Bison loader on a B7100 ?

Illini22 · May 29, 2008

I have a friend that has a Bison 2030 loader off a Bison Trac 650 gas tractor. It has been in a barn for over ten years, some surface rust on arms and cylinders. It has a five foot wide bucket. Could this be installed on my b7100 hst? I have never heard of a bison but it reminds me of a cub low boy on steriods. I would have to call in some favors from some friends for the install. I can rig some things but installing a loader on a tractor it wasn't built for wouldn't be a wise thing for me to do on my own. I would love to here from all you knowlegible posters on this fantastic site. Also my b7100 has 6 lug front tires.

Come on guys, someone must know something about Bison tractors and loaders!

I couldn't even find a web site for them, but apparently it was an import and manufactured by Satoh.
This, a quote from a Yesterday's Tractors thread, might help:
"You need to talk to Bill Rogers at Valley Power in Roanoke Va; dont have number right handy- google it, or check out tractor by net dot com.....he hangs out in the mitsubishi forum... "
The thread was discussing Bison parts availability.

Good luck...
