Loaders

Does anyone have experience / opinion about a KMW vs. Westendorf loader?

I ass-u-me your meaning a front end loader for a tractor. Westendorf appears to me to be built a little lighter. KMW I believe is real similar to the old GB loader which was an excellent front end loader for many years. Just my nickels worth.

Shag, thanks for the input. We agreed with your opinion about the KMW being built a little heavier. We purchased a 1860 KMW for a JD 8300 tractor.

Hi guys,

Could anyone get me some information on the front mounting brackets on a Westendorf TA-26 loader for a 986 International Harvester? I purchased one from a friend and I am unsure how the brackets on the tractor and loader are made. Does anyone have any close up pictures of the front brackets.
