Putting a FARMHAND F-11 loader on an 826

John826diesel · Oct 3, 2011

I have a farmhand loader im buying from a guy. The loader is currently on an old worn out M with a narrow front. The loader has dual cylinders for the bucket,and the main cylinders seen to be in really good shape.... What are these loaders going for these days? I was wondering how hard it would be to retrofit it on my 826... LOt more stable tractor with a wide front and power steering!!! Anyone do anything like this before?? looks a little to big for an M and it goes about 14' in the air!

I watched an F-11 sell a couple weeks ago for $3500. Was basically brand new. The F-11 will reach right at 21 feet in the air, and are an awesome loader, although not necessarily the strongest. They will work on an 826, but use reason when you are using it. I think Allen has one on his H, and he can give you a better idea of what it takes.

I think the frame rail spacing width is the same on the 826 and the M.

You may have to make some changes where it mounts to the axle, because the 826 has a larger hexagon shaped axle housing.

Other than that I think it'll work great, as long as you limit yourself to loads an H could handle.
