Front End Loader-Chinese-Opinions

naplan,

Sent message, did not post for some reason?. Looked at your mounting schematic. Your tractor is Indian, not Chinese of course. The mounting system is very similar to the Koyker 150 on my Ford 1620. I bought it thru a Long Tractor Dealer. Did you get a Koyker Quote.? The dealer network can be spotty, and $ numbers all over the map. I have had success dealing directly with factory in the Dakotas. They will either deal direct or provide a dealer name, serious about making a sale. Just FYI I also have a 10 ft 3 point backhoe. Made for Long again by Koyker. Share sentiments with other member, good products, solidly constructed.

If it comes to fabricating a mounting plate, most welding shops have both hot and cold rolled drops from fabrication. They keep some, but most become scrap. Should be able to purchase what you need inexpensively. They may even punch the holes you need very reasonably as well. After buying an Iron Worker, I do not go back to drilling unless absolutely necessary. And then it is with a magnetic portable drill. Next purchase will be a Porta Punch from Cleveland Tool. One slick hole puncher.

A Koyker dealer (Waechter Sales & Marketing) told me that Koyker does not make a loader to fit the Mahindra. I just sent an online email to Koyker direct asking them.

The Mahindra 3015 was actually built by Mitsubishi in Japan for Mahindra.

One reason I'm looking at the Chinese loader is because of the self-leveling and four-in-one bucket included in the low price. I like the four-in-one because of it's "clamshell" ability for picking up the remnants of a pile of material and also for it's (limited) grapple capability. I don't need a full blown grapple.

Thanks for all the feedback and looking forward to more.
