Front-End Loader Ford 2600 Front End Loader

[rxdad2012]

Anyone have recommendations for a brand and model of front end loader for a 1978 Ford 2600? From all the research ive done, the recommended models are Ford 772A or 727.

Found a 727 for reasonable on tractorhouse. But its up past Detroit Michigan and im way down in Tennessee/Kentucky/Virginia. So driving 8-10 hours for a loader is not something i want to do. And I don稚 want to buy sight unseen and have it shipped.

Also, does anyone know of a resource for how to install a FEL on a ford 2600? Ive scoured YouTube and google. Ive found photos with them installed on similar models so i get the general idea. And when i look at the tractor chassis, i think i see where everything mounts.

Thanks for all you guys do on this forum!

There are several companies that build loaders aftermarket to fit a variety of tractors. My list is in no way meant to be all inclusive but a starting point.

Coldwater
Waldendorf
Koyker

Spelling may be off a bit on any but Koyker. There are others, but my memory is not bring them up at the moment.
A phone call for details would be well worth the effort. Expect to spend some funds 4-5 digits for a new loader of any size. I am not sure how larger your Ford 2600 is physically.

I believe Woods manufactures loaders and I think Wallenstein of Canada did as well.

Anybody on the forum live in the Dryden, MI area and be willing to check this out for me?

From pictures it looks nice. Price seems good as well for the condition it appears in. But granted it is difficult to tell conditions of hoses and the like from pictures.
