I just bought at auction a 3 point loader....it has a scoop that is 34" wide and has spikes for manure as well as the option of removing the spikes and attaching a dirt scoop. It has the word Fortier on it in 3 places. Very heavy built and in good shape. Anyone know anything about it.....what is the value.....who made it...how old..etc. I have tried to find it on the internet but finding nothing. If you can give me some info I would appreciate it.

Could it be a modified one arm loader. I do not know were you live, but one sold in western ny like you are talking about. It was a massy fergison modified to use on a 3 point.

sjh.....I know this thing has not been altered at all (it is all factory welded). It even folds up flat (for transport) where the top link hooks up. The main support arm is a good six inches thick and made of round pipe with side arms (that attach to the bucket)that are at least 4 inches thick. There is a chain that goes from the top link hook up down to the center of the main steel beam to adjust the bucket height. Hook up to the lift arms on the tractor can be done with hitch pins...just drop the lift arm in the center of each side and put in a normal pin (like you were pulling a hay wagon).I have painted it but the original color looks to be orange. I only paid $45 for this thing and was offered $200 before I loaded it....so I know I got a heck of a deal and it is a perfect size for what I am going to use it for.

Does it look like the one on this site?

I have seen one before, but they are few and far between as front end loaders are so much eaiser to operate.

You do not have as much power in reverse as forward to scoop material.

Fred.....it is similar to the one on the website you sent but much older. I have a 69 Ford 2000 gas and the only thing I need to use it on is a small run-in shed 12x16 and to pick up waste hay off of round bales and then drop all this on a trailer. This is the only reason that I wanted the 3 point hitch type....easy on and off and not overworked. Only have 15 acres plus I use the tractor and finish mower to do my yard so having a front loader is not practical due to bouncing it off of trees. Thanks for the info.

I remember seeing ads for them in the mid-late 50s. Didn"t raise too high, but enough to dump into most spreaders of the era. Cheaper than buying a real FEL. Also, most tractors did not have remote hydraulics to run a loader, but some had a 3ph.
