for floatation on this one. We try to keep a bale on the 3-point spear when loading in the field to minimize stress on the front end.

This one is the back up tractor during the winter, just too big to get around the corrals and the duals are way too hard to be putting on and off all the time (full cast centers!). Just thought I would share - I'll get better pics when I'm home in a couple weeks.

Just thinking 'bout you and these Gawwd-fersakin' loaders. Guess I'm just stuck back in the past. :>)

Yeah, That Allied is what Gary over in Iowa has. They really look like the ticket to me. I really like the way they mount. Up high or something.

Now, about this silly Farmhand. I did what ya told me and finally got the old beast on there, but I'm tellin' ya, just don't know if I'll ever get used to these front hangers. The tractor doesn't even act like it's on there, but it sure bothers me. :>)

Every blessed thing is riding on that front axle including the weight of the loader and it's mounts too. Think I just gotta put on that little F-11 grapple head; if for no other reason than to make me feel better. That 8 foot bucket just seems "too darned big" to me. :>(

Good news is I finally figured out the silly tire "bounce" I was getting from these goofy radial tires going down the road. I put the rears up to 21 lbs and the fronts to 40 lbs and she rides smooth as a Cadillac now. :>)

I will say that is a big bucket on that loader.

How wide is that thing?

Gary

I do like that unobtrusive view tho. Maybe I'll get used to the darned old thing.

Beats the heck out of the H and F10 Grandpa fed with! Of course he only had 25 cows to take care of... :o)
