Deere-est Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Anyone know of any models of the Farmhand loader found fitted to many a 5000 in years gone by? Use one a fair bit on hay on my mates farm, be good if there was a 1/32 one around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Deere-est Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 mounted loader. I think it was an American thing in the first instance. Had a frame with white roof built onto an open top tractor (most common were 165's and 5000's) with long straight beams to the carriage. Implements were attached via a pin on either loader arm and another on either crowd ram. Hydraulic's came via a pto pump. It was a gruesome looking bit of kit but with the lock of a 2wd tractor and fast hydrauics aswell as the reach it had over other loader tractors the thing is an awesome bit og kit really, a proper tool.

fenryk Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 Surprised they let you in FB. Was that you in one of those bl**dy white vans that tore past me on the A47 tonight? Anyway, did you decontaminate on leaving Lynn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJB1 Posted October 18, 2005 Share Posted October 18, 2005 isn't that the farmhand f11 ? a chap at andover used to load me up with D1000 bales & that thing had a hellish reach it was fitted to a ford 5000 select'o'speed, if i remember rightly the main lift arms are pinned about where the cab roof would be. Did i really say hellish ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deere-est Posted October 18, 2005 Author Share Posted October 18, 2005 Yeah you got it MJB, never new the model, just that it was Farmhand and a mother!! Yeah the reach on them is unreal, not the strongest piece of kit and to find one these day without a recent weld-up is ucommon. A Britains 6600 badged up as a 5000 with one of these loaders would look flipping booootiful. I'd dare say it would even look hellish!!
