Buford mini FEL

How to install a Buford Bucket mini front end loader plus a short demonstration of its function.

[@maxmaximus6671]

This would be a good addition to my John Deere, I'm definitely going to check this out. So cool.

[@erniecypert4730]

Bronze Hawk it's all your fault, thank's for such a good video and review, for those of us that are on the fence about a product videos like yours sure help. I'm picking up my Buford Bucket tomorrow got a lot of goodies to go with it. I will post some pictures on "MTF" Thank's Again.

[@robertduncan2742]

I wonder if there made anymore

[@sugumargovinda]

Thanks for posting such a detailed assembling video. Great demo. I had written to Pete. I am hoping to hear from him that it is possible to attach this to a John Deere D130.

[@sugumargovinda]

I just double checked the forum link - looks like the only JD models supported are X748,140H3,112,Sabre 1542.... I guess Johnny Bucket Jr is the only ready made option. Or I have to attach a bucket and a electric winch to just pull. Which means just bucket, no loading.

[@owentimo]

No, that's a lawn mower only.

[@Paiadakine]

That’s a nice tool. Saves your back!

[@s1283]

That’s actually a pretty nice kit. Only things I can say seem suv par is the lack of grease fittings/pins, at least for the hydraulic cylinders, and looks like there a lot of scratches and raw steel showing. Either shipping or assembly, but otherwise a nice way to add a loader to a garden tractor.

[@haroldlamble5163]

Good demonstration thank you.

[@wagstail4804]

Can you still mount the mower deck after the sub-frame is mounted or do you have to unbolt sub-frame to use mower all the time. It would be sweet if you can at least leave it on permantly.

[@waltermaley]

+Wags Tail - When I ordered it Pete asked me whether I wanted to be able to do that. Since I don't typically mow with this tractor primarily, I did not choose that modification. I am pretty sure Pete is able to accommodate that need. See below for his contact information (mytractorforum link)

[@jimmoravec1326]

You better put some wheel weights on those rear wheels and possibly some more weights in the back

[@user-dv7vi5qj7c]

Спасибо за то что хорошо показал!

[@waltermaley]

You are welcome.

[@josem.2909]

Just curios about how was the hydro pump hooked to the engine, off the PTO for the deck?

[@waltermaley]

The tractor has hydraulic ports that the loader hydraulic hoses hook up to.

[@bbbnz50]

What is stroke of lift arms thanx

[@blfarms1687]

Now your talking ! But I don't think I would classify 30HP heavy use.

[@waltermaley]

Then you won't mind if I just keep on using it I guess.

[@guypatts494]

Where do u get this

[@petespinelli8375]

You wouldn't happen to still have any info on where to get one of these mini loaders would you? If so could you send it to me, I'm very interested in one of these.

[@waltermaley]

No problem. His name is Pete. Here is his contact info: www.mytractorforum.com/showthread.php?t=252393

[@chronoboat5533]

Do they make this with electric actuators??

[@frankvoynar6427]

Only negative , lack of grease fittings.im greatful for my 45. takes the work out of work.. as a side note noticed on ur road test ur unit makes that annoying hyd whine in lifting mode much like my x585.

[@jimhilllenburg1369]

Which color port did you put the shut off valve ?

[@2naturesownplace]

watch the video again appears you missed him pointed this out in color

[@heathbrockway9040]

I'd add some grease fittings. Steel on steel is never a good thing. But I guess that's one of the reasons why it's cheaper.

[@shvenben]

How did you attach the hydraulics to the mower

[@owentimo]

You need a garden tractor with 2+ pools of hydraulics.

[@loco...77]

Where a can buy one like yours .. can you tell me please

[@william38022]

isidro carrasco I’d like to know also

[@dougcopson3676]

[@frankvoynar6427]

Greaseable bushings at all pivot points. Why not??

[@chriskilla247]

Where did you buy that at

[@waltermaley]

I bought it from the guy who builds them by hand. His name is Pete. You can find information on the MTF Forum. www.mytractorforum.com/215-john-deere-faq-stickies-section/252393-buford-bucket-contact-info.html

[@waltermaley]

Also I finally bought a bigger tractor, so I am selling mine if you are interested.

[@seanryan4978]

[@blfarms1687]

Won't last at all' the mower that is. ALL if the weight is on the front tires ! Get a dam shovel !

[@waltermaley]

Thanks for the tip. Maybe I should take it off after 5 years of heavy use with no problems whatsoever!

[@donaldpauli129]

B farms Those front ends are designed to hold a Deere built loader. They’ll be fine

[@thewarden6910]

Lol fucking hater use your shovel , he can use his mini loader

[@owentimo]

Wrong. You're thinking of a Home Depot JD.

[@captainedc]

Wow, your a moron. Look at those front wheels. They are 5 lug and probably 1 inch. Shut your pie hole you have no idea what your talking about. Use your own shovel.

[@endtimejunkie]

Pretty sure that bucket capacity is way tooo much for those small front tires

[@waltermaley]

Thanks for the comment. Clearly FEL loads are always a concern. I am happy to report that I have used this loader this way for 7 years without a single issue on the tires, wheels, axles, tractor frame and drive train.

[@polie67]

@@waltermaley Have you added weight to the rear to counter balance it?

[@waltermaley]

@@polie67 I have 4x45# suitcase weights on the back for ballast.
