Loaders

[BrianS]

I would really like to put a loader on one of my tractors (my wife thinks I'm nuts because I really don't need one) I have a 912-H and a 1966 Landlord. Has any one had any luck with loaders on tractors this small? I have beed looking at some of the CAD Plans equipment as an options. I would appreciate any thoughts. Brian

I have thought about the same for the last 30 years since Dads wonderboy 700. Now that I have bought a700 myself I would love to have 1. I use my bobcat (bobs a good old boy) It is much more useful but it would still be nice to have 1. Let me know if you come up with something

Brian, I have a L10 loader on a B112 AC and it will lift about 400lbs. The L10 loader has a dump bucket and single acting lift cylinders which limit its usefulness. If you get a loader make sure it has hydraulics on the bucket and double acting lift cylinders. I intend to modify my L10 loader in the future to have these features. As fars as size goes they are big enough to do garden work of moving dirt, mulch, gravel, rocks, etc. around the homestead. I use it for all kinds of lifting like moving tractor attachments or lifting something heavy up on a shelf in the garage, it gives me an excuse to play with the tractor. I wouldn't however contract out to dig basements unless you could find someone that didn't mind waiting a few years. Tim
