Loader Vs, Big Dirt Scoop?

jyoutz · Mar 18, 2002

I didn't mean to say the scoop has more capacity than the loader. I meant to say that I use the scoop and loader together to really increase my materials handling capacity. By the way, I do understand the $ factor. That's why I bought and used a $150 used scoop for a year and a half until I could afford the loader. Using a loader and mower together is not the point when I talked about aftermarket loaders. The point is that with loaders other than the 410, you will have to dissamble the entire loader subframe after you detach the loader, BEFORE you can attach the mower subframe parts. And then vice-versa. That is why the 410 is so superior and the aftermarket brands don't even warrent consideration in my book. If however I did not have or use a mid mount mower, then many aftermarket loaders are great pieces of equipment and I would consider purchasing one.

...I guess I should bail and get a small scoop now for a cheap price and save up my pennies for a FEL...

Eureka...!

Best idea yet... you can talk about it for the next 6 months... -what, if, maybe, when, & how - or buy the cheapy and be using it to get some work done now... /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif/w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

...Also a 36 inch scoop will work well too on a normally aspirated 4100, but since my 4100 is , ..etc. ./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Nuru, sorry if I missed this before, but what is the output of your turbo 4100? Or, if you haven't had it on a dyno, what is your best guess?

Thanks,
Bob

There was a thread about all the uses of a loader with pictures and all. I could not find it, maybe someone else can.

Tell the scfo that you need it to do that whatever project she has been wanting you to do.

My wife wants new carpet. Anyone know a new implement that might help with that?

CSAW,

Yep... either a scarifier or a cultivator to help remove the older carpet quickly!! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I think he said he had 40 horsepower and in any case he has more horsepower than you, he,he.
I am going with a nitro system or supercharger. Actually, I have a source for a small 100 plus horsepower APU turbine engine, it weighs about 100 lbs, actually about 50 bare but I will need a reduction drive so I can lower output RPM to be compatible with my HST. I will use a Ford rear differential as the basis of the reduction. I will also install a diff locker from High Desert Products so I can lock all four wheels up like on my little 'oyota. I figure duals on the rear should also be helpful and about 500 lbs of ballast permenately set under the battery and subframe plus concrete in the wheels. I need a rear case from an L4600 if anyone has one laying about. Where should I place the air intake to the turbine, I built a particle seperator for a aircraft project once so that is the easy part. The exhaust may also be a problem, maybe I can use that to drive the seed spreader or--hey--- a hover tractor----yeah, yeah, now that is the ticket, a hover tractor, hmmmmmmm.
Oh, at flight idle that will be about 140 horsepower, constant RPM, nothing like the whine of a turbine, diesels are for wussies.
Wait, I could go turbine electric, buy a big generator at Home Depot and junk the Briggs and hook it up to the turbine and then get a big electric motor from an old commercial duty washing machine and hook that up to the HST. I think I am on to something here but I am going to have to reinforce that loader for sure.

J,

This is that secret project that Kubota commissioned- you're doing on the Kubota BX before the brother-in-law gets it... right...? /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

...Red Alert.. Red Alert!!! ...

Bob...

Nuru will need this alert if he spends $800 for that 60" wide 3-point Dirt scoop... and then tries to use it... FULL...! /w3tcompact/icons/blush.gif
