Front End Loader Question

richriddle · Jun 1, 2020

I am thinking of installing a front end loader on the YM276D.......what options are out there? Does it make more sense to simply look for a tractor with one out there. I know some use Koyker, others Bulldog, and I saw one with X3 on it.....

Before getting too carried away with your project determine how much money you want to put into it. A new loader can run upwards of $4000.

This guy is closer to $2000. Attention Required! | Cloudflare

The attached shows a bad review, first complaint I have ever heard on him. This thread might be worth reading. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums...tor-front-end-loader.html?highlight=coldwater

Know nothing about this company and sure don't see anything "bad" in that review unless the buyer had to me some minor issues with the install. What did I miss?

The website says $2400 plus shipping. I am wondering if you must do something to the frame of the Yanmar to support it.

I am pretty sure his comes with everything needed. Didn't think he still had a website.

As an owner of a coldwater loader after about 2 years of trouble free operation I would recamend coldwater loaders. The cost was $1900.00 for the loader and 500.00 shipping to coastal Mississippi IMHO well worth every cent!

http://coldwaterloaders.simplesite.com/ yep $2400.00 + shipping of $500.00 gets you at $2900.00

I don't know what size loader the cold water loader is, but Last I checked, a Koyker 160 loader was $3700.00.
