Has anyone had any experience with a shawnee front end loader made in Topeka Kansas? One came with my tractor. I can't find them on the internet-must be out of business.

Hi Randy,
I have a TO35 with a Shawnee Loader and Backhoe. the backhoe is so basic it swings from left to right via a hydraulically powered chain drive! It's heavy duty though and when I first saw it all installed on the tractor I was amazed such a small tractor could handle so much equipment. It does though. I think the beauty of the system is in the way the tractor is cradled within the structure of the loader/backhoe frame. No matter how much weight you are lifting or how much you are digging all the stress is on the Shawnee system not on the 35. The exception would be the front axles and wheels. I've had huge boulders in the loader ...so heavy I had to extend the backhoe to get enough weight off the front wheels to turn (even when assisting with the brakes). Even when doing that the clearance between the tires and spindles on the front end stayed normal.
They truly are the "little tractor that could"!

You're right ..Shawnee seems to be out of business. The good thing is that everything is just basic steel, chain, hydraulics, pins etc. so no real problem finding parts. Most hydraulic shops can service the spools and if you can weld or have a friend that can ...your rig should go forever!
All the best!
Jay
