hough H25

Just ran across an article on these front loaders, I was wondering if there are any out there for sale, and if they were a decent machine. Nimble or awkward to operate. Thanks Dan

I operated an H25 for a couple summers when I worked at a concrete plant in the early 70's. It was a handy little machine for small jobs both outside and inside the plant. Nimble, and plenty of power for it's size.

Steering (manual) was a little hard with the bucket empty. But with the bucket loaded with aggregate steering was easy. Only real problem was restarting a warm engine. But I'm sure a tune-up and perhaps a 12 volt conversion would have cured that issue.

A decent-looking H25 sat in a contractor's yard here in town for a couple years. I was tempted to inquire whether it might be for sale. But it disappeared before I could come up with an excuse to buy it that would also satisfy my wife...
