Front-End Loader Most powerful third party fel brand?

[JDeereman]

My Mahindra 5525 (54 hp engine, 45 hp pto, 2WD) has the ML250 FEL (6 ft bucket). That FEL is made by Buhler in Canada (I think) and is distributed by BII Fargo, Inc. The bucket holds 18.8 cu ft (about 0.67 cu yd), lift capacity is 2980 lb to full height at the pivot pins and the breakout force at the pivot pins is 4905 lb. Max lift height is 10.5 ft. The clearance with the bucket dumped is 8'-8".

Thanks for the tip. i had forgotten about that brand. i will include buhler in my research.

At the time I was looking a few years ago the Humpolec 50HL had the best specs in the under 50 HP tractor range.
Max load to full height, breakout force, max load measured at pins, etc.
OK, so it isn't assembled in the US and was only available on Zetor & Kukje, but it was part of the reason that I settled on the tractor that I did.
Other factors were 12x12 shuttle shift, which saved some serious bux vs hydro
and the MASS of the basic tractor's frame and castings. It is several hundred pounds heftier than other tractors in the same HP "size" and I can't see where there is wasted weight that anyone would want trimmed.
I wanted weight for ground engagement (as strength) and I got it, mowing is a different topic.

There are loaders that might fit several sizes of tractor chassis as well as makes.

No matter who might recommend it, "they won't have to pay the repairs in five years" stay within the recommended maximum of the manufacturer of the tractor.
It is also important to look at the mounting points and supports.
