I have the same question posted on the LS forum. That LS is a good tractor, but it seems to have a small community. hopefully I can figure out if Ansung ever built the NTC32 equivalent for LS. I will of course post my findings, I know others are also searching for loaders for older SCT that they own.

TC33D is a Shibaura and predates NH having sourced CUTs from LS. I doubt there's any NH/LS cross-compatibility in early millennial models.
Last year for TC33D ('03) is quite different than my '04 TC33DA. OP knows that. Some of us don't yet. :2cents:

I had a 1998 New Holland 1925 (34 hp) which is preceded the TC33. It had a Koyker 140 loader, and it worked well, Here is their site.
Model 145 | Sioux Steel Company

Thanks for that. Koyker like Woods has told me they are not building any loaders for my tractor. Woods even told be they are not building ANY loaders.
I will add the Koyker 140 to a list of loader to be on the look out for. Its looking like Ill be buying a brand new Westendorf 144. Ill let everyone know how it goes if I go that route. Westendorf loaders look like they are built very well but they are not cheap!

Nothing decent and new will be cheap.

That depends on the cost of the alternative that is acceptable to the OP.

Well, there's the inherited tractor or the estate sale bargain that is priced low because it lacks FEL.
I just reviewed my sales form for the NH I bought new. It'd have been $4500 less w/o a loader.
Some may question whether brand loyalty is cost effective in all cases.

Aftermarket loaders in the US are only available specifically for a particular tractor?
In my country, loaders are 90% of the cases, dealer installed options as we don't get OEM loaders. The OEM loaders are kind of rare. Mainly JD offers those.
Therefore, we're "stuck" with aftermarket loaders. Not a bad thing, they're actually very well made.
What happens is that they offer the same loader for all the tractors, just varying the size of the loader, capacity, etc accordingly to the size of tractor.. Then they just build the loader mounts accordingly to the tractor they are mounting the loader on.
For a 35HP tractor, this ends up around $3,000 to $3,300 for a complete installed loader with quick attach, hydraulic self-leveling and a bucket. Options like third function, soft ride, hydraulic quick attach are also available.
This way, they always have loaders for all tractors and just need to fab up the mounts. Yes, it does requires the tractor to be shipped to the loader manufacturer but being a small country, it's not that big of a deal.
