Ford 7106 vs Ford 7108

Can someone tell me the actual differences between these two loaders?

Are they physically the same size?

Does the 7108 have larger bore cylinders?

My brother bought a Ford 1510 that has a 7108 loader on it, and the loader operates very slowly, like the flow rate of the hydraulics is incompatible with that loader or something...

I know that tractor is supposed to have a 770 A or B loader, but not sure if the 7108 loader on that 1510 is slow due to the loader model itself not being compatible with a 1510, or there is some other problem with the hydraulics.

I'm wondering if a 7106 would operate differently on that same tractor due to less oil volume required to run the loader.

I always seem to ask the hard questions... :ashamed:

A 7106 is too small & light for a 1510.
You won't find factory made brackets to match a 7106 to a 1510.
A 7106 will move faster, and lift and curl less than a 7108 given an oil supply of equal volume and pressure.

Thanks,

So basically a 7106 is for 1120-1220 only?
