Where do i get front end loader for to 20

I should probably keep my mouth (keyboard) shut
here, because I don't have a to20, but thought
I might be of some help..

I have a trip loader on a to35. The back of
every loader frame I have seen (all three of them
in my vast experience) bolts up to the bottom
side of the rear fender attachment bolts. Lots
of room for adjustment due to slots in the rear
arms of the loader frame, so I expect you'd
be all set there with any loader off a Ford
N. The front attachment on mine (again, to35)
is a horizontal plate that slaps up against the
bottom of a casting on the tractor just
to the rear of the front axle. The pin
that holds the front axle goes thru this
casting. Does the to20 have some heavy castings
up front to take the loads from the axle? Does
that casting have threaded (or maybe non-threaded)
holes? That's where your front loader mount
might bolt up. Chances are (and I could be
totally wrong here) that the to20-35 and N Fords
are identical here. If not, seems like it would
be not too tough to graft something on here.

My neighbor had an N with a pipe-frame loader
with hydraulic up/down on the frame and bucket.
He dug a huge hole in a bank behind his place,
pulling out fill to smooth his driveway (his
theory: a New England dirt driveway, if absolutely
level, will accumulate very little ice in the
winter). I have had zero success doing same with
a trip loader - you must need the hydraulic power
tilt on the bucket, and power down in order to dig. Even as it is, the loader is endless help
in lifting boulders I have pulled out of the field, taking big outboards off transoms, etc..
As my neighbor says if you have a job to do
that involves heavy lifting, a loader "Takes
the curse out of it."

Final thought. You probably can run the loader
off the internal pump if you want. It'll be slow
and you'll have to have the clutch out, but
it'll save you buying a pump.

Since the to20s and Ns are so similar (though the 20s are clearly better) I wouldn't be
surprised if an N loader was a bolt-on.

I agree with you on the bucket tipping, but the Wagner has a power 2 way tipper but with only one ram mounted in the middle to do the work. I can dig with it if I tip it. An additional improvement would be a power down on the lift as this has a gravity drop on the main lift rams. They tend to lift whenever the bucket's trying to dig into the ground. I'm considering replacing the main rams with double acting rams and a new control when and if I can every come up with the near $1000 for the parts.

I really recommend a front mounted pump for this thing (Wagner included it) as it's REAL tough to use the unit effectively with the clutch going in and out.

Loaders useful ???? You bet your bippy ! I feel helpless if the unit is out on loan to one of my kids for any time at all or if it's laid up for any reason. I use it for everything. I cleared the land I built on, hauled or moved literally hundreds of logs. I use it for grading the drive, lifting engines, standing in the bucket and trimming trees, filling with lawn rakings, moving rocks, moving firewood and snow removal, just to name a few. I can't imagine how I got along without it.

Re: New England dirt driveways - mine's almost 500 feet of dirt. I think your neighbor's right !
