Front-End Loader Hardy loaders

I'm looking for info on Hardy brand loaders (not the same as the sprayers Hardi). Is it canadian or american made? They don't seem to have a website. They make loaders for tractors all shapes and sizes.

The ones you're looking for are from Quebec. I can not find a site for them either. Try getting ahold of Bourbanais,or check the dealer brand area of the AgDealer www.agdealer.com

I own a Hardy loader, model ST85 (for Standard), which is mounted on my Belarus 525 tractor. They have a wide range of loaders, designed for tractors less than 20HP (model 25) up to 100HP (model 105). They do not have a web site and sell only through dealers. A call should get you information on the closest dealer. The loader is quick attach/detach, as it was demonstrated to me. I keep the loader attached at all times. There are several accessories available. A choice of buckets (snow, material w/wo "manure forks" and a manure bucket with a dirt plate (which turns the manure bucket into a material type bucket). Also offer pallet forks and round bale fork (these replace the bucket).

I have a Hardy Loader (I think it's a model 85) on a Zetor 5245. It has been an excellent loader. Lots of power, simple design. In 17 years I have had to replace seals in one cylinder once. I take it off when I am cutting hay to remove the weight from the tractor - It takes about 20 minutes and one wrench.
For what its worth. There are a couple of photos from this <A target="_blank" HREF=http://www.agdealer.com/>link</A> Type in Hardy Loader in the Equipment Search box on the left side
