Does anyone know what brand of loader this is? Any experiences using one? I recently bought one just like it and think it is one of the more unusual designs out there. I know it is not the heaviest built loader out there, but with any luck it can do some heavy lifting for me.

The placement of the heavy cross piece towards the rear pivots or connection points to me would make it more of a dozer blade than a loader in my opinion. There may be something I am not seeing about how it would mount and function. No idea on the brand either. What I am saying is it cannot lift very high before the cross piece hits the bottom of the machine it is mounted on.

Not sure if it is even all there. Pass it by.

Looks like the loader bucket must have been quite a ways out in front of the tractor, which wasn't unusual for "manure loaders" "back in the day".

Here's a video of something SIMILAR... https://youtu.be/t50GXbhMTFo

On the other hand, DEERE (and probably others) made "manure loaders" that stuck way out from the BACK of the tractor... https://i.ytimg.com/vi/8l5Aq-2Xb_E/maxresdefault.jpg

I don't see a loader in those pictures.

Looks about as useful as an N series ford with a loader on.

All the pieces are there. As I said this one is not mine just identical to it. The entire boom is out in front of the tractor so it adds about 8 ft to the overall length of the tractor and it will raise up to about 8ft. The cross member clears the front of the tractor by 4ft. I would just like to know more about this style of loader, since it looks like a design that was short lived and could easily be over stressed by the lack of adequate bracing.

Your video of the front mount manure loader is very similiar to this loader. Do you know any other history of the Manure loaders? As the video shows the loader beats a scoop shovel but sure adds length to the tractor.

Definitely a manure bucket. Has the extension on the front of the bucket attached by angle iron braces. Just like the bucket that was on my old IH 460. Sold it to a guy at Inman who sold it to someone else but can't say that is the same one unless they rebuilt the bucket I broke trying to dig dirt.

Manure buckets won't dig their way out of a wet paper bag when it comes to dirt. Looks like it has a single action cylinder. Will pick up but uses the weight of the bucket to go down. Totally worthless when I was trying to use it to drive fence posts. Bucket didn't have enough weight to try to hammer a post down.

Won't pick up a big bale of hay but I could run the bucket under a bale, chain it to the loader, and back around dragging the bale into the corral.

I'm guessing they made those manure buckets long and narrow for running into the outside entrances of pig pens and cleaning them out.

Guess it depends on what you are putting it on and what you will use it for. Looks like they will charge more to load it for you than it is worth.
