New Tractor Loader question.

[MOLINE_D]

We are looking in the future at replacing our loader tractor. It looks like a JD 5075m would fill our needs, since the 16sp transmission is one of the best offered for a 75HP tractor.

My question is, Who makes the best loader anymore? Is it best to just use the JD loader matched to the machine? , or is a Westendorf, Koyker, or any other better?
Is there any Loader Manufacturer with superior Serviceability with replaceable pins AND BUSHINGS built in?

Any horror stories of loaders collapsing due to bad design?

Thanks.

I have had 3 JD leaders in my life that matched the JD tractors they were on. Very little trouble. Just the normaal wear and tear stuff. No major failures in almost 50 years.

In my humble opinion, yes.

Neighbor has a 4052, 2016 JD R model (cab) and JD FEL. I have a red tractor with their FEL and my FEL has the Skid Steer dimensioned QD. That QD fits a variety of components manufactured by a variety of suppliers.....like I have pallet forks, bucket, and hay spike that get swapped frequently to support the task at hand. Upon looking at the JD component hookup to the loader on their JD, the hookup isn't the same. I don't like this arrangement.....but it's not my problem.

You can get SSQA on John Deere loaders if you choose. Naturally they offer their system as first choice.

Well if I were buying green, I certainly wouldn't limit my purchases.

The universal skid steer hook up is a lot nicer to shop for attachments. Up to what, about 75 hp?

Bigger tractors and you need a heavier way to attach stuff. The skid steer setup has its limits.

I got a New Holland tractor, the standard attachment pads are fairly skinny I guess. A cheaper round bale mover has wide vertical bar as the only back strut, they don’t work together without a little mod. Yet both are ‘standard’. Such as it is.

When I built my FEL, I got brochures from all of the companies that make them, sat down...............picked and chose the features I liked. Then made up my set of drawings.

Well I'm a STO. There's a place in the market place for both of us...BTOs and STOs.l

Same here, I moved up to the 60hp New Holland with quick tach, from the 27 hp NH pin on bucket, from the Farmall H with no power anything.

Still not big time anything.
