accutech loader for ts354c

[michaelTS354]

I have found a new accutech loader for sale locally that is for a Kama 454. I want to purchase it for my ts354c. I am sure it will work all but the mounts. I have googled accutech loaders and cant find their website or any contact info. I need to call them to check on purchasing mounts for my ts354c. Anybody have a website for them or know anything about their loaders.

I believe accutech has closed. If the loader is a bargain, it may be worth having a competent fabricator make up some mounts, but a Koyker would probably be a better choice...

I remember they used to have a website. Chip, you know the differences from the 354 to the 454. Do you think the loader would work and all I would need is new mounts? I probably can get it for $2000. Its still fastened to the shipping pallet.

Sorry, we never used them. (accutech) but some of the dealers did. We used Koyker and the TS354C uses a 140 or 160 model, the km454 used a 195, much bigger loader. could be Accutech fit a smaller loader to the KM. the chassis on these two machines is 100 percent different so you will not use any of the mounting points but you may be able to cut them off and design new ones. You can get a Koyker 160 loader with all the correct brackets, hose kit etc for roughly 3500 last I checked, the 140 is a little less. the mounting kit is a little higher for the KAMA than the Jinma.

that's just great! My loader manufacturer is outa business. I have the Accutech 5 on my Kama 554.

I'll be visiting my tractor tomorrow and I'll take a look at their contact infor and check it to see if they are still around.

The loader itself is nothing to write home to mother about. The paint quality is horrible and the power is just adequate. I just didn't know any better as a newbie when I bought mine as a package deal.

I'd much rather buy a new loader with a warranty for $3500 than a loader with no mounts for $2000.

I believe I paid $5000 for my Accutech with the tractor. I haven't been able to break it yet, but I've not abused it much either.

Bad news, I found a phone number by google and called accutech.There voice mail says they are now closed. The message also refers a tractor dealer local to them for warranty but I cannot remember the name.

Thanks

Well I really like my tractor so far. My only major problem has been the injector pump which I still have not repaired yet. There is an internal leak in the pump and diesel is getting into the oil sump and then leaking out. Other than that it starts great every time, engine sounds and runs great, I just dont know how much longer my IP will last.

The KM454 main hydraulics are PTO driven, meaning they only work when the clutch pedal is released. I considered adding another engine-driven pump. But there's almost no clearance behind the steering pump, so I didn't pursue it - figuring that modifications and installation might cost half again as much as the loader itself.

I'm curious how you plan to plumb in the loader circuit.

[bluechip]

Loaders can be added to the tractors with rear pumps without a problem, same principal as if the pump was on the engine (the last KM units we imported had engine mounted hyd pumps). You just plumb between the pump and the lift box, use open center valves and you are good to go. The hydraulic pump is mounted on the input shaft of the PTO so you don't have to run the PTO to drive the pump and the pump only stops when the second stage of the clutch is disengaged, if you push the clutch half way, the tractor will stop and the hydraulics will continue to operate. Not ideal but certainly very workable and becomes second nature after a while.

 

[greg_g]

Not ideal ....

My point exactly.

Which models were those "last KM units " you imported? I'd like to see the engine driven pump location. On my KM454 (395 engine) there doesn't appear to be enough clearance to hang a second pump off the back side of the steering pump drive housing.

Chip, is your CenturyTel email address still valid? I've had a parts order submitted for nearly two weeks now. I retransmitted it again yesterday.

[bluechip]

I think the change was after the KM454 was disconintued due to production stoppage of the 3 cylinder feidong engine. Yes my email is working, in fact I responded to your request about 10 days ago, never heard back from you, maybe you didn't get my email? I just used reply to sender so I'm guesing your address was correct.

 

[greg_g]

Nope. No response received, Reply To is valid. We had power outages here during the storms, but email should have been held on servers till we came back up. Retransmit please

Just a little information for anyone wondering. Accutech WAS made in Mississippi and were a very good loader. The company sold out and the new owner was supposed to start making them again but as of right now they are not up and running nor have we heard anymore about them re-opening. if you have one you can usually find a replacement part fairly easy for them.
