Front loader advice

[Jimmay]

Hello everyone,

 

I'm looking at buying a front loader for my Massey 360 (3 cylinder), but I have no idea what makes, sizes, what to look out for on 2nd hand ones etc etc, any advice welcome.

 

Many thanks

Cheapest option would be MF loader a 80 or newer 880 very easy to fit but not the most powerfull loader but depends what you want to move with it.

Is your tractor 4 wheel drive.

Hi woody your right there mate loads on the net thanks Jon

You don't see many 360's about so you are unlikely to see a loader advertised to fit one.

 

I think the more popular 240 would have the same hole spacings and would use the same sub frame.

 

I believe the MF80 loader was available with a 3 cylinder sub frame.

Yes mate 4x4. I want it to move brash and the odd log.

The only downside of the mf 80 is no down pressure as single acting rams.
