Tried this one in Classic Tractors but no joy so thought I’d try it in the general machinery section....I have a 4wd JD 2650 and looking for a loader for it. The JD245 loader is the ideal one but haven’t been able to find any for sale over the last 6 months (apart from already connected to another 22/6/850 tractor!) Does anyone know how I can check what other loader makes and models would fit the 2650? Presumably getting the correct mounting brackets is also the other challenge if it hasn’t come off a JD?

Basically any suggestions of where to look would be good! Thanks.

A 260 loader was for the 6 pot tractors and a huge thing too. So, no, it's too big.
A 245 or the Hungarian made 245M is the ideal choice. However, such things will be rare and as you say, they're already bolted to a tractor..
Could you justify a new loader, most manufacturers will have a poverty spec model. After that, any second hand loader will fit if you have the appropriate brackets and valve.. If have an ability for fabrication, then any loader will fit with some welding, cutting, grinding and drilling etc.. I've fit MF, MIl, horndraulic off an old Ford to JD, in the past.. One likes a challenge,, ?..

Thanks. I’m guessing new would be 4-5£k? A bit more than I was hoping to spend tbh. Sadly I’m not much of a fabricator so getting another loader to fit is beyond my skill level!

I’m just after a loader tbh - already have the tractor and don’t need a second one!

So after a couple of attempts still haven’t managed to get my hands on a 245 loader...so resurrecting this thread in case anyone has any more good ideas of where to look?

Quick recap: I’m after a loader to fit my JD 2650 tractor. Ideally a John Deere 245 or 540a loader that has come off a 22/26/2850 tractor (so it’s easy to refit and has the right brackets etc).

A John Deere 640a loader would also fit a 2650, I used to have one on my 2850.
