In my opinion, the best improvement to come along in attachments is the Stack Saver.  I stack large round bales three high in my hay shed and had lots of trouble with the top bale sticking and not wanting to come off the bale stabber.  Now with the Stack Saver, I put the top bale on the stack and push it off the stabber while I back up the tractor.  It has saved me an unknown amount of time and a lot of bad words.

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.

I like the Power-Mount and quick attach features of my Westendorf Loader. I change attachments three times a day on my TA-26.  I have a pallet fork, bucket and hay spear that keep my 800 head of cattle fed.

I saw your article to Farm Bureau Magazine. We bought a loader of yours in 1972 and later a grapple fork in 1976. All is still working well. Only one little cylinder repair once. We feed cattle and it is used hard for everything. My cost of the loader at the time was $1111.11 bought from Barnard Implement in Eldora, IA. I am 82 years old and still using your loader after 34 years. Keep up the good work.

I have three Westendorf loaders--WL-42C, TA-26, and a WL-21 I've had for over 30 years. I use my TA-26 and 42C for round bales. Westendorf has the best high lift loader for hay. The Quick-Attach is nice to convert other attachments on the market to my Westendorf loader. None are broken or busted up. They still work and look good!

I bought a John Deere 7320 tractor and a Westendorf TA-28 loader. I wouldn't trade my Westendorf for two of those green ones. A friend of mine has the same tractor with a JD loader on it; he has broken the quick couplers twice, and almost tipped over because of how far the loader sits out in front of the tractor. I also have a WL-21, and my brother has a WL-42 and a TA-28. We both love them!

They Just Don't Compare I own both a 20 series and 40 series Traction Action Loader by Westendorf.  I've owned others in the past, and they just don't compare.  My Westendorfs are large loaders built with strength and durability.  I can easily push silage into my bunker, and my GF-52 grab fork comes back out of the way so I never have to take it off.  It's an excellent tool to handle bunker silage.

I was a big hay farmer at one time. I owned both a IH 686 with a 2250 IH loader and another with a John Deere 146 loader. We needed another loader tractor for sharecropping so in looking around,  I bought a new TA-26 Westendorf and put it on an IH 826. In the long run the Westendorf loader is the best, hands down.  I decided to retire and had to sell out.  I sold six tractors and many pieces of equipment.  My old 826 and Westendorf loader is NOT for sale.  I have had it about 10 years and not spent anything on the loader and there are no welds on it.  I am very well satisfied.
