YM1401D Loader

mowingcorey · Jun 7, 2004

I don't have a close Koyker loader dealer, so I am wondering if any other loaders are made to fit my Yanmar 1401D. Bush Hog, Great Bend, Allied? I have those dealers within a few miles. Any info is appreciated. Thanks.

Odds are your local dealers won't carry a loader brand that has the right mount and hydraulic kit for your YM1401D. It will probably be best to order a Koyker 80 loader and just have it shipped to you on a pallet. It's a bolt-on deal. Just my thoughts. If you put a loader on this tractor, you'll need a lot of rear ballast to keep from doing back-wheelies.

You've got that right! With no rear ballast my 1401Ds loader capacity is about 100 lbs. However, I have no rear wheel weights or fluid in my tires. I'm sure this would help.

I find that with my 42" tiller on the back that loader work with my 169d (1401d equivelent) is satisfactory, but fluid in the tires in addition would be nice.
