Loader question
 

Is this too big for my 2084?
I haven't seen it in person yet, going tomorrow.
The guy who has it says, he doesn't know what it was on, who made it, or anything about it at all.

What should I be looking at/for?
It looks like it's been welded on a little?
Is there some measurements or something to go by?

Any thoughts on what it might be worth?

thanks guys

Yes, that is way, WAY too big for a GT. Super or not. The bucket and mount are a unloader style. Far too large.

I agree with Jon, it looks way to big and the way it's constructed look very heavy.

ok, I was thinking it looks pretty hefty.

you don't think it could be modified? I've got a torch and welder
he's only asking $250 for it.

Nope. It's simply too big. It's not like you just need to make an adapter, or build a mount. It's like trying to put a dump bed off a 10 wheeler on a pickup. Ain't gonna work.

If you have a torch and welder, just build a loader.

For $250 I'd go get it. Keep in mind that when you modify it you will most likely need new cylinders since they will need to be shorter.

Tim, that bucket is at least 5' wide. Might be 6'..... it's way too big. It's for like a 45hp-60hp compact tractor.

It's a great buy. Buy only if you have a tractor to put it on, or you can flip it. I sold a loader about that size last year. I got $2000 out of it.

I was thinking about building one but steel is pricy these days.

I didn't think about needing smaller cylinders
I'm still going to look at it but I'll most likely pass

thanks guys

Take a tape measure with you. That bucket looks more like 4' to me than 5', might just be the way it looks in the pics.

Heck the 4 rams are worth the $250 especially if he might consider building a loader. Keep the rams and the bucket, scrap the rest.

Buy the loader, then buy the larger SCUT tractor it goes on.
Then no overloading of a little GT.
Sorry,
I'm just not a fan of a boy struggling to do a big mans job, so to speak.

so I took a look in person

the bucket is 48"
the top arm is 66"
it's 32" across
I didn't think to measure the height but it is only about 6 blocks from where I live
also in the pic from the back you can see a second bucket, that one is 40" wide and has been modified to be about 72" with some added on

it does look heavy though

Well, I stand corrected. In the pics, I think it looks far bigger.


It's made almost identical to a 2250 IH loader. I knew it wasn't that big, or an IH loader, but it looks nearly the same.

I have no recommendation on whether to buy it or not. I have no idea what your abilities are. Still looks too big, but whatever. I'm with George. Get a SCUT. I'm not all that into loaders on GT/SGT's for the reason he stated.

J-
I agree it looks bigger in the pics but the pics look funny, I think it's because the loader is between two buildings and there really isn't much room there.
I think there was some zooming in/out to get the pics at the angles he did.

I really wish I knew what it was made for
the only tag/markings I could see is the sticker that's pretty much unreadable, I think it has a round black circle with lower case "mf" in it?

Massey Ferguson? They did make some garden tractors with loaders, had a friend with one.

that was my first thought too
then I saw this : International 300 Utility Tractor w/ Bucket
not exactly the same but closer than anything else I've found
I'm going to look at it again in about 15 minutes, see if I can get any more info out of the owner, surely it didn't just appear there one day while he was at work?

anybody familiar with this sticker?

it measures 17" at the frame mounts
