I need info on a freeman trip loader. I have a trip loader that I want to put on my MF 35. Not sure if I have all the parts. I am missing the Hydrolic lever. Do the hydrolics operate off of remotes? Is there a hydrolic pump that can be installed on my pto?

Thanks

CJ

Two years ago I had a Freeman loader adapted to fit a MF35. It had previously been installed on a Ferguson TEA20, so my friend lengthened the adjustable frame a bit and then started cutting and welding plates and braces until he had a structure strong enough to take three new double-acting cylinders. He also built a beam to cross underneath the engine to support the vertical arms on the frame. Because there wasn't enough room for me to slide between the loader frame and the left rear wheel, he cut that support off and moved it a foot forward. It makes the loader look a bit lopsided, but access to the tractor seat is very easy and that is worth a lot in safety and convenience.

Hydraulic power still comes from the diverter, with the transmission as the only reservoir. That seems to work fine as long as the diameter of the cylinders isn't too large.

The pump is slow, but I don't mind that for the kind of lifting I do: timbers, logs, rocks, machinery. The loader will lift all the front axle wants to handle. 24' beams out of a barn we demolished are no problem for the loader. Boulders which are the full of the manure bucket can be lifted and carried just fine.

The job took 24 hours of labour, with a total cost of about $2000 CDN.

cj315,
I'm no hydraulic expert but...
There are a couple of ways to run that loader.
Maybe the easiest - if your tractor already has a remote is to tap into that. Most remote valves are adjustable for either a 2 way cylinder (Dual Action or DA)or a one way (Single action or SA). Most trip loaders only have one way - power up and gravity down.
Usually though the hyd pump on these older tractors are not high volume so your loader will be a bit slow if run off the remote.


The other way to do it is usually from a front mounted pump. Pump runs off the crankshaft in the front of the tractor. You put a "stinger" through the sheet metal to the crank pully and have a bracket to mount the pump on.
Then you will need a resivoir for the oil - often the frame of the loader itself is built as the resivoir - and a hydraulic spool valve to run the loader. Again on most trip loaders you would use a SA or single action valve to lift and and let gravity drop the bucket.
I have a smaller Ford that I have a front loader on and it works off the remote. It does not have down pressure but never having had a loader before I find it the handiest tool ever for lifting and hauling stuff and loading things and even a little dirt work on occasion.
I don't know how I lived without it.
