Not wanting to hijack the thread or anything, but I don't know about the accuracy of a "loader ready" tractor requiring a loader to be ordered at the same time. What about the customer who wants a different than factory loader with his new tractor? My local NH and Case dealers will happily order a non factory loader to go with a tractor, including matching the color.

If the unit is ordered "loader ready" it requires that a loader be ordered at the same time, since the "loader ready" tractor basically has the loader mounting brackets installed at the factory. The exact same tractor can be ordered, as a non-loader ready, and it will not have any brackets/etc. If you want a non-NH loader this is the one they order.

Also, there is a different code for the loader, to be mounted on a "loader ready" tractor. In order to get the unit shipped, both codes have to be ordered.

What I have seen described as a loader ready tractor is a tractor that has the joystick and the valve installed at the factory, but no brackets, in both NH and JD units at dealerships near me.

Test drove a tc 55 da with the hydraulic reverser and it went down hill from there. Had to place one on order. Comes with tl 270 loader, rear remotes, R-4 tires, hd 6' bucket with quick tach,and the service / repair manual. I kept the tip and tilt,& tooth bar from the 45. I have a 6' woods box blade, 6' rear blade, 6' landscape rake, rototiller, rotary weed cutter, and a bradco 611 backhoe. In spring I'm getting a rock bucket and checking plans for a grapple. It arrived friday so I tried it out.... SWEEEEEEET. Should be delivered thursday after they add the rear remotes, dyno test, hydraulic pressure test, wash and wax.
I'm registered at the dealer in the event my wife wants to " surprise " me with a christmas gift. ( Ha ha ha ha ) This buying is getting contagious, priced a new HD electra glide today.

Ummm, while you're in a spending mood, I could use a new car, a nice Steiner mower, and a couple of other things.

These units are the "non loader ready" code, with the optional valve and joystick ordered as factory options. Many times dealers will order tractors this way, and then in general conversation refer to them as loader ready.

But, in the strictest sense of the word, and as per the ordering guidelines for NH, the definition I detailed above applies.
