Mahindra 3510, M112 loader, 35 eng HP

I havent read the entire thread yet, if you will notice, the pics show DIRT /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I am currently moving and rooting so no waxed repainted pics from here.

First pic Side of the L shaped bucket. It is the std bucket from Mahindra. The toothbar is on so you will have to look past that. The bucket seems shallow to look at but at 72in across you can get a snootfull.

The next pic is a full frontal of the bucket.

This is the control. It is horizontal and loader mounted. Though I wasnt sure if I cared for it at first it is handy to use. The hoses run under the top of the boom arm but over the hood so I guess we are calling them unprotected.

And last a side shot. I am a pretty big guy and I can get through the right side without any trouble. It is a lot eaiser off the left, but you can get through without trouble once you have done it a few times. right side

Gotta get back to "work" , later /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Hello Bob,

Here are some pictures of the Montana 3040. I think the pictures a resized and OK for view. This bucket by your definition would be a standard. It has welded reinforcements on the sides and on the bottom with the upper lip rolled for added strength.

The loader control hoses are protected under the definitions used here. The deck is accessible by either the right or left side of the tractor for ease of access.

Thanks,
Maka

A few MF pics. I guess by the rules the bucket would be classified as 'L' type light duty, and that makes sense. Joy stick is loader mounted.

Instruement cluster, all analog, also shows the shuttle shift lever to the left of the steering wheel and the elect PTO engagement switch next to that. Conventional levers and dials.

I like the looks of that bucket.

A pic of my old Ford 1600 with a 775 loader, notice the 'C' type bucket which would also be called light duty. Having used both types the 'C' shape does offer a little more room for the load to settle back when the loader is fully extended.
