New front end loader

[Ronster]

I need to buy a front end loader for my Cub Cadet 7234. I'm leaning towards a Koyker model 145 or 155. Does anyone have any experience with this brand? How they compare with a Woods or Bush Hog unit?

Does Cub Cadet make one for your tractor. I would sure recomend checking that out. Others here on TBN have bought aftermarket and have not been happy with them and others have bought them and was happy with them. I just know when there is problems a lot of manufactures will start to point fingers and you really never ever get your problem resolved. If you stay with Cub Cadet no one can point fingers.

just my 2 cents worth

According to my dealer, Woods makes the loader for the Cub Cadet. At about $4000, I thought I would look into some other options.

Does anyone have any experience with Koyker loaders? It looks like I'll order one this week for about $2800. Thanks guys.

I have used a few on heavier ag tractors but not on a compact. The Koykers I used were on tractors in the 80-120 hp range and the Koyker loaders are built for heavy use and are well constructed. I haven't ever compared price on any loaders but if the price is good and it will fit your machine then I'm sure you will be happy with it. You may ask in the ag tractor section on this forum for more advice on them.

No personal experience with Koyker, but I know one Kubota dealer who stocks and sells lots of them. He used to also have Belarus tractors and has recently added the Farm Pro line. When I was shopping for a Kubota several years ago, he told me he could sell it cheaper with the Koyker loader than the Kubota loader.
