Redesigned “Mini Loader” For Deere Garden Tractors TRACTORS Loaders “About a year ago I built a mini loader for my Deere 318 garden tractor that was featured in FARM SHOW Vol 39 No 3 It’s designed mainly to move snow and lift heavy objects up into my pickup The response I got – and am still getting – from readers has been incredible ” says Steve Nichols Galesburg Ill “I’ve enjoyed helping FARM SHOW readers who want to build their own loaders I have now made an even better loader for my Deere 445 It’s designed to fit Deere’s 425 445 and 455 garden tractors and is based on an entirely different design I call it my ACME Iron Werx Loader Anyone with good fabricating skills can easily build it I don’t have any plans or blueprints for it but I’ll be happy to answer questions for anyone who’s interested “My new loader has what I call ‘girder’ style arms which are less expensive to build than the boomerang-style arms on my previous loader It lifts 54 in high which should allow dumping over the side of a pickup or into a utility trailer The bucket is 48 inches wide The loader operates off the tractor’s standard onboard hydraulic system and doesn’t interfere with the tractor’s belly-mounted mower deck or the ability to open the tractor’s hood “I would be happy to help anyone who wants to try his hand at making a loader like mine Also I’m willing to sell this loader as I’m already working on yet another design I intend to make plans available for my next design ” Contact: FARM SHOW Followup Steve Nichols 1248 N Seminary St Galesburg Ill 61401 ph 309 337-7141; seminarybob@gmail com
