Front end loader query

I don’t think you can beat a quickie loader personally. The paint work on the MX loader is poor.

Things have changed a lot since I was fitting loaders to new IH 454's
The only problem I can think of will the loader lift high enough to stack
1200 tonnes in yard or will you use handler?

Paintwork is still good on both my MX loaders , the newest being a 2005 build

Got a 2015 build mx loader here, main boom paint is good but rest leaves a lot to be desired.

Perfect paint work on my MX120.
It's bit new though only 21 yrs old.

Surely if its only for moving straw they'll all be good? Gear box for me makes the difference. Can't beat a loader tractor with a vario gearbox.

Thanks for the replies. A question though is we turn the bales over presently so strings are facing outwards. We do this in the field as it saves mess in the yard but also the yard is stone so it means we don’t pick stones up in the bales why doing it.
In the field flipping the bales with a telescopic is easy as you’ve got boom out function so you flip the bale with the boom out about a metre or so then retract while staying stationary before then picking it up.

Will that be as easy with a tractor loader as it’ll mean a shuttle backwards due to not having any telescopic function.

Also the Puma forward/reverse shuttle either on the joystick or left hand reverser isn’t instant so I’m wondering whether we’ll be cursing the setup after an hours use?

Surely to flip a bale you'd go at it with the tunes tipped over pointing down catch the top of the bale lift and crowd back and it'll be on it's side with little or no tractor movement?

How far are fields from yard and size etc do you go through a village
And losder tractor wise
You want the likes of Massey power control or class reverse shift best shuttle control can be forward back forward before a lot will of thought it
Get a half chute on Baler so it turns them
Or but a good used Heath chaser was one on market place 20 k
What trailers are you using
You want two of you 1 tractor , one loader tractor and two good artic trailers , one with drawbar on back and make a good skid shoe short chain so you can pull both together load back one and driver on ropes or straps up when loaded drop it fill other
Yoke up go to stack one in straps while other tipping
Loader tractors wants biggest widest front tyres you can get so you can run softer . Hard dry fields you will smile at the comfort of big tyres and suspension

While we're talking about loaders, has anyone had issues with the Stoll euro hitch frame not fitting attachments properly? It's the type with the spring loaded pin that you pull out the side and lock in position.

I've got a Robust F30 and the only thing that fits is the bucket that came with the tractor/loader, everything else (my other bucket, two sets of forks, bale grabs, off the shelf euro hitch brackets) requires a lot of swearing, kicking, hammering and levering to get the bottom pin to slide into the holes.

Never had this issue with any other loader, even my cheap Sparex euro quick change frames on other tractors work perfectly.

I can fix it quite easily with a 9" angle grinder, but it seems weird.

Not on Stoll in particular, but had some problems with our Isme which has the Isme fitting. Had to grind them hooks more open, they wouldn't fit to the top bar as they were from the factory. Annoying little things. Some implements need to be locked by tilting the tip agains the ground to alter the alignment of the holes for the pin to go through. Not had the same problem with Euro fittings, might aswell change Isme fitting for Euro, as only two buckets and one bale grab need to be altered to Euro (one bucket has bolt on fittings, so that'll be easy and we've adapter on bale grabd so that leaves just one bucket to alter or swap out).

Yeah, nothing beats a Quickie.
