I just bought my first tractor, JD 755 4x4. would like info/opinions on loader attachment, pricing, quick change, ease of use, etc. Also what about 4-way bucket ?
thanks

I've owned two JD 750's over the years but neither one had a loader. I thought about adding a FEL to the 4x4 model 750 that I had, but decided against it. The main reason I decided not too was because the 750 does not come with power steering as standard, and adding it would be about $1000 or so I was told by a JD dealer. If your 755 has power steering, then you can add a loader and get maximum use with it instead of fighting the steering wheel with a fully loaded bucket.

I'm pretty sure the 755 takes a Model 70 loader, same as what's on my 790 now. However, you cannot purchase a new Model 70 loader from JD because they don't offer them anymore. If you really want one, you have to get a used one (very hard to find), or you'll have to get an aftermarket brand such as Bush Hog, Koyker, or Westendorf. I know the Westendorf is Quick Attach, and I think the Bush Hog brand is as well. Not sure about the Koyker though.

I don't know if any of those three brands offer a 4 in 1 bucket for their loaders but you can check them and see. One thing you will have to consider is that the Model 70 was rated for lifting slightly over 800lbs (on the 755). The 4 in 1 buckets obviously weigh more than the same size standard bucket so if you can find a 4 in 1 bucket, whatever extra weight it adds will probably take away from some of the lifting capacity of the loader. Good luck!

TA-55 is our fit for the JD 755. 700lb lift capacity at 7'2". Most smaller tractors like this do not have the hydraulics equipped to run the 4 in 1 and kebo makes a very good point that the bucket is typically much heavier and will affect lift capacity. I'd suggest getting the right tool for the job instead of doing all with one. If it's a grapple your looking for this little guy is a non-hyraulic solution that will save you from having to add 3rd function hyraulics. It attaches to the loader's bucket cylinder to open and close. Getting rid of the bucket increases lift capacity and moves the load closer to the pivot point for better stability.

In addition to the Westendorf offering, there are others. Woods has a mounting kit for their 1006 loader and one for their LS72 loader specificially for the 755. Buhler Allied has a mounting kit for their model 95 loader. Bush Hog probably offers one also. Your John Deere dealer might be able to find a model 70 loader and a mounting kit for the 755 somewhere in the country at another dealer, presuming he doesn't have one left over. Good luck in your search.
