any opinions on these wheel loaders.
They were good loaders back in the day. They don't stand a chance against todays loaders. It might work out good on a farm or some light duty work. You still can buy parts through your New Holland dealer. Some parts might be hard to get now, but basic parts you should be able to get.
use just looking for littel use around farm. loading chicken litter, removing some small brush, making shallow drainage ditches and snow.
There is a local company that has an old Ford they use in the yard. It loads topsoil, sand, and gravel that the company has in the yard. It also pushes snow, and loads out equipment, trench boxes and things of that nature. Parts may be the only issue, but given its age, you should be able to find parts that cross over. If you have a new holland dealer you shouldnt have to many parts problems, with the case new holland joint venture you may be able to order parts at a case dealership
I operated one over twenty years ago and it seemed to be a little tippy compared to our other loaders of the same size. We also had a ongoing problem with the brakes so we ended up selling it. Just my two cents worth.
