Time for a loader but which one?

[Zoombah]

Recently picked up a used TN65D. Low hours, great condition but need to add a loader. Am considering NH 32LC, Rhino 4211, and Bush Hog 446. Difference in price between highest priced loader (NH) and lowest (BH) is $600. I know only what I have read about loaders, and what I have read says all three brands are good loaders.

I'd appreciate some comments about why I should choose one brand over the others. Or maybe there's another choice not mentioned above. Please help a city boy choose the right loader.

Personnaly I would pick the one that mounts and dismounts the easiest. Mine takes less time than changing to a clean pair of jeans. I find that to be a real plus.

But, if you have no intention of removing it, or a need to do some things without it mounted, then that may not be as important to you. Also, I would get the one with the easiest bucket to detach, and look at the options for a set of forks to be switched in at the spur of the moment.

3rd, I'd look for the one with the cylinders that match the tractor hydraulics. Sometimes, to get more lift capacity from weak hydraulics, larger cylinders are used but then they are slower to act.

Lastly, with only $600 diff, I'd forget the price and pick the one that has the most.

Lots of things to consider, the least maybe that one should look at what the tractor comes with. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
