Nice video, Tim, that little loader works nice!

[@tkelley16341]

Thanks Mike, I'm getting a lot of use out of it.

How do front spindles hold up

[@tkelley16341]

The 322 has no issue with the Little Buck loader.

[@JSG1776]

So you still like the loader? I’m thinking about getting one for my 332.

[@tkelley16341]

Yes, and I've pushed well beyond what it's advertised to do (digging), had to do a little welding on the bucket due to that , but that was my fault. It has really made life a lot easier for me in so many ways. If you'd like to see more of what I've done with it here is my thread on it on MyTractorForum.com www.mytractorforum.com/threads/little-buck-loader-has-arrived-in-pa.1344361/

@@tkelley16341 Thanks for the quick reply. I'm torn between the Little Buck and the Buford Bucket, but leaning toward the Little Buck because of the lift height.

@@tkelley16341 One more question if you don't mind. Have you noticed any excess stress/wear on the front end of the tractor? I'm digging the quick attachment time, but am concerned the it will over stress front of the tractor. Thanks!

[@tkelley16341]

@@JSG1776 I haven't noticed any significant rounding of the mount points or wear on the loader mounting pins. I think that since it used the machine hydraulics and they aren't "quick" that saves a lot of stress on the points. I also make sure to ease into things as much as I can (the stump removals didn't always let me do that) so I wasn't causing as much impact force.

[@tkelley16341]

@@JSG1776 Lift height was a major point for me, and I've used that time and time again, lifting my trailer, lifting pool steps, lifting items from my basement so it is a definite help in those areas. I haven't used it to dump in my pickup or the trailer just because I haven't needed to yet.

Nice yard. Is that a few acres?

[@tkelley16341]

About 2 acres but the lower side with the open garden is actually on property that belongs to a Timber company, but they let me do what I want as long as I don't build on it.

[@shanegrisham179]

What's the counter weight made from.

[@tkelley16341]

The guy I bought the tractor from made it out of a 15 gallon barrel. Concrete is what it's made from.

[@ronaldcadorette4353]

That’s about all it’s good for, moving stuff that’s light as feathers!

450lb capacity. Very handy for household projects.
