Koyker 80 or 120 for 1500D

glgdiggs · Mar 5, 2005

Anybody have an opinion on which loader would be better for this tractor?

80 is plenty big . The 120 is oversize for it.

Ditto with Len!

Ditto here too.
The 1500 front end will last longer with the 80 loader

The 80 is a perfect match for the 1500D. Check out the attached picture.

Is the 80 the same as a 110? I have a 110 on my 1500D and it looks to be the same size.

I believe the 80 is slightly smaller than the 110.

My 1602D came with a 155 with a 4' bucket. When it's full of moist dirt you can really feel it too. Even with wheel weights, I feel better with my brush hog on the back and raised up slightly to counterbalance it.............

If you have a 155 on a 1602 your tractor is grossly mismatched, and someone put on way too much loader. We used the 155 starting on 2610s. I'd be concerned as to how it is mounted, as it is not designed to mount on a 1602.

I wondered about it myself, it really doesn't fit the tractor quite right, in fact I have to reverse the front wheels to get enough clearance to turn tightly. I was looking seiously at the threads that talked about moving the front axle forward. I don't pick up too much with it, just the odd dirt pile or chunks of wood. I'll post some pics later after I resize them for this forum.........
