My Westendorf
Customer Testimonials
My loader is working great. It is the only loader to buy. My dealer recommended Westendorf on my first tractor and that's all I've bought ever since. I've had other brands, but nothing compares to my Westendorf. I use it mainly for dirt, gravel and hay. I recommend Westendorf to all of my neighbors.

I bought a Snap-Attach for my Allis-Chalmer 460 loader, bucket, spear, plus manure forks at the 2005 National Farm Show in Louisville, KY. In 2006 I bought the FL-48 forklift at the National Farm Show. I set up my loader to the Snap-Attach system, and it works great! I go from moving round bales to moving pallets to scooping manure in just seconds!

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.

Adding Fingers to My Loader I had this huge rock in my yard, and it wouldn't fit in my bucket. I had an opportunity to test a new product for Westendorf and was amazed at the power these teeth have. In addition to picking up that rock, I've moved culverts, cleaned out my trees, and hauled piles of firewood and debris. It was like adding fingers to the end of my loader arms. Jobs that would have been messy and taken me hours were done in just minutes!

Fit My Super Steer I have a Genesis New Holland 8670 tractor and Westendorf customized an XTA-700 loader with an extra long tower to fit the Super Steer model. I've never had a joystick before, and I am in the process of hooking it up to my tractor. Without access to a local dealer, I decided to call Westendorf. The guy at Westendorf really knew his stuff and helped me understand how to plumb in the new joystick. Westendorf is a good company; they are always concerned and willing to listen to feedback and suggestions from the field to update and improve their product line.

A Man's Two Best Friends... His Westendorf and His Dog I really like the 340 loader; it's a very powerful loader, and it's made very well. This loader really looks good on the tractor, like it's been molded to fit; you can see really well because of this. I especially like the heavy-duty bucket and how easy the loader is to take on and off the tractor. I've used it for everything around the farm and have not had any problems. I'm a satisfied customer.

Custom Contour I recently purchased a New Holland TS115A tractor with a Custom Contour 340 Loader. This loader is even better than my previous Westendorf loader I had.

I have a Westendorf quick-attach loader on my 684 International Tractor now, and it has been great! It is probably the most used implement I have. All the Westendorf products I have seen have been top quality, and I would not hesitate to purchase a Westendorf product.
Lewis R. Gooding - Monerey, TN
I'm 71 years old and have farmed all my life. Over the years I have owned 24 Westendorf gears, 2 front-end loaders, and a grapple fork. I trust Westendorf--they are built real heavy duty.
Joe Stoll - Primghar, IA
I currently own a WL-42 front-end loader, which is on a 185 Allis Chalmers tractor. I would like to state that this is the finest loader I have ever seen. This thing is incredibly easy to install/remove I cannot imagine owning any other loader.

I wish to thank all who had a hand in installing the TA-160 loader on my tractor. Everyone was helpful and could not have done more. I have now used the loader and it works great! I know it will save me much hard work. Thank you all.

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.
