Front-End Loader Quickie Loaders (FEL)'s

rback33 · Dec 3, 2007

Quickie makes a very nice loader no doubt. To say that an aftermarket loader will fit and work better as a blanket statement is ludicrous though. Quickie is now the OE loader for CNH, AGCO, and McCormick ag loaders. They got their beginning as the aftermarket loader. I am hearing complaints about deliveries on OE loaders for all the big companies. It is helping us sell a ton of loaders right now and it helped sell a Westendorf in Iowa last week. They told him a late May delivery on a John Deere loader.

Interesting information on delivery dates... Feel free to keep calling us - we're stocked and ready to ship. Allow 3-days to make the brackets and you can have your loader pkg in approx. a week.
P.S. Thanks for the order last week.

If your selling a ton of loaders - do you need me to send a semi your way?

You sold that loader in Iowa on name.

Ours was within $70 at dealer net, midmount and has a better warranty. (so I am told. I have not read your warranty statement) There is no doubt that the Quickie alliance with all those people is helping us. I just hope it helps us more than you!

I'm no expert but neither a loader nor a backhoe seem so integrated into the main design of a tractor that one ought to be concerned about an aftermarket product for any reason.

Tractors overall are pretty simple machines and I don't think that integrating a backhoe from here or a loader from there has any real downside. JMHO.

Lucky or not the only times we've had broken front ends and tractor chassis is when they had after market attachments. Just because someone makes it doesn't mean it is right for all work. Study hard because if they are offering extra depth on a backhoe, that's extra leverage against the chassis, if it's extra weight lift on a loader or extra reach, that's extra load on the front axle components.
