Farmhand 22 loader attachments

Hey all. Does anyone know where to find bale forks for this loader? Or a place that makes a quick attach for it? Having a tough time finding anything, since it's only a single cylinder tilt. Thanks!
 
I tried finding some stuff for my old farmhand loader and everyone looked at me like I was looking for a gallon of metric unicorn pi$$ . These companies brag about being in business for 60 years but they haven?t seen a farmhand quick attach or ever even heard of it ?

I did some fabricating on mine and made a quick attach to match the one on my Oliver loader. That one has a Horst quick attach. I can switch anything I have from one loader to the other now. I made mounts and put two cylinders on it. That single cylinder set up pushes out against the end of the pin holes when you roll the bucket back and had worn the pin holes almost completely out. With two cylinders the way I have them,it pulls back against the top of the holes when I roll it back.

Not mine but this will give an idea of how we built ours using a universal attachment.
Once we had the mounting points were it worked good we welded the angles to the spears frame.
Not sure why they have the spike so low

We're now working on a quick attach plate for the loader to use the skid steer attachments we have.
 

Starting with a universal mounting plate like in the photo, weld on some mounting taps near the top to fit the loader, going to add another cross tube for strength and weld on tabs for the cylinder.
Use your old bucket for measurements on width and height.

Found on eBay for under $300
 
That would be to narrow for a farm loader, i think that's for a Bobcat Loader! I figured Westendorf out of Onawa Iowa had the best quick Attach system in the business bar none, will fit any loader that the same width, and providing it's got twin cylinder's on the loader on the top! Then u need the matching other half to weld on to the back of bucket!
 
Well i am not sticking up for Farmhand, but they were just a small Co, out of Hopkins Minnesota,they were first owned bu a Separator Co, and would steal a idea if it wasn't patented in a heartbeat !!
 
I bought an adapter sort of like that at a sale a year ago. As soon as it warms up more it and my loader tractor are going to a local welding shop. I have a Deere 46a loader and my bucket cylinders set inside or the boom. Shop says he will make it work. It will be nice to be able to use all of my buckets,bale spears and pallet forks on the tractor and the skid loader. Tom
 
Always seen a lot of farmhand stuff around here . I really like bucket quick attach ok the f11 loaders .

But thats a little 4-5 foot wide bucket, you push or carry snow with that, I am sorry but don't think much of that!
 
Thats only a 4-5 wide bucket, you'r going to move or haul snow with that little thing, i am sorry but i am not impressed!
 
That?s the original bucket it is small but still moves a low of snow I?m going to see if I can get it rebuilt for loading Dirt and rocks. I replaced it with an 8ft bucket
