Front-End Loader Looking for a loader for our Ford 3000.

[Wertzy]

Hello everyone. I was just curious as to where I could find a front loader for our Ford 3000? I've done some research and people have said its not the best tractor to have a loader on but it won't be getting used too heavily. Anyone have any input? I really appreciate the help. Thank you.

I would contact Westendorf loaders at 712-433-4444.


They make loaders superior to most tractor manufacturers, with more and different attachments and buckets.

I've been keeping an eye on craigslist but to no avail.

I will have to give Westendorf a call and see what they offer. Thank you.

Your Ford 3000 had many frame modifications. Ford made lots of changes over the years while the manufactured this tractor. You can see the different styles here. We make over 40 different loaders, we have several that will fit your tractor depending on the frame style (1, 2 or 3) that you indicate. You can see the options on our online loader selector based on the frame style you pick in the drop downs. The WL series is going to be your best match, as this is the 2WD loader that was designed back in the day when your tractor was brand new. It will feel and fit like it was designed for your tractor, not loose and sloppy or one that sits too far out front because it really is for a big FWA tractor. You can also check the online selector for fits if you find a used loader on craigslist or for sale at a farm auction. We still manufacture mounting brackets for all the fits we've done over the years - even ones back from the mid-sixties.
