I'm considering a Massey Ferguson model 90 front-end loader for sale, to attach to my Ford 2000 tractor. How can I find out before buying if it will fit my tractor?
Most likely your local New Holland dealer will not know. If you plan to attach it yourself , good luck. What I would do is take it to my local mechanic that works on anything. He will most likely have to buy additional bolts , cut the metal , and weld it in different spots. Then there is the hydraulic hookup. I have 2 tractors with front end loaders with the hydraulic fitted to existing remotes which makes it a pain to use the front end loader or pull a disk at same time. The Ford 2000 is a 20 year or older tractor and has one set of remotes at most. If the Massey Ferguson front end loader has one hydraulic to lift the front end loader and another hydraulic to use frount bucket, fork , or whatever, you will need add another set of remotes to the Ford 2000 or have a (do not know the exact name of device) splitter to mount on tractor so to have two hydraulic functions from 1 remote which can get expensive(over a thousand bucks here in splitter). Hope I made this clear.
