Okay,

Totally unscientific you understand, but after 6 weeks or so, this little tractor has only used 1/4 of a tank of fuel.

Further, I'm almost certain that it is the most economical tractor I've ever owned. :>)

And to think I only had to make one tiny, little behavior modification adjustment to the ol' sweetheart. :>)

Allan, DUH!!! It stays ground tied too I'll bet! With that thing you got mounted to it. It will be a sure bet it won't get much run time from Now-on-Out. L O L.
I need someone to explain something to me though.
You got a good looking,pretty useful loader on your H. So just what is the need of this rig. Justification for a tractor that is horribly ineffiecient on fuel? From the pics the other day there isn't a drawbar to pull a trailer on occasion, is there?
I'm not trying to be rude, or cute here I just don't get this old loader.
Later,
John A.

Hi John,

I'll be the first to admit it. I'm really biased when it comes to loaders; plus, I grew up on these old things and am just "comfortable" around 'em.

They are beefy, have the capacity and they have the reach. Just one heck of a lot of muscle; 'bout twice that of a F-11. Undoubtably, the most useful tool ever devised for use around a farm.

Yep, the drawbar is under there. Just kinda hidden by all the iron. :>)

Those shieldless PTO extensions always bother me. Looks like a hospital bill waiting to be sent.
I took the one off my loader tractor when I saw some part-time hired help stepping over it while leaving the tractor running.
Other than that...you've done a good job transforming iron into "working iron".

Now, maybe I'm the only one here that wonders, but how blessed high does that thing reach?

I mean, when I poke in Farmhand F11 Loader into a search, I found a pamphlet that shows something similar, but fits (among others) an farmall A,B,or C. Those are little tractors compared to what you put it on!

Dan,

This is the bigger version of the Farmhands, the F-10.

Newer model is the F-25, which puts the tilt cylinders outside and does away with the cables.

They are rated at 2 ton to 27 feet.

A hay hauler has a loader like that he uses to load his truck, and one year he bent a cylinder and put a new one on and just left the old one laying in the stack yard. First cutting the following year I ran that big ole cylinder through my haybine, conditioner and all. I've held a grudge against farmhand ever since

Hi Dave,

I've never understood how someone could bend one of those cylinders unless they had the thing with a heavy load extended clear out to 30 feet or so?

That's too darned high for me!

I don't know either. I think he can pick up twelve bales at a time and probably had them up close to 13ft, and probably bounced it across the corrugations. I don't know?

It's all hydraulic.

The tilt cylinder lives inside the upper left arm and runs up and down inside the arm on a pair of 3" rollers. The cable is attached to the ram head and is then routed out across two pulleys to the head of the loader.

The lift cylinders of course are the two big jaspers at the bottom of the loader.

I see both. Lift cylinders on the underside of the arms (maybe at the end of a long pipe?) and steel cables along the top for keeping the bucket at a certain pitch. I suppose that might qualify as nearly a self-levelling bucket, were it adjusted that way. As it sits, the forks are tipped slightly back (better for keeping the load on.)

Did you not see the pics a couple weeks back? Man that thing has reach!

That is one of the best loaders ever made. And on a good tractor too.
