  • hey im trying to make my own but i dont no how big the bucket should be can u give the measurements of yours. thanks

  • @mrminiloader the bucket is 16" high 14" deep and 40 " wide. I made the bucket the same width as the rear tractor tires.

  • @arild365 No plans or drawings, it's all in my head.

  • wow so how much can you lift with that loader?

  • @hudsonjamesc It will lift about 500# before the back wheels come off the ground.

  • Very Nice, you did a great job. I would love to have one on my tractor.

  • Where did you get the loader. I have the same tractor and Ie been looking for a loader for a while. Did you make it?

  • about how much dose the hydraulic cylinders and pump cost?

  • just wondering, why you paint everything so nicly, are you taking it to a show? By the way the paint looks great.

  • try filling the rear tires with water and adding weight to the back, may help with traction when yu have a heavy load

  • how did you hook up the hyd pump and what kind of pump is it??thanks

  • when i bought the 22 hp troy built, they had a loader for it, but they wanted an arm and a leg, and my life for it

  • i made same for my 22hp TRoy bilt, that has a 60" mower deck, it will lift little over 1500lbs, mind you i put a 300lbss counter weight on the back, and run the hydrolic pomp of the other end at the front PTO shaft as the other end under the tractor runs the mower deck, it is on an electric cluch from factory

  • as a trade welder for over 38 years, that is were all my plans and drawings are, in my head

  • @dadjon45 can you put wheelweights on teh back side. or in teh back hubs themselves. i kow they makeem. hell you made this so you could make a weight box for it
