Buying Advice Deere 1026R...can't go wrong

Excuse me Eagle, is that a Summoner with dual Gausse rifles, and a rack of lrm's?

You would still have to push the levers or whatever you want to call them for it to release and allow the loader to "come undone". I guess it could happen but it would be pretty miraculous for both sides levers to get knocked into the off positions and the loader to fall down just right.

I meant that while the loader is off the tractor if the lift cylinders allowed the parked loader to slump then maybe you couldn't get the tractor close enough to connect the hyd lines... Probably not an issue though. Any loader would have the same problem if the storage stands sunk in sod, etc.

That parking bar thing looks a lot easier to use than the basket full of brackets and pins required for mine (and other makes also).

Here's a link to a nice pic of that loader with the storage stand down.

I see what you mean, didn't really think of that. Just have to hook the hydro lines up and lift the loader up before hooking up.

Too late - it has begun... Hey, I broke your finger only because you did not stand still. If you did what I said, you would not be crying about this twenty years later...:laughing:

Man, I forgot my manners! :ashamed:

Is that a dent I see in that garage gutter in that pic?
I own a gutter biz. First thing I notice on a home anymore.

Not at all. The loader stand is awesome. I left her in the garage this fall; when it was time to hook up for the winter, I drove straight in and closed the locks -- still sitting on the tractor! Connected the hydraulics and DONE. It was so easy (and I'm one of those guys who can screw up a cup of coffee ) :ashamed:

Attached a photo of a lock in the down position. Beauty, eh?
