My Westendorf

Customer Testimonials

I have bought and mounted my new forks on the tractor. I absolutely LOVE the forks--they are GREAT!!!

Kevin Killen - LaFontaine, IN

Attention all farmers and ranchers, if you want a fantastic loader that slides on and off quickly, Westendorf is the loader for you. I have used a WL-42 for years, parted with it, and got me a John Deere 740…biggest mistake I ever made! The 740 don't slide off like the Westendorf models, and I will be trading or selling my tractor with the 740 on it and getting a Westendorf to replace it. The 740 is a joke the way it comes on and off, and I can't wait to have a Westendorf on the farm again! Just another satisfied Westendorf loader customer. Keep up the great job. Yours truly, Phil.

I am extremely happy with my Westendorf TA-26 loader. I have always bought Bush Hog in the past, but they don't hold a candle to a Westendorf loader. I like it 100%!

When I went shopping for a loader, I did some research, and word of mouth told me that Westendorf was the way to go. Everybody that I talked to only had good things to say, especially if I ever needed replacement parts. So, after getting my WL-42, I can tell you that it is the best loader I have ever seen, and I've seen a few loaders in my time. I like the way it mounts and dismounts, the quick-attach system, and the overall fit and performance. My brother liked it so much after trying it out, he bought the exact same loader two weeks later. Now we can share attachments and get twice as much done.

It Was Fun I tried to buy a used WL-42 years ago at a farm sale.  I was always outbid over the price of a new WL-21.  My banker understood, and in no time I got my new 21 loader.  My local dealer said I could pick it up at the factory, and you know, it was fun!  Those guys bent over backwards to get my new loader to me.  That was 15 years ago.  It's about time somebody said something about being built in the GOOD OLD USA again.  Tell them boys doin' the weldin' to keep up the good work... they got it better than NASA when it comes to steel!

I put a TA-29 loader on a 4030 John Deere with a cab, and it works great and the vision is good. I have a bucket and spear, and they change very easy and quickly. I would recommend this loader to anyone with a row crop tractor.

I have a 60" version of the Rear-Ender Auto-Dump on my YM2000 for a few years.  It works great for the investment.  I have spread and leveled gravel, dug drainage reliefs on field edges, and it really works great for moving snow.  Add a hydraulic stop link (high lifter kit) and it becomes a heck of a machine.

"Everyone says it's the Cadillac - but it's the Mercedes. It's a good heavy loader with good visibility. Other loaders sit a foot and a half above the hood, and that makes it hard to see. I love the quick On and Off feature because I don't have to lie down in the mud to take the loader off."

I received the Westendorf Cool Cap Canopy for my John Deere 4310 today.  It took less than 1 hour to install.  All the parts and hardware were there.  First time in a while I have put something together that wasn't missing even a single washer.  The instructions were well written and easy to follow.  Must have been written by someone in this country. (American English).

I've hauled everything in this loader (WL-42) but the Queen of England!

Scott Yeargain - Ottawa, KS

Easy On & Off I like the versatility my loader offers me by freeing up my tractor for other chores.  I can take it off practically anywhere.  Two minutes is actually stretching it for the time required to mount or dismount a Westendorf; plus you don't have to leave the tractor seat once the hoses are connected.

John Neuman - Baraboo, WI

Years ago my brother owned a WL-40, and we’d use that in our farming operation daily. When I bought my own farmstead, I needed to get myself a loader tractor. I had an IH 1086 and put a brand new WL-42 on that tractor in 1980. I’ve been using that loader every day since. I decided it was time to upgrade, and I wanted a Westendorf so I took a look at the FM-560 loader and was sold. All I needed to do was find a tractor to match it. I really like the looks of the loader; it’s a modern loader for a modern tractor. The day the tractor and loader were delivered, my son, Philip, liked it too; he took his girlfriend out for a cruise around the section. Over the years I had to replace a cylinder in my WL-42, the new Freedom Mount loader’s hydraulic fittings are a real good improvement over the threaded fittings – it saved a lot of time wrenching on hoses. I like the new swivel fittings it eliminates twisted hoses.
