he has no website, its hard to find the guys phone number. I think he use to have a very simple website but maybe quit paying to host it or whatever? He use to be on this site till he got tired of people talking about his lack of punctuation and spelling and grammar and such. He seems to be a good guy that can fabricate and just built stuff that works. You can tell his loaders, there painted black and have a single cylinder for the bucket curl.

how much was it again, so when I come into money I can buy one?

Congrats on the FEL.......Coldwater is about 40 miles from me. Was there years ago.....they used to sell a lot of grey market Yanmars. They make a very good product for the price.......I know a couple of folks who have them.....they are very satisfied. Use to be a father/son business........I think the son is the primary now.......and has several employees. Good luck...enjoy.....keep the bucket low.

I don't think anyone else close to that price for new. New hoses, new cylinders, no modifications, a deal in my opinion. Many used ones that high and likely won't bolt right up. I have yet to hear negative feedback.

Coldwater seems to offer value in his loaders. was talking to Chris about a web site and the reason they no longer have one has to do with minuim wage there a small company and they have about all the work they handle he sounded content with what he has now said he sleeps good at night works for me.

**** good value loaders.

I made 1 modification went from a 2 spool to a 3 spool valve will use quick connects for trim on rear and a 2nd set of hoses to the front for a grapple valve added 150.00 to the price but saves me 600.00-or700.00 not having to buy a 3rd fuction set up.

Update received loader from Coldwater it has a 3 handle prince valve. Hoye sent an e-mail Code: HHHA-18 high pressure line adapter kit is shipping today mabey will get the parts this weekend I could have the loader on next week fingers crossed.

 

[winston1]

Looking good. :thumbsup: We are going to need some pictures when you get it all set up.

3 handle loader valve ? I have seen a 2 handle but never seen a 3 on a loader.
Wonder why he uses a 3 lever ? I love my single handle joy stick handle
