Matt, not that I know of. The vast majority of people buy loaders from their dealer at time of purchasing the tractor, or if added later they get them installed at the dealership. Most people don't feel they are capable of installing their own loader so they let the dealer do it and usually get the tractor branded and matched loader. Example for the L3400 it would be the La463. For you New Holland, it might be the 7308 . There are 3rd party loader manufactures like Ansung (korean) and Rhino and Westendorf. These loaders may or may not fit the tractor well, and may or may not be really engineered to work well with the tractor. Things like view of the front and lift height etc might not live up to the standards of the loaders that were engineered to work perfectly with the tractor.

Consider trading in one of your current tractors for a new tractor with a factory loader.

Loaders, like Backhoes, are much cheaper when ordered as an option on a new tractor rather than after you take delivery.

Do you know if the loader valve is already on one of the tractors or will have to be added with the Loader?

Loaders are expensive. You’re probably better off to sell the tractor and buy another one with a loader.

Thank you I appreciate it I’ve looked at it but there so **** expensive going through the dealer I bought a tractor with a koyker 245 loader to take off and put on my kubota but changed my mind I’m just gonna resell it in tact it didn’t run I gave 1200$ for it I figured the loader was worth more than that but anyway I appreciate it I figured I’d ask people here it’s a great resource.

 

[Oklahoma matt 44]

I know my kubota is ready to go just need the loader yes it even has remotes

 

[Oklahoma matt 44]

I was in a wreck and was paralyzed didn稚 have as much need for a loader at the time as I do now looking back should have sprung for the loader.

All the ones saying just buy a different tractor surprise me,
there are numerous manufactures out there of front end loaders.
It was not to many years ago when very few tractors had installed loaders when purchased.
1) Allied by Farm King
2) Westendorf
3) Woods
4) Koykers
5) SSB tractors
and many others, are they cheap no, less then trading in, quite likely.

 

[Oklahoma matt 44]

Lou I appreciate it I bought a koyker but it’s a lil to big for my tractor there are so many brands I am having trouble knowing which series of loader from each brand will fit my tractor I was wondering if there was a site that I could enter my tractor and bring up all the loaders and tell me which series loader will fit from each brand to compare pros and cons to decide which one to but that doesn’t seem to exist.

 

[LouNY]

No, you will have to go to each manufactures and check out their offerings that fit,
several of them may have 2 or 3 different models with different ratings that will fit.
It can be confusing at times from all the variety.

This really isn't all that complicated!

Just call the loader manufacturers and ask what model loader do they recommend for your tractor. Then do some research on those models.

Even Deere wasn't pushing their own loaders here for a while in favour of ALO and HORST buckets, to be competitive. So, yeah, buying the OEM loader with the tractor might not be the cheapest way to go anyway. And the aftermarket one, you can buy anytime. Well, you might loose a little as it's not a bigger package purchase if bought from the same dealer.

I think I would start with your Kubota dealer. Then move to other manufacturers for price comparisons. They should all know if they have models that will fit your tractor. The only difficult part should be the $$$.

In effect, you are pretty much engineering the fit and capability yourself. Oh sure it will probably bolt up, but has real engineering been done to make sure the loader is really suitable for your tractor? Certainly not to the extent a factory loader engineered by a team for suitability will be. Beside you will never get resale value out of it. Aftermarket loaders just look "stupid" and "wrong", and most buyers don't want, don't trust them and won't buy a unit with them. It just cuts down your pool of available buyers. Of course your opinions may vary.

I think in our case, the Alo might have been the better loader over JD.

Long lane tractor has a great bend 224 that should fit tc 33 . I would check all the tractor wrecking yards before I even talked to a dealer. Patience always helps in this endevour.:drink:

 

[Imold]

Have to go to each site, here is a common loader that fits a lot of scuts, cuts even the L3400hst. This was just a quick look up.

And, you would be right! ALO is the top of the line, when it comes to loaders...

ALO makes OEM loaders in OEM colors and decals for many brands as well. That says it all

When I bought my TC33D back in 2001, I passed on the factory NH 7308 loader and ordered the Woods model 1012 loader. It's a MUCH nicer loader than the NH 7308. Larger lift capacity, larger dump and rollback angles. It has been a great fit for my tractor. I would not hesitate to do it again. I'm not sure if Woods is still making that model or not.
