how meny have fels

[bigbull338]

when talk about buying a new/used tractor we always say get a fel.so that has me wondering how meny have fels on their tractors.i have 2 loader tractors.

 

[TripleR]

We have four loader tractors and will be buying another for use on our one farm where none of them have a loader. We have old tractors made in the 50's and 60's out there and are getting tired of running one with a loader out there when needed.

We have 4 wheeled tractors, 3 of them have FELs, all of them are different sizes.

I'd be lost without one, gotta have something to move the snowbanks when you start getting boxed in and the driveway is too small.:laughing:

I have 4 loader on tractors right now.. and I think monday I'll have a 5th. mind you I have antique tractors, so half those loaders are old trip style.. and 2 are hyd up/gravity down/hyd curl/dump.. this 5th I think is full hyd up/down/curl/dump.

I used to get by with a boom pole and rear scoop. now am VERY glad I have a loader.. way too many uses to not have one..

I have a FEL on my Kioti. It gets used a lot. Now I am moving snow. With the recent sleet, freezing rain, and snow we got Tuesday, I had to help my neighbor who's lawn and garden tractor with blade could now move the mess from his drive. The stuff was really heavy and he was impressed at how easy the Kioti moved it.

I have a FEL on my tractor. The question is really to quick attach or no quick attach, I don't have QA but wish I did

1 tractor with the fel. My first, and I save alot of back pain. L3400. I just used the float control today pushing snow. Didn't even know it had that til I tried it. Coool!

I'm in a rut I have been able to get everything done but certainly not in style without fel. Saying that, not having fel makes certain task easier. I'll be looking for quick attach bucket and easily removable fel when I acquire one.

I have owned 4 tractors since 1991, I have never had one without a FEL, Cant imagine not having one. They are just so useful for all sorts of things. Its like having a very large self propelled wheelbarrow, its like having a mobile crane. Would be lost without mine.. The snow is falling here now, gotta go out after the storm and clean again.

The FEL was the primary reason I bought my tractor. Added a grapple to it first thing so I could move some big brush piles around. I've also found it handy for hauling multiple tool boxes around the farm so I don't have to keep running back and forth to get tools. The FEL is especially good at replacing the wheelbarrow. I'm tired of using my back!

I have a QA style loader on my CUT......as far as I am concerned, the "U" in CUT is in reference to it having a loader. In my case, it is the most Utilized part of the machine.

Absolutely, the tractor wouldn't get near as much use without it.

 

[bigbull338]

well i have heard of 1 guy that went an got a new tractor,an he wouldnt put a loader on it at all.

Front endloader is a must for me,next back blade and posthole digger.If I can sweet talk the misses backhoe.

 

[fdmars]

I have a FEL it is my backs best friend....would never own a tractor w/ out one:licking:

 

[blueriver]

2 tractors and 2 FEL's ... same goes with 4x4 or MDWD ... just got to have them.

 

[qball98]

I have 3 out of 5 tractors with loaders. If I only had one tractor it would have a loader. If I ever traded the two without loaders I doubt i would get a loader on the new one just not needed when you have others available. My dad got by without one for years when he finally got one he said if he only realized how use full it was he would ha bought one years ago.

I have 30 horsepower wheelbarrow.
I have a four-wheel drive front end loader that also supports three-point hitch implements.

The front end loader adds SIGNIFICANT functionality on a small tractor. I wouldn't consider a tractor without.
