Evening all, I've a question for the knowledgeable ones regarding loaders. Fitting a loader to a 2wd Ford 7740. Don't want anything too heavy but capable of lifting "dryish" silage bales with a soft hands grab at the most. I've located a rossmore fl60 non self level (440kgs) a quickie 450 non sl and an mx 95u both of which I don't know the weights. What would peoples advice or opinions be on these bearing in mind I don't want to murder the tractor, would like to be able to remove easily and will move approx 100 bales twice a year and move 100 tonne of farmyard manure, so could have it off the tractor 3/4 months of the year... I wouldn't mind so much if it was a 4wd.
If you're anything like rest of us, it'll rarely be taken off
Looking for a pneumatic fertiliser spreader. Something old but in good condition would suit. Doesn’t have to be high spec, just reasonably clean.

@KJL, cheffins have one in an auction in the next two weeks, not the regular Cambridge sales but a farm auction.
Don't have a link I'm afraid

In Classic Tractor magazine a month or 2 ago , there was an article on a Co Cork farmer who was interested in selling off some of his old machinery , including a 40 odd year old pneumatic fertiliser spreader .

You brought the subject of what @KJL was looking for up again.
I’m looking for a 2ft 6 or 3ft digging bucket and a shoring bucket to suit an ex40 with 45mm pins, I believe most ex60 buckets are the same, would anyone know where there might be a few in a dealers yard or anything. I rang a good few numbers on DoneDeal and there was very little that wasn’t sold or had holes in it
I have a 3ft jcb bucket on my UH02, a sort of a father to a 60 on steroids. My wonder is 3ft too big for a 40.
I got a 2 foot with the digger that I never used. Would something like that suit better?

A bucket off a 60 wont fit,pin centres will be to far,ran a ex40 for 6/7 years and after buying it the best thing i did buy was a 3ft digging bucket,made a right digger out of it,I’d say that it would be able for 3 foot, a friend of mine has a 30 inch on an ex30 and it is well able for it. I think the 2 foot would be just a bit too small for it, but thanks for the offer. You gave great advice when I was looking at buying the machine before
Iv a 2ft here and very rarely use it,only use it for the likes of a foundation,have about 8 buckets for the digger,but either of the 3fts would be on mostlyI have a 3ft jcb bucket on my UH02, a sort of a father to a 60 on steroids. My wonder is 3ft too big for a 40.

Good man thanks, I will keep a look out for a 3ft bucket, I only have a grading bucket at the moment it is fine for cleaning ditches but not great for diggingA bucket off a 60 wont fit,pin centres will be to far,ran a ex40 for 6/7 years and after buying it the best thing i did buy was a 3ft digging bucket,made a right digger out of it,
Have a zaxis 50 now about 6/7 years and have a 3 ft riddle bucket which i use mostly but have a 3ft digging bucket for it also,and its well fit for it,ex40 and zaxis 50 are nearly the same weight,same undercarriage but nearly 18 inch more reach.
For general work, a 3ft will probably be fine (In hard digging, it will take a lot out of the machine though)Good man thanks, I will keep a look out for a 3ft bucket, I only have a grading bucket at the moment it is fine for cleaning ditches but not great for digging
