MF 80 loader for MF265

[Thomas5060]

where'd you get the euro headstock from?!, bought or made by someone? Do you know if it would fit a 880 loader?

Bought it off Nelson Alexander (Alexander tractors). Yea it probably will, not the best photo but we just had to change the bottom arms over to the other side to make them narrower

You can get wide or narrow headstock i believe

Never knew that, once the bottom arms were swapped everything lined up fine

I see what you mean, don't think that is not an option on our loader as everything is welded in place!! We use a Johnstone headstock and everything we have fits it, but would be handy to have the euro head stock if it would fit as we could maybe borrow the occasional item from the neighbours

All the newer loaders have wide frame, i swapped the bottom of my 80 as well, that was to make it fit dad's attachments from the Massey digger

Nice outfit there

Glad I was only moving it about the yard, the PUH sits below the tractor and can't get much cut before the wheels are against the drawbar but apart from that it's tidy

What size wheels on the 265?
600 series hitch sorts the problem

Only one but will be getting 3 put on her. Has the auxiliary pump so it goes straight to spool block and one for up and down, one for bucket and one will go to back for tipping trailer. Then we will make a bracket and mount quick release fitting on the RHS loser bracket, so just a matter of disconnecting pipes there and not at back of tractor. Hope that makes sense

you have made a nice job,what spools did you get/use?im looking for a two spool set up (kontak) for a 100 series mf

16.9x30, for all she does it's not worth the hassle fitting the 600 style hitch

Yes we used the kontak spool, will get a picture for you if you want

Most times we just use drawbar which solves it
