front end loader.
front end loader.
I've seen videos of dexta based tractor's with front end loaders. Are dexta tractors interchangeable with the 8n/9n platform? I've yet to find a front end loader for a dexta (super dexta)
Re: front end loader.
In UK most Dexta FELs are Horndraulic - readily available 2nd hand & cheap. There's also the MIL loader. I can't comment on other countries.cattleguy wrote:I've seen videos of dexta based tractor's with front end loaders. Are dexta tractors interchangeable with the 8n/9n platform?

Re: front end loader.
Dextas will not interchange with 8N or9N. The framework is different. Although I have a Ford 19-97 loader on my Super Dexta, the mounting brackets were altered to fit. Not too hard if you have access to metal cutting tools and a welder.

I wondered if 8n/9n would fit. I'm in the US
Re: front end loader.
I put a Wagner off a 8N on my Dexta. Nice, but too heavy within itself. Sold it to a happy buyer.
I now have a Great Bend # 666 to mount on one of my Super Dexta tractors.
It is a center frame mount and removeable, leaving only the frame. Great Bend was bought out by Bush Hog. Look at the current Bush hog 40 HP loaders and thats basically the GB 666.
It in the end, when I mount it will be a custom loader. I intend to put a joy-stick control and may even put a power steering kit I have on hand for Dextas'. All looks compatible.

Note: I was looking for a Freeman loader to fit a ford, when I found this GB 666.

Power steering makes all the difference in the world! Got it on mine.
