Loaders

[JCooper]

I've been seeing alot of Chinese tractors with loaders of different brands. What's wrong with the Chinese loaders made in China?

Theirs nothing wrong with them,they are more economical,they have "2 stick"valve body instead of a joystick control,most out of the crate dont have the supports to the rear axles,I believe the Koyker 160 can lift 1500 lbs while the factory clone is a few hundred less,some dealers buy aftermarket loaders in the states so you can fit more in the container,1 loader takes place of a tractor,the loader that comes from Koyker in SD arrive in 10-14 days so they can be ordered on demand,tractor orders take around 60 days give or take

Really nothing wrong w/the loaders,but I heard from others you might have to want a tad longer for parts,also dealers are little hard to find..at least in this area.

ARe you saying KOYKERS are made in China???

The Chinese JM FELs are copies of the Koyker 160. As far as I know, Koyker is made only in the US of A.

Koyker is a division of Sioux Steel Inc, Lennox, SD.

Don't get too excited about someone stealing USA designs. The B17 bomber is a german design. American Railroad design was originaly taken from the British the list goes on. Koyker did not invent front end loaders.

Koyker makes nice loaders and mounts for many tractors from 15-150 horsepower,made in SD,not shanghi
