Question on Loaders for Tractors

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Looking for something around 30 HP to use forks and maybe a bucket to push snow. Every tractor is see ( 1950- 1980) has the bucket 3-4 feet in front of the front wheels ?? Why so far out ?  Much better design if closer to the wheels.. Is this because they use one loader size to fit several tractors ? ........ Looking at skid steers and the bucket is less than 1 foot in front of the tires ..... Newer tractor / loaders seem to be a little better in this area, but i dont have $10- 15K in mind.
WE have a CASE 530 industrial backhoe / loader tractor.. Looking for something a little smaller and no hoe.

	One possible reason is 'reach' ? The longer the loader arms are , the HIGHER the load can go ( say 2nd floor of a barn ). Skid steers loader pivots at the back,unlike a tractor, so can just dump into a dump truck, more or less. Also tractor loaders are designed to easily come off.
