western iowa,by Denison | The original poster had a great question-he has a tractor he wants to keep, doesn't do much loading and is presently using a skid loader-my best advice-fine a used 843 loader-they can be bought for $10,000 to $20,000 use it and see how you get along-if your loader work grows you can always buy a pay loader-a pay loader is great-but you know your tractor and a simple loader attachment will work in your conditions-The power shift will be fine and common sense will get all your work done-when I was young we loaded feed with a 1650 oliver gas tractor(66hp)-we averaged a 1,000 hours a year on a clutch we replaced it every other month as we seemed to go through them, we didn't have fwd.-wore out a lot of chains, clutch's , and rear tires-What better way to make use of a tractor sitting idle-plus the pay loader will not pull loads and are slow transport speed-all for a pay loader-common sense and money comes first-plus your John Deere has a smother shift then the early 8,000's
looks like a better deal then a trip bucket stan hoist loader I started on! | |
