what mini loader

[Commando]

What was your opinion on Giant loader build quality.

 

 

What will the loader on the compact lift Mick?

I'm looking at similar options.

[Mick Dempsey]

I reckon 300kg max. I try not to overload it as I'm told it's likely to ruin the pump.

 

I'm told, and I defer to the more knowledgeable, that a standard gearbox would be more robust for doing lots of lifting.

To butt in with my 0.5p worth.

We run an Avant 640 in work.

We also run a JD3720 hydrostatic tractor, with 300 series loader.

I really like and rate both.

Both are on turf tyres.

IF using the Avant with pallet forks one NEEDS hydraulic side-shift.

Not so with the wee tractor.

I would like to buy an Avant/Multione type machine, but scarce 2nd hand and bloody expensive.

And for my envisaged duties a wee tractor perhaps more versitile(with proper/Mechanical PTO)

Since the reach on the Avant is marginal.

PS

For fine control, i.e. power with precision, it HAS to be a hydrostatic transmission, EVERY time.

PPS

I understand Kubotas hydro transmission to be a bit "soft" and likely to lie down to heavy work/sustained road work.

Not so for the JD.

My dream tool is therefore a JD 4049M/4066M, with loader.

Would you say a compact tractor loader is as versatile as a avant/multione or is it really down to the size and turning circle with the tractor that people tend to do for the avant kind of machine?

Dont go to small

[Dean Lofthouse]

Dont mess with a mini loader.... the point about these is their lift capacity compared to their size. I started with a Kubota compact which lifted next to nowt in comparison.

Nice job on the bucket using a steel 40 gallon drum,,

What multi one are you running it looks to be doing a smashing job ?

Its the GT45 which is equivelent to the new 9 series CSF

It lifted that stump? Or dragged it?
