Here it is leaving ColdWater. 7 days left time for a count down.

You will love your new Coldwaer loader. I ordered one about 3 years ago for my 2220D. Easy installation and quality product. I moved that loader to my 240D last year and still love it. Great investment.

I have been adding up all the jobs to do as soon as it's on. Everyday I keep finding more and more uses for it. You think a one man install or 2?

I'm sure two people will make things easy however I completely disassembled my loader to have most of the parts powder coated. The only thing I didn't remove was the actual front arms and bucket. I used a floor jack to help with the cross bar under the tractor. Worst case I think even a wife can help for a few of the bits.
Take your time, don't rush and before you know it, you'll be tearing the *** out of your yard!

Great thanks for the info !

Most importantly, while waiting for your new loader, please read-up on as much loader-safety info you can find. A bucket with a load alters the forces acting on your tractor, and you must learn what to expect and how to properly react. There is plenty of excellent safety information on this site and others. Secondly, a loader will "save" your back, and your back will thank you. Best wishes indeed!

Yep you will really love the loader. I call mine the diesel powered wheelbarrow! Nice pile of tillers he has there too...

I installed the loader without any help. I'm sure an extra set of hands would be helpful but you should be able to DIY. I did not have any one available to assist me and I did it in less than a day.
