14LA Loader Compatibility

[blackjack]

Does anyone know for sure if the new 14LA loader will fit the current model of TC33s, or will it only fit the new model of tractors?

There will be no backward compatiblility because the front end on the class 2 tractors is being upgraded to handle the additional lifting capacity of the 14la loader.

spencer, Does this mean there will be tweaking done to the current tractors or will there be a major redo of the class 2's

spencer200,

Had a peak yet at the 14LA spec sheet? Would like to know the simple stuff - breakout, lift cap, etc.

Appreciate your insights and advance info.

 

[spencer200]

they are getting a new front end and new hydraulic system every thing else will be the same

 

[spencer200]

nothing yet but i would expect them to be upgraded to 1000-1200 pounds to compete more with what the competition offers

 

[stvman]

Any chance of them going to the two pedal hydro?

 

[blackjack]

No, they will continue to use the "rocker" style pedal. (bummer).
I've also heard that the grill will be modified to look more like the NH TG series.

JD has a patent on their Twin Touch (c) hydro pedals so I don't see another manufacturer offering that type of system unless they pay JD licensing fees for it (if JD is willing to license it at all).

Actually, NH already has the separate forward and reverse hydro pedals on their larger CUTs (the class III's: TC35/TC40/TC45). So I doubt there is a licensing issue if they wanted to go to the same design on their smaller units.
