It’s not not a great success. You won’t get the tilt right, if it’s something to lift a bale and drop it into a ring feeder it will just about work but there is no comfort in it. I done one a good few years back and regretted ever wasting my time.

I converted a tanco 978 with something like that , but it was the implements that were wrong. 978 arms had to go up along the side of the implement rather than the back. any way by degrees I got the implements right,

Okay the front loader brackes are very wide on the bomford where u hook on tink around 48 inch so they're wont fit onto ur average 4 ft grab even

I extended out the carrier brackets on a euro head converter so as to make it work, take my advice on it and just scrap the loader and look out for a clean second hand mx or quicke loader.

Yea was trying to do something similar op. A lot of the conversion heads still seem to need modification. I was trying to source one for a mf 880 loader and they all seem too narrow. Anyone sourced one that suits a mf hook style head.

Its hard to get one dat u can just Weld on to old loader without lot of modifications
