Used 'em to feed silage (from 'pit' silos) 'til we quit silage and went to big round bales in '85 or '86. Took the buckets off and have had (homemade) bale forks on ever since. They'll handle a 24 inch/14 foot red oak log, but you don't wanna be bouncing around with it on there. Ended the problems with the front bracket bolts a looooooong time ago: [Reply]   [No Email]

My dad bought the first one (I was still working for him) and I don't remember why he chose that one; probably a combination of.....it fit the tractor/it was heavy enough for what he wanted and ...........it was easy on and off. They can be mounted/dis-mounted in 5 minutes or less. I bought the tractor and loader from his estate after he died. [Reply]  [No Email]
