Looks the business.
Hope it's easier to check the engine oil with that than the Quicke though.
Good luck with it.

It will come off the tractor a fair bit I suspect, though will be used a fair bit at grass harvest and thru winter to feed out.

Just bought this today, donor tractor same make, size, age and emissions rating.

Comes with all pipe work and brackets so should be a relatively easy fit I hope.

You asked in another thread about the firm you were dealing with on this (prospective at the time) purchase. I'm assuming all was good? Since you have brought it 👍!

Friend of mine interested in something else they have so was interested to hear how it's gone dealing with them?

Yes, so far very good, had a couple calls about the item and he checked my tractor serial number with the MX people to double check things would be fine. Also spoke to a local to him NH dealer and got them to measure the mouting holes to double check.

Chris was very helpful on the phone and also gacve me the names of some people local who hes done deals with.

So, so far Im more than happy

My experience with loaders is the more you take them on and off the easier it gets and the better you get at it
a heavy implement also helps
I have considered having a concrete block attached to an implement bracket to aid Removel and not tie up a bucket I might want for the second loader

also regularly check the tightness of the bolts that hold the brackets to the tractor
 
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. 🤔
We’ve had numerous Chiltin/MX loaders since the mid 80’s and have been pleased with them.
Recently I have bought a second hand Valtra with loader, first time taking the loader off was a right faff but turns out that was beginners luck, second time was a right nightmare and ended up bending the stays on the legs so had to resort to some lifting straps and the manitou to get it off. To say I’m less than pleased would be an understatement, indeed I’m toying with the idea of sending it back down the road it’s annoyed me that much.
As a long term MX loader user I would think nothing of dropping a loader off when it wasn’t needed, I’m starting to realise why so many Quicke loader users leave them on when they’re not really needed.

This guy is fast. But admittedly he has done this 100s of times and makes it look very slick.
That's how I've always done it with the last 3 quickie loaders I've had with lock and go as long as it's level comes off no bother always use same bucket and know what position legs need to be in. Goes on even faster
