JD 540M Loader with Global Carrier Questions

[workinonit]

How many chicken houses do you have? It's nice to have compatible tractors and loaders. Now with the global carriers it makes everything a carbon copy.

I’ve got 153k Chickens total in 6 houses.

Does anybody know if H260 & H340 carriers will interchange ?

Does anybody know if H260 & H340 carriers will interchange ?

I can give you the measurements tomorrow. For the bolt diameter, I may have to get a close guess.

I took a skid steer carrier off a 540M (Same as H260) I bought & a buddy is wanting it for his H340.

I think it’ll fit

The inside width between the loader arm is 38", the outside is 44 1/2", the bolt distance is 10 1/4" and the bolt diameter is 1 3/4".
I'm usually a metric guy and tried to get the imperial reading as good as possible.

I hope it helps

Bolt or Pin diameter ?

 

[Bavarian]

Pin diameter.

 

[Bavarian]

I see, I posted " bolt diameter". It should say "pin". I didn't take the snap ring out, but I assume the tiny edge outside the ring is the real diameter of the bore already.

My pins are about 35mm or 1-3/8” so it probably won’t fit the H340
