Loader Headstock Adaptor

[GAM]

I have a Stoll loader with a Trima headstock, I am looking for a Euro 8 adaptor, any recommendations.

@Larel made one, I think, on his fabrication thread. But unless you need to have the both options I’d be tempted to change the headstock for a new one.

I took a Euro backplate and converted it to take Trima attachments while keeping its ability to take the euro attachments.
It wasn’t as straight forward as I thought it should be when I started out but got there in the end. I’d agree though unless you need the flexibility of both its easier to change the headstock to euro.
I did it for a mate who really needs to consolidate his system as he now has a mixture of trima, euro and merlo!

The reason I did the above was we couldn’t find a cheap trima headstock where the euro ones come in at about £200.

I only have Euro8 implements, yet the tractor I am buying has a Trima headstock on it, as well as a Euro8 adaptor, yet the guy px the tractor for a new massey wants to keep the adaptor! even if he has trima fittings the new loader will be Euro, so he will need and adaptor from Euro back to Trima....

Loader manufacturers need their heads knocking together, can we not have one simple design that’s universal across all brands. Same goes for telehandlers.

One of these means you can use 3 types of brackets;

In that case you might aswell just bite the bullet and order a combi headstock or a no8 headstock for it or otherwise get that one altered. Combi fronts are ok if needed but they’re not the easiest to hook on to some machines, a plain no8 is much cleared and better visibility.

Adaptor plates are ok but muck up the geometry a wee bit as they add extra length. It affects the rip out force and doesn’t allow the bucket to crowd so tidily if that makes sense? Take it to the extreme and the bucket lifts rather than crowds. But that said they are an easy and cheap way around the problem.

Sounds like you want to Swap headstocks with him when his new one arrives

Going back to your original post, my mate has a Stoll loader from new with a euro 8/trima combo headstock which was what started my whole saga! It looks a very simple and well made bit of kit. Here are the best pics I have of it

I have already suggested a similar sort of thing!

I just found this photo of the loader, If you look closely, it looks as if they have flame cut the end of the headstock off, and looking at your photos, its the piece that hold the Euro8 brackets!
What do you think?

I’d agree with you and not cut that tidy either. . The real shame is that the man that wielded the gas axe didn’t have access to a grinder to tidy up his handiwork . Really can’t think why somebody would do that unless it was fouling on one of his attachments

Hi, have recently got this loader and are unsure of the make, we have euro implements so will need to get a new carriage, does anybody know which loader this is and where we could get a euro carriage for it?

 

[Jackov Altraids]

I think I would go to my local agri-fabrication/ engineer and have them make something up.

Or maybe this would fit?

I had a loader like that new in 1990. Think Polish but can't remember name.
