Buying a NH/Ford 1720 4x4 that needs a loader. Any recommendations on brand? Will be used for light farm work, moving compost, etc. No 1 ton pallets or anything excessive. Anyone think there's a #7108 loader NIB hiding in a dealer's dungeon out there? Thanks! I've enjoyed reading reviews for this tractor from others on here. Can't wait to pick it up!

Enjoy the tractor. We've been using Ford on our farm over four generations. As to a NOS loader, might be a tough one, but hey, you never know. The 7310 loader on our 3930 was made for Ford by Schwartz in 1995, they went out of business some years back. Check the options for a new/used loader manufacturer with specs that work for you. You can always paint it blue.

look at Westendorf loaders at "www.loaders.com". They will paint it any color you want.

My dad has a Ford 1700 with a Woods FEL that he's happy with. He got the FEL about eight years ago and put in on the tractor he's had for about 30 years. The installation went smoothly. Since the FEL was painted blue from Woods, it matches the tractor.
