Here's a link of his 1882 with FEL.

what about what I've read concerning 1" spindles on the front.... Just to throw my .02 in.... I can see with a big load needing them, but is that a must?

With a Danco RD-300 it's rated for 300lbs lifting. Danco RD-1000 350 lbs so no need for 1' spindles. I'll have to check onthe RD-2000 but I don't think it's that much more. The manual does show the option for HD hubs for the RD-300 and RD-1000.

My Kwik-Way is rated at 750 lbs but mine does not have the 1" spindles. I have no idea on what the Johnson loaders can lift but I'll try and do some reading to see.

The P.F. Engineering FEL can lift 1000 lbs and they give you the info on where to order the HD hubs with 1' spindles.

I believe the Johnson's were rated at 350-400lbs. Gotta have counter weight on the back though.

If you want to put a loader on a super, I'd recommend going for an 1872 or 2072 and up. Not to bash a 982 (I have one and love it!), but the power steering would be a dream. If you already have a 982, you could also add power steering. Just my

The power steering would be nice on any loader tractor!

Which of these loaders is the easiest to attach and remove? From what you are all saying, it seems that a SGT with power steering is the best match for an FEL? Yes?

didn't Matt switch his out to 1"..... I see on P.F. engineering site they have a "free" how-to on converting your 3/4" to 1" spindles.... pretty cool looking too!!!

My 682 w/ loader has its OEM 1" front spindles.

My thoughts after having my Kwik-way loader on 2 different tractors:

SGT is probably the way to go, but 99% of the loaders out there have a bucket narrower than an SGT. Someday my 682 will probably get the PS from a cyclops tractor. My loader used to be on a gear drive, and that sucked. Hydro is the way to go. I used an 82 series because they are really easy to work on, which is important, because the loader gets in the way of working on a lot of stuff. None of them go on or off very easy; it's a two-person job, and I feel it's best to have a dedicated loader tractor. If you have a manual lift tractor, remove the lift handle, as it'll just be in the way if you don't.

Also, a lot of loaders that you'll find are going to have a really kludged-together subframe. This was the case with mine, and I started from scratch, designing one that would be more than sufficient to handle the loads and never damage the tractor. Details are on my website if you are curious.

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
