Front-End Loader FEL for MF 231S

[def38]

I just bot a used MF 231S...hasn't even arrived here in Dixieland yet. I need a FEL for it.

I am finding that a FEL for the tractor costs as much as the tractor itself.

Any suggestions? Are there used FELs for this tractor? If so, I'm not having any luck finding them. :anyone:

I priced a new Westendorf TA160 loader...$5900.00.

Any suggestions? Are there other FELs that will fit my M-F?

Thanks in advance.

I would not put a loader on that, slow hydraulics (unless you get a PTO pump) and the 8F 2R crash box does not a loader transmission make. Reverse way too slow or way too fast.

If you still want a loader, think a MF 232 had brackets to fit. I did see some one "here" took a loader for a compact DX CIH and mounted on a MF 245, brackets would have been all custom.
