Got one of these http://m.ebay.co.uk/itm/301488035432 for my quicke loader from local garage think anywhere that gets stuff from farmhand or fastparts can get them.

I would just try my local massey dealer yours, yours is probly mc hales. I always find my local dealers know exactly what I need instantly, and are fairly good value for parts

Change the headstock of the loader now to a euro quick attach.

It will be easier in the long run when purchasing implements and you can share implements with the neighbours.

May to May not be a good thing sharing ability btw!

I changed the head on my mailleux loader to euro head a few months ago just after buying the loader. Would definitely recommend it. least you can buy a 2nd implement with euro head brackets on it. or get the loan off a lad either.

so I bought mine following a referral I got on here. lads were sound to deal with but he euro head still needed changes and bushings made. so I was disappointed. it was €315 plus the cost to change to fit the loader that it was suppose to fit.


How I have got on so far. Well I got a spike made with euro brackets so that was grand. Bought a bucket that had tanco brackets on it. cut them off and I should get €30/40 for them. Bought euro brackets for €60 and welded on and gave €20 for welding on and cutting off old brackets. so net €40 cost.

But where I found it the best. I went on Saturday to borrow a set of pallet forks for the loader. Called him, and went and collected and no issue. that's where they come into your own now as most newer loaders are euro.

A combi head can take euro brackets(also known as euro 8) and the older type quicke brackets(also known as quicke no.3)

The combi has a bar around the height the bucket Rams attach to the headstock at then has a bit that steps up higher at the outer edges to take the top hook of the newer euro bracket.









The proper name for the tractor type is euro 8, as euro bracket is also the name for the type that jcb loading shovels and the likes use, that have a big 60mm hook up top and are about 2ft tall!
