DL 95 vs DL 100 loaders for GC series

[AxleHub]

I'm a little late at recognizing something relating to the dl100 vs dl95 fel. Units. Here it is just 9 months later I recently saw a you tube video I'd never seen before from end of july 2014. It was comparing the dl100 to the dl95 and why MF chose the DL95 in early 2014 to replace the dl100.


I remember many claiming the specs on the dl95 were inflated or inaccurate. But now I know why they are not only accurate but why the dl95 has 870 pounds of lift and the dl100 has 680. Why? Because the dl95 is built with larger piston sized hydrauliics for the 2 push and the 2 pull units. Greater diameters and surface areas than the dl100. That explaiins alot. That same you tube video explains the makeup of the dl95 bucket edge compared to the dl100 and also that the new crossing tube location actually improves fel strength to maintain arm alignment. In other words the dl95 wasn't chosen for cost reasons but for strength and improvement reasons on any gc1700 units.

Axle... Most likely Massey/AGCO chose another vendor, in this case ALO-Quicke, because their previous long-time vendor, Soo Steel, was closing shop. I doubt it has much, if anything, to do on the improved specs on the DL95 vs DL100. Keep in mind, the older DL130 has better spec than the DL135 that replaced it.

Most likely it's a "just so happens to be" scenario with the 95 vs 100.

Greetings TSO,

You may be correct . . although I thought Soo only moved . . Not closed. But my point is that numerous posters claimed the dl95 loader was "less", "not more". They claimed the numbers were false or inflated.. They claimed it wasn't possible. When I even ran tests they said I was doing something wrong in my testing. But the DL95 is the real deal . . an improved loader that surpasses the performance of its competitors in several cases.

In the scut category being able to lift 200 pounds more with a fel than previously . . and do it safely . . .is a big change . . a 35% performance improvement. The dl130 and dl135 is a ehole different category imo.

Hey guys I don't know if you can help me out but I'm trying to adapt a Massey DL 100 or use on a older Kubota tractor does anyone know Orkin send me some pictures of the mouths connecting the tractor to the loader arms?
Thanks
