Help with front loader for L245DT

[colejackson4]

I have a L245DT that I bought and love but would love it more if it had a front loader. There is a fellow I know that has a complete front loader of an unknown make and model that he would give me for free. The problem is the loader is too large for the tractor and likely much too heavy. My inquiry for those out there who would know or help is, does anyone have a L1200 front loader or other factory optioned loader they could give me some measurements/details on the size and weight of the loader itself and how it mounts to the tractor. My plan would be to modify this free loader to be relatively similar to a factory one to hopefully not damage the tractor. I would love to be able to buy a premade loader or even find a factory one but I’m limited on the funds.

Look for an aftermarket loader like a Koyker that is sized for your tractor if you can’t find the Kubota compatible loader.

What is the make and model of the loader that you can get?
You will need to make a subframe for any non factory loader.
