its not the answer you want but when I was looking for a loader for a 3120 the advise was don't!
spend money on a newer tractor with a power shuttle I bought a 6265 I know its 4cyl but you would not go wrong with a 6270 or similar. ... if you buy a tractor with a loader on its a lot cheaper than fitting one to your tractor.
if your 3095 is tidy would you get 7k for it? a loader might be 6/7k? you could probably get a tidy 6270 with loader for 15k?

I know its not the one you know but you would end up with a lot better outfit and a good bit newer
Each to their own but i would never buy a tractor with a loader, they almost always have been abused

I think your both right, putting a loader on an older tractor is only really worthwhile if its a second hand appropriately priced loader.

as for buying a second hand loader tractor as with any tractor look around it, mine hardly had the loader on it and the kingpins etc were like new and steering joints not excessively worn and originals
as with anything second hand you look at the person and there other machinery you know instantly whether to just turn and walk away.

Don' t know your circumstances, or your reason for wanting a loader on a 3095. But have you considered a second hand Loadall such as a 525- 58 or similar from the 1990's? You can pick up a tidy machine for about 8k, or even something a bit tatty for perhaps six.
However, these may be more than you want to spend, and if so good luck with a second hand loader for the 3095.
for me I find a lodall a bit of a one trick pony, far more useful a tractor loader

yeah power shuttle would be good, I ran out of time I was needin 100HP grunt quickly an this came up shes dam near mint, never had a loader on so front end is good 6k hrs
no the clock genuine been pulling a tanker around the last 10 yr, a 4270 would have been the better choice but none came up that I liked, a pre fitted out fit I just wonder how much abuse its had at the hands of the wrong man,

a 4270 would not have been the better choice the 42 and 43 series fergys are crap! they are so basic and when you look the back axle is basically from a 165!
the 3000/3100 series are a lot better built the 61 are a bit poor but 6200 6400 etc proper tractors!

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the back axle or rear end of a 165

couldn't agree more in the 70s they were probably the bees knees and they cant half master a 2/3 furrow conventional! suppose times have moved on?

they just look poxy compared to other models but I suppose some people will regard the lower weight a big bonus such as more livestock men whereas mine has to do an amount of arable work as well so I want different things from it

A 2 or 3 furrow plough is for a t20 , anyway looks can be deceiving
