Front-End Loader Picking a loader?!?!

[Sawyer Rob]

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 $$$.

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.

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:

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.
