aftermarket loaders and BH's

[Slackdaddy]

Still arm chair shopping for a 20-30 HP TLB CUT.
The backhoe will need to be able to be removed to access the 3PH, but the loader can stay on (why would one need a quick remove loader ?).
After looking at a few, it appears to have "quick removal" of the FEL, the strength suffers. (the old - does many things OK, but none great).

1) So if I where to purchase a "bare" Mahindra 2415, are there after market loaders that come with a full frame mount (for the backhoe too).

2) does putting an after market loader and BH void the tractor warranty ?

3) looked at the woods web sight, not much on the mounting ?

I am thinking I may have to end up welding up a frame/FOPS/loader mount/BH mount to get the tractor I want/need.

The stock loader mounts look like they would snap if I went full throttle into a hard dirt pile.

Thanks,

I like having the quick-remove loader for ease of servicing the engine.

That's only my opinion...

Perhaps you should find a low hour,m or new B21 Kubota. They have all the features you are looking for, and are in the same price range.

If you want to do something like this, a CUT with a loader isn't the right machine for you.

Yeah, I am going to miss My 580E, it can take a licking, it's just way to big,
Looked at the Deere 110, that has a 3PH, it's just still slightly to big.
Saw some B21's ? at the Kubota dealer, not really impressed.
So what I want is a CUT built like a skid steer
All the CUTs look like they are designed for light duty use by weekend wariors.
Still looking

I want my loader on for loader work.
I want my loader OFF when I am mowing the lawn or the field.

Compared to your 580, this is probably a true statement. Other than the CUT TLBs mentioned, almost all will have detachable loaders with much less strength. How 'bout a Terramite or Allmand? I don't know much about them, but they are popular in the rental yards.

Check out a Mahindra 4110 with ML112 SK loader and 509 backhoe. If you want to stay in the cut tractor category. I don't think you will find any tougher combination without going to a much heavier tractor. Good luck!
Sorry, I hadn't read your original post very well. I didn't think you were looking for that small a tractor. Look at the 2015 as you may like the loader mounting a little better, and the 2015 is just as heavy as the 2415, and has plenty of power to operate the loader and backhoe.

Kubota B26, B21, L35, L48, Deere 110. No doubt, sounds like you'll destroy anything else. These are the only machines that sound like they stand up to what your looking for. Used L35's are pretty easy to come by, and you'd feel at home with the operation of it.

SLACK:

There is a reason that used 580s often cost less than decent used
30hp CUTs. The CUTs are more versatile. No one says the 580s are
not way more stronger, powerful, and durable.

As for CUT loaders, they don't usually fail at their mounts; the light-duty
bkts fold up and sometimes the loader arms bend. So there is no strength
lost in making them "quick-attach", IMO.

I almost never take my loaders off, and I don't personally know anyone
around here who does. In the rare times I have to take an engine
out or split a tractor, I have. The B21 FEL is bolted on, but you can
remove it in an hour. There is nothing apparent about the B21 FEL that
is any stronger built than most L-series FELs, IMO. It is also only rated
for 920# at the top.
