Hi Folks,

Long time lurker, first time poster! I have a question I am hoping someone here can chime in on; I am considering the purchase of a Massey 1020, which unfortunately doesn't have a loader. I have had no luck tracking down an MF1014 loader for it, however I have found a 1016 that is basically new. Does anyone know if this loader is compatible with the 1020? Even if it can be installed, will it be too big for the tractor to handle? The price of a new loader is out of reach, so just trying to get an idea of potential solutions before I decide if I should buy the tractor or not.

Thanks!

Welcome! I am in the same boat. I have a MF 1020 and looking for the 1014 loader.. no luck for me yet. I am in the process of possibly getting one fab'd up. Not sure if it will be cost effective. My thoughts on the 1016 would be that if I could get one it would be close enough to the 1014 that I could make it work. I think it would have to be modified and I am sure the tractor mounting frame may not fit onto the 1020 and the bucket may be too wide. Now understand what I am saying only comes from looking at pictures on the net. Good luck and let us know how you made out. I want to come over and take some measurements if you find a 1014 loader. I am in Ontario also!

Hi, Just found this thread. I have a MF 1016 Model 5057 Front Loader that was modified to fit a MF 1020 tractor. Had to modify the bucket and mount foot (both tractor and loader) and hydraulic control a bit. Would work even better if I had taken more weight off. Have been using it for more than 3 years. It was a very inexpensive used loader.

Saved several thousand dollars trailering my tractor to and from a friend in Warsaw MO., from Tucson AZ area. Stayed a week and modified the loader. It works well.

It is still to heavy for the 1020, so I do not overfill the bucket. Holds about 2.5 wheelbarrow dirt, blocks, bricks, etc. Usually have a small implement attached to the 3-p0int as a counter weight and sometimes need to add some weight to that.

Currently have a leaking left loader lift cylinder seal. Will remove and take ot a shop in Tucson to put in a new seal. May do the other lift cylinder at the same time.

Live on 8+ acres with pole barn and use it for maintaining ingress/egress drive; ford across a wash; mowing with a bush hog and lots more thins. Do need new front tires. Very happy with the results.

Nope it is not for sale and does everything very well. Just wanted to let folks on the forum know that MF 1016 loader does work on a FM 1020 tractor.

Have a nice week.
Steve
