hoppy 0 #1 Posted June 14, 2010 Did wheel horse make a one arm hydraulic loader? there is a wheel horse in the local classifieds that has a one arm loader on it. arm is on the right if your sitting on machine and there is a bunch of round weights on the left side. is this weird or do they work ok?

wallfish 16,980 #2 Posted June 14, 2010 Sounds interesting, Can you post some pics of it or give us a link? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevebo-(Moderator) 8,330 #3 Posted June 14, 2010 Fireman already had the first look at it and passed on it. He can chime in maybe... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Buzz 502 #4 Posted June 14, 2010 Oldandred (Jerry) has a one armed loader on one of his 'horses that he likes. Of course he also has a yellow 'Horse with spots..... Maybe he can give you some insight on it.(The loader not the 'Horse) :USA: 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fireman 1,021 #5 Posted June 14, 2010 I went and saw it. Thing needs tons of work. The loader is plumbed off the hydro and barely moves. Looks like the PO started to add an oil tank to the rear so it could run independently from the transmission. the throttle and wiring is hacked. The engine is a K301 and didn't look original and smokes a lot. The guy won't budge on the price. He said he would rather put it in the shed and leave it there for 10 years then let it go at a cheaper price. Here are some pictures: (PS It looks much better in the pictures than in person) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duff 206 #6 Posted June 14, 2010 I'm no mechanical engineer, but from the look of that set-up, the torsional stresses on the frame and lift mechanism have to be terrific if you put any decent load in the bucket. What did they hope to accomplish with this design? I had never even heard of or seen this type of arrangement until now, and I think I know why! (No offense meant, Jerry!)

pfrederi 17,647 #7 Posted June 14, 2010 Ford had a one armed loader that was installed on 2N-9N and 8N tractors. Looked strange but apparently worked. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,704 #11 Posted June 14, 2010 Makes you wonder if there isn't another one out there...only it's on the PORT side. :D Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CasualObserver 3,408 #12 Posted June 14, 2010 You used to be able to buy the plans to build that loader from PF Engineering. I would guess they still have it. Their plans have been pretty popular for years with other brands. Just never really caught on with the Wheel Horse crowd. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel Horse Fan 3 #13 Posted June 14, 2010 There are plans out there to build a similar loader. According to the website the load rating is 200 lbs at full height. cad plans.com Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
robinpaint 1 #14 Posted April 30, 2013 I own it now. It's on a C-120-8. I have worked it hard around my yard and moved alot of snow during those big storms two years ago. Nothing twisted, nothing bends, strong as a two arm. I can easily fuel up or tune from the left side. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
