Not enough spools but its out the way on the back anyway.
Agree with that,the hydraulic self levelling is totally superior to the parallel linkage versions.Having used quickie and Stoll loaders, both were crap. Owned chillton/ MX loaders myself for 35 years, they are in a different league . Just my opinion.
Had 5 Mx loaders over the years all have been good .The first red chillton went on 3 different tractors !

They are polish as far as I know, seen some mounted on john deeres with people who couldn't afford a proper loader (on a pretty expensive tractor but hey). Have seen one already swapped for a proper loader, take that for what it's worth.Any one heard of or tried these:

I’ve had 3 Trima/quickie loaders and now my new tractors coming with a McCormicks own that looks like a MX? Had a play with it in dealers yard yesterday and it did feel good plumbed into the joystick so hopefully I get on with it 🫣Having used quickie and Stoll loaders, both were crap.

McCormick and Landini branded loaders are Sigma 4. Think Sigma 4 was and possibly still is owned by the same family who owns Argo

I think that they've been sold also under the name "Metal-Fach" (or maybe still are). Seen them on older tractors. Probably decent enough for odd jobs, but not for "real" loader work. Many horse owners have them on old NH's and Cases.

Are these slewtic 3 point loaders just reach out spool levers or how are they controlled/how many spools needed?

Ours was originally on a spool block but has been re-piped so it works from 2 spools, a single acting for the lift and a double acting for the tip and crowd

Get quotes from a few loader dealers tell them what you want &what hydraulic setup your tractor has. .then decide
