Ford 2110 LCG Tractor

Me and my husband have been searching for a tractor that can properly handle our Dearborn loader. We initially got the loader for either our 9n or 8n but got more replies saying to not overburden the n-series with a loader like this, than the replies we got that said it would be fine.

The majority of people who replied said to start with a tractor model ranging from the Ford 2000 to the 4000 series.

We came across this add on craigslist and just wondered if it would be a candidate for our loader and do these models of tractors have any problems. We looked up the meaning of LCG and looking like it means Low Center of Gravity.

Here are the pictures of our loader and the tractor from craigslist...WOW gotta love those rear tires!

WOW, Why don't you just chuck the whole idea and find yourself a good tractor and loader that is complete and you shouldn't have to try to hogpog this mess
together!! Your really asking for a "LOT" of work trying to put that thing together, and I doubt the LCG is compatible with that loader. Just my .02 cents
worth....Jim in N.M.

Because not everyone has the money to just go out and buy a tractor with a loader on it. It's common sense that if you had plenty of money, it would be easier to just go out and buy a tractor with a loader on it.

We got the loader itself for just 150.00 and seen it in working condition before they removed it from the seller's tractor, and so if we got this tractor in the pictures for 1000.00, and spent a 200-400.00 for misc things to get it mounted and working, that is WAY BELOW the cost of buying a tractor with a loader on it

do you know exactly what tractor your loader came off of? That 2110 should handle it but mounting will likely require some torch and welder work (depending on how long it is and what the front and rear mounts look like). What are you going to use for hydraulics on the loader?

With tires that wide you should have plenty of ballast if you load them!

Back many years ago when I was young and in college and dinosaurs roamed the earth and Ford 2000LCGs, 2110s and 231s were what decent golf courses might use. I happened to work at a golf
course with one of each of the above mentioned tractors, they were really a series the 2000LCG was the oldest and was replaced in the Ford line up by the 2110 which in turn was replaced by
the 231. Our 2000LCG was a diesel SlectOSpeed and it had a Ford 725 industrial loader. This tractor still had the narrow dueled turf tires on it and they weren't loaded. There was also a
55 gallon barrel full of cement that conveniently had a bar through it and a couple of pieces of steel that stuck out the top so you could attach it to the 3 point of the loader for
ballast. That still wasn't enough. The 2110 you're looking at has the later style turf tires on it, if they're loaded they should give you enough weight between them and a 3 point ballast
so you don't have to worry about the tractor doing a reverse wheelie on the front axle. The other issue you may have is the LCG tractor front end isn't that stout and if you do a lot of
heavy loader use be prepared to have to fix/rebuild it. I'm guessing your Dearborn loader is the same size or smaller than the Ford 725 loader.
