Can't speak for him but weight would be one good reason. I know of a 6130r with jd loader on and was surprised to find the loader weighs just over 1 ton. I bet quicke is 2/3s the weight.
quicke is a lot easier to take on and off, we found our jd loader a big numb bugger compared to the previous quicke.

Thanks...well basically I was advised by members on here that the quickie was a better loader than the JD one...plus a John Deere fitter told me they were better....and I guessed that quickie specialise in loaders so they must know what they are doing....I kind of always like it when a firm specialises in one thing

Ålö are the choice for quite a few tractor named loaders must be a good reason

Good enough for Valtra to put their name one

JD loader is a bit underwhelming. Poor loading and unloading angles, poor design and poor visibility. All Deeres here are sold with something else than JD loader. Also it's heavy.

Till John Deere throw there toys out of pram and won't let there dealer's sell anything else like they did with McHale instead of making their product better to get the sale

Don't know what it is with the twin hydraulic cylinders, but they rub me the right way.
What do you mean ?PCH I think they call it for hydraulic self leveling .Gives a bit of lift also .Don't know what it is with the twin hydraulic cylinders, but they rub me the right way.

Best bit of the loader that,can’t even compare it to parallel linkage for levelling.

I was told of several recent valtra recalls with the ‘lungy’ gear change…which was the biggest thing that put me off one….is this true?

I’ve heard of people getting plenty bother with the T series but nothing bad on the N series
Is the recall not just a software update to make it smoother

I’ve heard of a couple of N Series being recalled that’s all. Apparently one series needs splitting and one series is straight forward but I can’t remember which way around it is
