Hick Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Yeah, I know, wrong color! But what do you think of this approach? Hope the link works, but have the picture in case it does not. https://www.facebook.com/photo?fbid=583942663749814&set=pb.100064022555784.-2207520000. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris727 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Its lifting height is limited compared to a traditional loader and puts all of the weight at the very front of the machine. I would be curious about its stability. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
720nut Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Might be an alright approach but I'm with Chris , it's limitations far out weigh it's usefulness at aleast in my book I for one was hoping he had some other pictures of it actually doing something bucket looks to be entirely to big , even for a conventional loader. Just my $.02 Edited March 6, 2023 by 720nut 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SmilinSam Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) These types have been around for a number of years. Seen a few for sale locally. The one above looks heaver than most, but I would think it would be hard on the tractor over time and use. How to attach your Little Buck Loader - YouTube To me they have always looked like a disaster waiting to happen. Either wreck the loader, the tractor, or both. I've seen what people can do to Simplicity and Kwikway loaders trying to do more than they were designed to do. One of those people could polish off one of these in short order I would think.

Bill725 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 FEL engineered and designed to lift air. A snowplow with sides. For show only. If you ever lifted anything heavy the front wheel bearings would be screaming for help. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PhanDad Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Looks like a Johnny Bucket on steroids to me. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rbstuartjr Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Looks like someone put a bucket on a snowplow setup. That front axle wouldn’t be very happy for long. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CarlH Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 Looks like the hydraulics run off the Sundstrand charge pump. I don't see much lift capacity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AC710 Posted March 2, 2023 Share Posted March 2, 2023 (edited) Similar to a Bobcat "Toolcat" loader, only not engineered for load, height or machine. The bucket is nearly as big as that 318.
