JD 512 Loader vs Bush Hog 3545 Loader

[smgriffin]

I am thinking about putting a FEL on my JD 5303. I need the loader to have the skid steer quick attach compatibility. The Bush Hog 3545 Loader has this feature where the JD 512 would need the ATI Tach-All plate. I am leaning toward the Bush Hog loader. Has anyone put a BH loader on a 5x03 tractor? Any input is appreciated!

I would go with the BH loader, little stronger, skid steer like you need, and the whole thing is QA mount whereas the 512 is solid mount.

Can't argue with Gamble. The 512 is not one of JD's best loaders, mostly due to the solid mount. However, if you do want it anyway, I think you can get a JD setup with the skid steer QA.

i see it has been a while since you had this post. i was wondering if you did get a 3545 bush hog loader on the JD 5303. i have a 5103 and was looking to get one. did you have any problems with this match. is there any chance you wish you would have gotten the bigger 4045 instead. just looking for some opinions cause everyone has one. thanks
