The Gman 476 #1 Posted April 12, 2021 I've gotten so much use out of this 1054. Today was re grading behind the pool and leveling for a walkway. 3 9 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

krystolo 504 #3 Posted April 12, 2021 Wow! I love it. Is this a custom build, or available commercially? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There aren’t many if any companies building them for Wheel Horse any longer... We need to find old ones or build ‘em ourselves now... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Gman 476 #5 Posted April 12, 2021 The loader is a kwikway self leveling. Spent years looking before I found one. I'm in Canada, they're like hens teeth to find. If I could I'd find ways to use it everyday. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tractorhead 9,064 #8 Posted April 12, 2021 (edited) Self leveling on a Loader is a great improvment Kevin. and yes, the upper linkage is for the self leveling mechanism 👍 Edited April 12, 2021 by Tractorhead 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was $218, but I couldn't make one that was removable much cheaper. Two bolts and its off. Teeth are replaceable but I doubt I'll ever wear them out. www.

Good front end loaders are hard to come by anyplace. I drove from Franklin, NC to Cherry Hill, NJ (750 miles) to pick up my FEL. It is so handy that I don't know how I got along without one. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
