jwal10 said: (quoted from post at 08:30:42 09/13/08) I don't know what you have for a tractor but I have a 454 IHC with a Dunham Lehr loader that comes off in 2 minutes without even getting off the tractor. 2 quick releases, back up 6", turn the loader frame down for the ground support, back up a little more and uncouple the hyd. hoses, good to go. I bought the tractor used in 1976 and the loader new. I don't need a loader much for the summer but if I do, no problem. I leave it on for the winter. It all stores in the shed whether off or on. Great little loader too....James
I've got a IHC D326 German made and is real close in size/HP to an 8N (26HP w/ 3cyl diesel).
I'm sure I could get one of the front loader consoles that are easy on/off, but don't want to spend the money. When we bought our place, there was a big sh$t pile that had to be taken away. I needed a tractor to take care of horse related chores, and I fell into a good deal. I convinced myself that I needed a front loader and drove over southern Germany to get parts together and had my loader. It was fine for what I needed to do and will handle a 6ft round bale (hard to steer). But, when I took everything offa couple of weeks ago, it's like I have a new tractor. Don't really want to put it back on and probably won't really need a loader again (unless I don't have one).
Space is limited for me, so I need to stay to a minimum on equipment. I'll set myself a 60 or so mile and a reasonal buck amount limit on looking and maybe by the time I find something, I'll have decided that I don't need it. I have container that holds a cubic meter that mounts on 3pt that is reinforced so you can back it into a manure (or loose material) pile, which is probably all I really need anyway.

Today's Featured Article - Restoration Story: Fordson Major - by Anthony West. George bought his Fordson Major from a an implement sale about 18 years ago for £200.00 (UK).
