Does anyone have a FEL on F-series tractor?....I'm thinking I need one but my dealer says there's not much going on with FEL on the F-series. Does anyone know what the "scoop" is....Thanks Joe
There was one on ebay with FEL. The auction has ended, but here is the link

Thanks, I have an F series and wondered how a loader would fit. While at ebay, I searched under Yanmar tractor. Someone is sellling a green YM1300, calling it "like new" and says it has live PTO. Do any YM's have live PTO?
I don't know of any of the gear drive YMs that had live PTOs. Of course on any Yanmar with powershift you can control the PTO just the same as a typical live PTO does with its two stage clutch. The real hot setup is found on ag tractors where the PTO is live and independent. Meaning that the PTO has its own completely separate clutch. You can clutch and shift either the tractor or the PTO independently.
As for the FEL, I don't know the particulars but I think that Tractor Ernie has put loaders on F series.
My F22D came from Japan with a FEL already installed. Its a quick detach model with a easily detached bucket. I've already built a short boom for it to use it as crane. If I can find the pictures I'll attach one to another reply.
