MaineDad 85 #1 Posted March 13, 2011 So as some of you know, I have been looking for a FEL for a long time. Well this morning my Wheel Horse Loader hunt is over! Many thanks to Darren who met me at 6am this morning for the drive to Bangor, we came home and installed this Ark Loader on the C-120! It came with a snow bucket and smaller dirt bucket too. I will not post any videos until I get the hang of operating the loader Thanks again Darren for the help - and many thanks to Bobby too!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sorekiwi 761 #2 Posted March 13, 2011 Congratulations Micah! That looked like a great deal, most of the loaders you see are beat to hell, that one looks very nice. So which bucket is on the tractor now? I'm guessing thats the big one. Would love to see a picture of the other one as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MaineDad 85 #4 Posted March 13, 2011 Yup that's the snow bucket. We did put the smaller bucket on after those pics were taken. Will of course add more pictures. This thing even at 1/4 throttle operates with ease... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Gerry w 2 #7 Posted March 13, 2011 Wicked warm - in the high 30's today Hope you put on some sun screen! Really nice looking rig! That thing looks great on there, I'm sooooo green!! Really nice haul, bet that filled up Darren's truck! Thanks for the pics, been waiting all day to show them to Kathy to let her know what I need next!! Are you going to use the weight box you made or the one that came with the loader? I see you swapped out the other in the pics. Gerry Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MaineDad 85 #8 Posted March 13, 2011 Thanks Gerry. The weight box that came with the loader will be on when the loader is on. The one I made does not fit with the loader frame. Just don't have your wife call mine until mine gets over the sticker shock and gets to see the benefits of having a loader. The reviews won't be good until then :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Gerry w 2 #9 Posted March 13, 2011 Just don't have your wife call mine until mine gets over the sticker shock and gets to see the benefits of having a loader. The reviews won't be good until then Will do and thanks for the heads up! That thing is going to really help you out in the spring when you compost your garden. No more shoveling! Well, not nearly as much! Again, nice grab! :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgoyette 12 #10 Posted March 13, 2011 Anytime Micah...I had a good time helping. That is one nice and capable set up. Really Nice!! It looks just as nice in person too. I was amazed at the original condition of this loader. Nice meeting Bobby too. Gerry, I'm sure one will come your way. I will certainly let you know if I find one by chance. I agree you need one for that property of yours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgtsampay 117 #11 Posted March 13, 2011 :thumbs: Glad to see it working well. I love happy endings. It was great seeing you Darren.

dennist 139 #14 Posted March 13, 2011 Micah, That set-up looks awesome! Like earlier posted it looks like it is made for the C. You guys wasted no time hooking it up. Did it install quite easily? It looked to be pretty simple install with a couple guys, especially when one of you have done several times in the past. Enjoy-Dennis Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 36,961 #15 Posted March 13, 2011 Looks awesome, really nice score there. I can wait to see a video of that new FEL in action. No pressure, have fun honing some skills. We'll be waiting. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SNYFIX 12 #21 Posted March 15, 2011 Still reccomend dual rear wheels and as everyone asks for, the heavy duty front wheel spindles. Nice loader tho. Last known price new was $3,500.00 !! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

squonk 39,135 #24 Posted March 15, 2011 The best thing about a loader for snow removal is: Big GRAVEL PILES after the snow melts! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sgtsampay 117 #25 Posted March 21, 2011 Hey Micah. It looks like you can use it tomorrow for that huge snow storm we are getting. LOL. Would love to see some pictures. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
