Sooner Or Later

Anyhoo, scoured the whole country within a 100 miles and these brackets are the only ones I could find that were even close. I kinda think that they maybe are for a John Deere 4020 or 3020 perhaps?

But, so help me, they are going on that IH tractor come he!! or high water. :>)

But, in a nutshell, I'm pulling a IAGary. :>)

I want mounts on two tractors. I'll haul and stack hay in the summer with the big tractor with the duals on. That way, I can carry two or three bales at a time (big hay fields).

In the winter tho, I want to use the hydro gasser. I just absolutely hate starting that big diesel when its cold and the little gasser hydro works so good feeding the critters.

Looks like the mounts aren't too far off for your tractor... just a few shims and maybe an extra plate or two welded on, eh?

Tricky part is the fore and aft mounting of that frame. It's got to be perfect so that the loader will drop right down into those "mounting pins" in the basket.

Kinda fun playin' with tho, ya know? :>)

Hey Allan;
You got a kindred spirit on this side of the Pond. A friend bought this Farmhand hi-lift loader off a Ford 5000 and like you spent a fortune on cutting discs & welding rods, and after a lot of head scratching & cussing fitted it to this 85HP Zetor Crystal tractor.
Always interested to see how you make something fit - keep them photos coming. By the way how many loader tractors do you run?
Is that snow on the edge of the track? Thought you would be basking in sunshine by now.
Cheers David

The snow and cold is the whole derned problem.

Got three loaders (only can use one at a time, tho) and my favorite far and away is the big F-10.

However, now I'm spoiled on the Hydro tractor (ain't worth a plug nickel for anything else), the cab with the heater and that silly front hang F-235 as well.

So, what's a guy to do? Just keep on hammerin' and nailin', I guess. :>)

Anyhoo, this loader is gonna live on that little hydro tractor..... ..one of these days.
