NH T6.145 loader

[Thomas5060]

Hi Folks, strongly considering putting a loader on my T6.145. Question is, will a loader from an older 6 cyl fit? As I understand it the 145 is the same as a 6 cyl with 4cyl engine and a spacer plate to make it the same length. So would brackets off say a T6.155-175 or TS115A-135A fit? T6030?

New factory fitted loader brackets are all for wider loader booms, presume latest bonnets are now wider!?

Don't know if the holes are the same but the tractor is definitely the same length. If got a lrz 130 on my case but i ordered it with the tractor. I prefer it to the previous trima I had on the nh. The controls are in a different league.
My brother in law has fitted a sigma 4 loader to his older maxxum 115 x line. He said it was the cheapest out of the aftermarket loaders for what you were getting , he and a local fitter put it on themselves. That came from tunstall tractors.

How does he get on with it?
I would consider new brackets and a second hand boom if I needed too. Quite like the look of mx. I guess Quicke, MX and Stoll would all be similar price?

Likes it, good substantial loader. I think they are all of a similar price. Mx seems to be popular however my other brother in law (wife's side) had a u8 mx on a Massey and diddnt rate it. Quickie/trima used to be popular around here but most of the new tractors with loaders on tend to be their own brand ones I think because it's just as easy to order them together or dealer discounts . My trima that I had was a 4.3 p, (Same as a quickie) it was well built but the joystick dropped to bits 3 times oh and the hydraulic pipes were only single thread wire.
Id give that tunstall a ring it may work out as cheap as trying to find separate brackets and a boom. The one thing he liked about the sigma is it has a full length frame under the tractor.

Cheers. Will have to find out who the dealer for Sigma is here in NI. Will also try the NH dealer and see if he can do a good deal on an NH loader.

Yep like I say worth a ring. If it's only for occasional use it doesn't need to be top spec. It's surprising how reasonable a none parallel linkage loader that lifts 1800kg on basic controls can be.

Hunter kane is a sigma dealer and mabe thomas mckeever if am not mistaken. We have sigma on our zetor with hydralic self levelin which is far betr than them big box section bars that i see other loaders way

That’s all I would need. Mainly to lift bales and buckets of stone, don’t need anything fancy.

Its ok my next loader will be hydrac but am pretty good way a grease gun so hopefully not for long time. But its no harder than any other loader to take of and visibility is as good as can be expected

well i don't see why anyone would want a loader without parallel linkage. makes life a lot easier.

 

[Boohoo]

Do any of the loader manufacturer's websites list which brackets suit which tractors? If the current brackets for a T6.145 also fit a TS115A for example, there's a good chance that the older brackets will also fit.
If you're buying second hand brackets don't forget to check things like engine oil dipstick access, it's difficult enough on a TSA and it's in the right place. Also make sure any second hand loaders have got the correct spool block for your hydraulic system, a new one will add at least £1500.

It maybe does but if the op is only using it occasionally it may not be needed. If he can afford it great.

I’d always go for trima/quickie over a MX

muse 2 newish loader tractors and the MX needs greased more regularly and flexes more

The ad blu system may be in the way of brackets from an older one.Gribben Tractors would be worth a phone call they have loads of s/h brackets and loaders in stock and very straight to deal with.On a new one of any make,you get a much better deal buying a complete loader rather than just brackets or boom,just priced up a new set of MX brackets and hyd kit for a T5040,nearly £3.5k,complete U307 loader is under £7k.

There is a dealer around kilrea/garvagh, cant think of his name.

Maybe something like McMillan. Fitted sigma loader to friends tm155 last year
