Loader for Ford 7840

[Nearly]

Sacrilege to put a loader on a 7840

I've one on 8340.

The prices quoted it might suit to buy a loadall for big jobs.
Forklift mast on front linkage can move a lot of bales.

Just been offered a Trimma 540 from Gribben tractors £2900 plus VAT for a 7840, or a new Intertech IT 1600 for £6000 with new brackets etc.
The latter comes with soft ride etc.

thoughts?

£3k and buy a softride accumulator.

polish built . look similar to old quickie

 

[Nick14]

Yeah a polish company I think, imported from a chap in Ireland, Karl Campbell. £6000 is a cheaper loader but comes with soft ride, self levelling and euro headstock apparently.

So I settled for the Q540 from Gribben, great bunch. can anyone tell me what type of headstock is on it? I think euro but a friend said there are different types of euro?

are they compatible with euro 8 brackets?

See somebody selling a Howard loader off a 8240 on the 40 series owners group on Facebook.

Complete job, brackets, bolts, the lot. Not fancy but not silly money either, could be tidied up nice.

4 cylinder loader grafted onto a 6cyl tractor.
Slightly better than a front linkage but not worth £2k.
Little lift height or capacity.

Good spot, Never even studied it in detail.
Do for moving a bale or two maybe.

Loader should go almost back to the cab.

Thanks all, got a Q540 from Gribben off a 7840 so should all work, anyone advise on what headstock it’s got? I was told euro but someone else said there are different euro heads?

need to get some attachments and want the right brackets.

This is the combi. Takes euro 8 & I think 3...

 

[Nick14]

Thanks for this, guess I’ll be replacing the headstock

Looks like a euro 8 headstock to me so should be good to go unless you need the option of quicke no3 and trima brackets

 

[Nick14]

Nope I don’t have any kit at the mo so I’m buying in fresh, the guys at Gribben said it should be euro 8 so il buy in euro 8 kit.

I assume that’s the most common now I hear?

 

[johnboy87]

Most modern tractor loaders are generally on either euro 8 or Mx these days but you do find some loaders on the combi headstock so you can pick up euro 8, quicke no3 and Trima sms all with the same headstock.
Might be worth casting a tape measure over your headstock just incase it has got an odd ball or older one fitted

 

[Nick14]

Super thanks!

I will get the engineers to check it over when it comes over the water.
