Bag Lifter MF135

We had a 135 with a quickie loader and it used to lift the big bags. Lifted em ok,but only barely lifted em high enough to go over the spreader was the only issue…

Is the spreader on the 135? If not would you consider a forklift mast type of setup? Load would be close to the back of the tractor.

Used a slashers to open it from what I remember, was a good while ago…

Would a tail slave be a option for you? Whatever you use you'll probably need front weights for a 135.

McConnell Tail Slave.

Only thing is I think you might need more spools than a 135 would have. You'd normally have a hydraulic top link to keep it level and then another spool for the mast. They are cheap, light and not as cumbersome as the full size forklifts. The ones above have side shifts on them which wasn't on the one we had.

Yes. You could get by with one, but you need to be really careful with the hydraulics as is you raise the arms too high they will hit the roof of your cab.

I've one of these:

It's an even easier job, 2 bolts and valve is fitted and no need for feed/ return hoses on the tractor side of the valve.

Or there is this one, it is a bit pricey but gives 2 double acting spools and extra lever to operate the arms so you can use the lift and operate spools independently.
