Trip bucket loaders are definately still handy tools to have. I would suggest if you are getting an IH brand for your M that you get a #30 or 31 power loader and stay away from the 33A loader. We have a 33A sitting in the scrap pile from using it on our M. The pipe bar design of this loader is just not beefy enough to handle the power of an M. We had no trouble using this loader on our H, in fact it was on it for close to 20 years, but on the M it couldnt handle the extra power and would twist when you pushed into a pile of snow. The only nice thing that we liked about our 33a was how fast we could mount it, about twenty minutes start to finish. The #30 and 31 loader are by comparison much beefier. The channel iron frame extending to the axle is heavy enough to move anything the tractor can handle. We have a 31 mounted to our H, in fact I used it today to move dirt that washed in our drive from some recent storms. We picked ours up for $125.00 with the slip pan for the bucket. We also plow with this loader in the winter with a regular IH blade that bolts to the loader after you take off the bucket, it will move anything we ask of it with ease. We picked up the blade for 200.00, if you can find one they are worth the investment. It is a little more clumsy than the 33A but I think it will last alot longer doing the same heavy work. Good luck and have a good day.
