I have a 1985 L-305 (2WD). I bought used last year for for $3500. I use it around on a small horse farm to mow, dig post holes, move round bales (on 3 point), and spread dirt with a box blade. I could use a FEL from time to time cleaning stalls and moving sand. My local dealer wants $5200 for a new Rhino loader. This is not reasonable for me. It's almost twice what I payed for the tractor.<br>
I know a 2WD has it's limitations, but I think I can live with them. Being my tractor is so old I can't find any information on available loaders.<br>
I have found a used LA300, but the guy don't know what it fits either. <br>
Any suggestions or help.

Chuck<br>I have a 4300 with a 430 loader. Using the belly mower plates, I mounted a 6 1/2 foot western plow with a short A frame, by building a quick-tach hookup to connect to the weight bar and the mower plates. It truly is a super setup, and I can drop it quickly by disconnecting the three hyd. hoses, then removing two bolts that hold it to the weight bar, and tipping it out from the connection to the mower plates. It allows me to move quickly to the 430 loader to bucket snow away if necessary. I was spoiled with a western plow on my JD 420 two-cylinder, and plow about 1000 feet of driveway in two or three passes in the deepest snows we get around Madison, WI for the past 30 years. I wanted to get something similar hooked up on my year-old 4300.
