Thanks for sharing.

John deere had something like that in the 30s, EARLY 40s. But the bucket would slide back to the tractor on the boom. It was built so that the operator sat an a seat facing the boom. The boom could be swung right to left. The farmer backed the tractor centrally in the middle of the pile of rap, got on the rear seat and operated it by cable. I don't know if it operated by pto or pulley. It wasn't popular, so they invented the front mounted scoop, which was more so.

I guess I don't understand this, what is the advantage over a front bucket loader, like I have and this, other than I would have to be cranking my neck around the whole time?

FarmboyBill 02/25/14 09:35 PM

I just went to U Tubes to see if I could find one. Couldn't. I only saw one, I think in a mag, and I imagine it was Antique Power

$$$$$......understand ?

This is for folks that don't HAVE a front loader.....though I'd think between the cost of this implement and the chiropractor, the front end loader would be looking cheaper. :D

This would only work on a very level surface. You would not be able to ''dig'' since it is a trip type bucket. It would be very frustrating to try and do anything beyond some very basic loading.

simi-steading 02/26/14 09:50 AM

Nope, but since I can't find a loader for my tractor, I think I just might have to build me something like it..

FarmboyBill 02/26/14 11:02 AM

Heck, I can find a loader for my 48 H and 39 JD

simi-steading 02/26/14 11:08 AM

I'm looking for a loader for a Ford 2000.. hard to find, and if you do find one, the owners believe their beat to crap pile of scrap iron is made of gold and platinum...

Simi

Have you tried Koyker http://www.koykermfg.com/index.php/p.../loaders/info/

I have one of their loaders.

simi-steading 02/26/14 05:00 PM

No I hadn't. Never heard of them.... I'll look close at those, but I was hoping to find something used so that someone else has eaten up the new price deflation...

FarmboyBill 02/26/14 05:26 PM

yer gonna have to make up your mind/ U assay alla the used ones the owners think are made of gold, and, you don't want a new one cause the used ones will be cheaper???

simi-steading 02/26/14 06:37 PM

There's a difference between taking a massive new price depreciation or paying a little more of a fair price for a used one that doesn't need to be completely rebuilt... compared to the one's I've looked at who wanted an inflated price for something that had to be completely rebuilt..

That's the other hard part.. finding one that hasn't been abused.. Abused have been the only one's I've found so far..

I have a rear-mount bucket, but mine articulates a little better.

Interesting to look at . . . .but it makes me appreciate my front end bucket all the more........

all the weight on the end of a long boom . . .no wonder it never was popular

FarmboyBill 02/27/14 10:19 AM

OR that the bucket ever got big

I agree, but mine was a gift horse.. .you can't beat a free tractor, loader or not..

fordson major 02/27/14 05:23 PM

............Now , I understand , WHY , someone invented the frontend loader ! , fordy

fordson major 03/01/14 09:05 AM

one thing I will mention is the poor operation technique he is using, never travel with any load lifted like this. acts as a fulcrum and can flip a tractor either with a
front end loader or a load on the rear

There is no roll back on the bucket is why he is doing this. With this setup you can only have the bucket in a level position. That is the reason you could only use it on material that is already in a heap. It has a very limited use. I wonder what he used to pile the material that he is loading?
