My Westendorf
Customer Testimonials
I really like the quick-tach bucket teeth. They work really good for scooping manure, an you were the only company I found that had a quick-tack style so the teeth don't need to be bolted on. When I want them off they're off and when I want them on, they're on in just a few minutes. That's quite a patent and loader you have. I like everything about my TA-28 loader - It's the best. I clear a lot of manure, as I have a lot of cattle. I use it to haul wood and handle brush. It's got good lift height (over 13') and works great for stacking bales. I couldn't get along without it!

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%!

"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 have used the Brush Crusher to pile trees as high as the loader will go. I no longer have to cut up trees to get them to the burn pile, I just pick up the whole tree and stack it for burning. When I first got the attachment, I had trouble understanding how to work the Brush Crusher. They sent out a man to set it up and show me how to work it. Name any other company that will do that for one person who bought a small item as a Brush Crusher. The Brush Crusher has saved me dozens of chain saw chains and an aching back.

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 bought a TA-28 Plus, and we installed it ourselves. It went on very easy, and we were very impressed with the instructions. I would recommend this unit to anyone.

My 2008 Westendorf TA-26 has exceeded all my expectations. When I moved the loader from a 1965 Ford tractor to a 1990 Ford cab tractor it bolted right up with no problem using the same mounts.
Westendorf's customer support is awesome, I talked to a real person and not to an automated system. Westendorf gets an A+ for the advice they offered for their product.

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 owned a weld shop, and I was continuously fixing and repairing loaders. When I bought myself a loader, I was determined it was going to be a Westendorf loader. Nobody else had one like it. Whenever they saw my loader, they would say, 'That's the stoutest loader I've ever seen!' It was built stronger, and I never had any trouble with it.
What really convinced me of the loader's strength is in the following story:
I had a fire break out in the barn, over 2,000 gallons of gasoline started on fire. I had my tractor and loader parked in the barn. The fire melted the tires right off the tractor, melted the tractor's hood and busted up the cab. The loader was scorched, the decals and hoses had melted off, but I wasn't sure about the loader's condition so I called my local Westendorf dealer to come out and take a look. He told me that loader had an internal I-Beam or double wall construction and the loader wasn't damaged. I couldn't believe it didn't split the loader's frame. Nothing warped, no welds were broken, the bucket was still in excellent condition. I couldn't believe the loader wasn't hurt - I took it up the road to a body shop, had it sand blasted, repainted, reinstalled the hoses and sold it.
That was a good loader. I had a dozer blade, bucket and pallet fork. Even after 10 years I never had to sharpen the bucket's blade. I leveled dirt, pushed out trees and sprouts, the blade stayed sharp. I really like the easy hook up system. I could sit in the tractor seat and see what I was working with. The low-profile allowed me to see to align the units. All I had to do was back up, hook on to the other attachment and I was back to work.
My Westendorf loader was a really fine outfit - that's for sure. If I were to go back into farming again, I definitely wouldn't buy anything but a Westendorf.

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

I purchased my Westendorf loader (a TA-26) years ago, it is now on my third tractor (3020 JD, 1025 Belarus and now a 5303 JD) it is working as good as new.

I have had the BC-3000 for several years now, which I use on my Kubota B3030 HSDC tractor with the LA403 loader. I have over 7000 trees on my property, which are constantly dying and I also purchase firewood. The BC-3000 has been an extremely useful tool in handling trees. It was the best money I ever spent.
