I have a one arm loader with a trip bucket - does anyone have experience with these type of loaders? How/s the stability and lift ability? My tractor is a 1974 3000 - I've heard the hydraulic pumps are undersized for loader attachments? Is it worth adding a cylinder for the trip bucket?

Thanks

Welcome to TBN.
I would love to have one of them one arm loaders. I hear good things about them. Soundguy who is a member here hopefully will see this. He has some on his tractors, and would be the guy with the right info.

I think I have about 6 1 arm loaders on tractors right now, and one more waiting to go on a tractor.

I have both the 711 model ( most of em ).. and 1 722. all are 1 arms.. Most of mine are trip models, with 2 of them hyd dump.

the breakout force is 3000# and they can lift 1300# to full height in about 11 seconds with the oem pump.

they were designed to work fine at the 4gpm / 2250 psi rate the 00/01 fords had. they are not speed demons.. but they work.

I used to routinely move up to 1000# 4x5 hay round bales with mine. in fact.. from 2004 till the beginning of 2011 i ONLY had 1-arm laoders to do all my hay moving. wasn't until early this year I got a 2 arm loader.

let me know if ya got any specific questions. I have both the v1 and v2 manuals, the parts manual and attachment kit manual, plus an advertisement brochure.

the 850 in the pictures, has since had a 3pt backhoe added, thus making it a light duty TLB. very nice to have a hyd loader and a backhoe.

i've seen conversions to trip bucket models adding a 2' or so cyl between a lever elded to the bucket and attached to the front support boom, then you remove the trip latch and release mechanism and plub the dump cyl to a da spool, while the lift cyl is on a SA spool. works ok, though does not auto level like the scissor parallel bar setup of the regular hyd dump model.

some have dirt buckets.. some have maneuer tines with a material plate.

i have both the cable pull trip style and the rod pull trip style. both 3 cyl and 4 yl models, plus a rear bracket set that let me put one on my NAA. required removing the steering box and adding a bracing plate underneath it plus a special trans flange bracket.

Soundguy, those are some neat old loaders. I've never seen one before. Looks like they are very efficiently designed. I would say that the inventor knew long ago, what loader engineers have only recently "discovered" about tractor loaders: Mid-mount loaders can handle a heavier load and do it more effectively than a front-mount loader.

Thanks for sharing the pics. :thumbsup:

yep.. better than alotta weight out front and the mount up front.. I have seen at least 1 design that even has the pivot at the front axle.. must be real hard on it..

yep.. I had been looking for them for a while and hurt my back a few years back.. found one and used it while the back mended.. liked it so much, started collecting them.. have been as far west as texas to get one, and as far north as tennessee.

thanks, but as an MP.. you probbaly did better.

one of my best friends went into the army as a mechanic.. he was in late 80's and thru early 90's over in iraq.. etc.

he said 99% of his work wasn't actually 'fixing' stuff, but instead, changing parts. he even called himself a profesional parts changer... go figure?
