Best loader for TN60a ???

[hollowcd]

Can anyone give me an idea on what the best loader is for an 05 TN60a? From what I have seen I think that there is more than 1 option but I am not very famiiar with the loaders. I know that the 32lc is pretty common, but I didnt know what other options there was. Is there a quick attach loader you can drop and back away from that is pretty time friendly in attaching and unhooking? Thanks

It looks like the 810TL may be another option??

Look at the Bush Hog 4045.

You might want to look around in the 'attachments' forum section. I think there are several brands out there. And at least a couple of different methods of attachment (do a search for 'TN' in this section and you will find a couple of discussions on this). Tn 55-75 are all the same. The only difference is if it is an 'S' model (S for Supersteer). They use a slightly different loader.

Then you need to know if you have any hydraulic remotes. 2 are the minimum. They can be mounted on the rear, or mounted under the joystick area (much preferred). Does yours have a factory joystick? Loaders will need to be optioned with one if it doesn't. A 3rd remote can be added later if you want to add a hydraulic device to the loader (grapple hooks, hydraulic post hole digger, etc). Remotes are not cheap.

Another suggestion: skid steer type quick attach bucket/implement attachment. Really improves the options down the road (you can buy or even rent attachments from your local Bobcat or construction rental companies). Forks for example -- they make moving hay or lumber, or all kinds of stuff really convenient.

Yes it has the joystick with the mid mount scv under the joystick. I am definitely npt opposed to the aftermarket loaders, just do not know much about them. Thanks!!

Really the main goal is quick attachment and capacity. I would like a quick attack bucket as well as a quic attach loader so that everything is easy to take off and re-attach, while still having good loader capacity.

Your local Westendorf dealer will have the most accurate quote - however a quick ball park price for the entire package (loader, hoses, mounts, 72" bucket, snap-attach, power-mount (quick loader dismount- 1 minute without tools or stands), manifold and indicators) averages $5900 to $6500 depending on bucket ugrades or options you may want to add.

Holy cow these units are pricey, all of them, not just certain brands. Unfortunately the wallet will probably only allow for the used market, but it is starting to look like finding a needle in a haystack when it comes to used loaders.
