260 woods/dual loader?

[caseyc]

my 706 gas with a IH 2000 loader isn't cutting it anymore. it's hard on gas and it does't handle the round bales very well. everytime i turn the key there's something wrong lately too. i know what i can sell it for and i can get a wood/dual 260 quick tach for about half of that. it came off a 1066 so it will go right on my 766. can anybody give me any pros and/or cons about this loader? it will only see heavy use for about a month or two loading round bales in the summer. i use a loader very little the rest of the year, and the skidloader is there for that.

The 255/260 replaced the 205/210 loaders if I remember correctly. There were some problems with the 205/210 but the 255/260s are pretty good. We've got a couple of neighbors who have the 255 (non-self level) and they have been good loaders as far as I know.
