You went out of your way to try and convince everyone that the LS loader is superior and all else is inferior.Except, I am.
And is torsion the only force that piece is expected to endure?
You have an orange tractor in your profile so I know your word automatically trumps mine, but I brought a caliper with me when I went to look at these and the measurements were not what you claim.
You know what? You're right. You win. I'm the one with the inferior loader. This is tiring and I don't have any reason to continue arguing this obvious point with people who go out of their way to avoid seeing it. OP is not going to buy an LS.
So what were the measurements of the torsion tube, upright post, and the plate where it attaches to the block if they were not roughly what I suggested?
The fact is....across ALL brands....there isnt a rash of loader failures. loader mounts dont fail, and arms and pins dont break. Bout the only thing that frequently happens.....to several brands.....is twisting the torsion/timing tube for the SSQA when a grapple or bucket comes off one side....or curl cylinders bend/break from improper use. I think all the manufactures do a pretty darn good job engineering and sizing the loaders to match the tractors they put them on. And to think one is superior or inferior to another simply based on looks is a fools errand.
