Opinion on FEL

[F15DOWNER]

All
Has anyone had any experience with a Helpmate loader?

I want to put a loader on a F15D and most of the others seem to be a little heavy for a small tractor, this one looks a lot lighter.
I have never had a loader on a tractor, so I figured I ask the pro's on the yanmar forum.

Take a look at the Koyker Model 80 loader. It was designed for the smaller tractors. I have seen one of those Helpmates before and I wasn't impressed.

Tom,
I expressed interest in Helpmate, got all the information via there broshure and was impressed. The arms are made of HSLA (high strength low alloy) and the holes are cut to even lighten further.

By the time all negotiating, $ and shipping, their price was about the same as Allied, Koyker, etc.etc. and a little more than a few others.

Just looked for the packet and I either tossed it or it's at the shop. Sorry, that is all the info I have. If I find it I would be glad to forward it to you. Eerything they produce is on the website, but the confidential dealer price list.
