KwikWay Loader

What about this one? Looks like you could make a nice one out of this. But I want to put it on a Original, and it's 36 inches wide. Would fit my 124 without much work?

You would have to build a whole different subframe if you buy that one.

What do you want a loader for Ronnie? They aren't really very practical on a GT.

The 124 is a much better option for a loader than an original, the frame on the O isn't full length and cracking where it bolts to the rearend is a common issue.

I would like to have one just to use around the yard, I have crushed red brick around the pool and every year I pay a buddy to come over with his tractor to dump it over the fence. It would come in handy with things like mulch. I have a bunch of landscaping to keep up with aas this pic will show, and that's just the pool. Is the Danco the only one that fits an Original? I thought the KwikWay would work on the 124 but they are both narrow frames. Guess that means their the same? I have searched the country for a Danco loader but those who have them, keep them.

X2! Without a loader on it....

I'm not a fan of loaders on GT's. They just aren't made for it. The only GT that was that I can think of that was heavy enough, was the JD 318. JD thought so much of that GT that they designed and sold a loader for it. No one else did. That's why all the loaders are aftermarket. SGT's are built more suited to loaders.

Save yourself the heartache when you find out the loaders on the Cub aren't going to do what you want. Get yourself a BX Kubota or something similar.

I believe it is (Danco the only one to fit an O). A 124 and an O are not the same frame. They are both NF's....kind of. The O is basically all it's own. It is the same width, but it has a completely different frame.

I agree. The Original is just to small or weak in the frame dept. Maybe I'll just save my $ and get the compressor I want. I need to get another buddy over to trim the Lelands. They are 50 of them, and were only around 8 feet when I planted them. Now their probally 25ft? But then I will have to keep on shoveling.

With a yard like that, doesn't the gardener take care of those chores? Maybe you could talk the pool boy into it Ronnie.

I'm the pool boy. That's the problem.

It would be nice to have an O with a loader like Klejeune (one of the members on here)
