I just purchased a Satoh S370D Beaver Tractor. I'm looking for a compatible Front-end loader for this sub-compact diesel tractor - make, model, how to mount, any other info. I can get. I'm new with tractors, so any advice would be welcome.

The two major domestic sources for loaders I know of are Koyker and Coldwater. Koyker doesn't show anything currently for the Satoh S370, but it is possible they just don't have it listed. Their loaders could be made to fit by a decent fabricator to build brackets. Coldwater makes one that will fit. The S370D is a small machine, and can be easily overloaded. They are well-built and tough, but it is something to keep in mind. You will need heavy ballast off the rear three point hitch to minimize the strain on the front axle.
Thanks, I appreciate you taking time to pull the info. for me. I'll check into them. I've heard that you have to take it easy, that some have broken their frames in 2 on these. I don't plan to use it for heavy excavation, just moving firewood, snow, or small easy digging jobs.
