Loaders & Backhoes in Caldwell, TX

On a Bad Boy, the front loader quick attach is part of the tractor. It's not sold as a separate implement. On the 1025, the loader is model BBL105, and a backhoe is available for the 1025 too, model BBH105. If you run a different brand of tractor, ask at the Bryan store about loader attachments for it. Bring its make and model. Then think about the work ahead: a bucket for dirt, forks for feed, a grapple for brush. Give us a call to talk it through before you make the drive.

A handful of Bad Boy implements are built to run on loader arms: pallet forks, front grapples, and hay spears and forks. Before you buy, check that the attachment's mounting matches your loader's quick attach. Forks move pallets, fencing supplies and feed sacks without a second trip. A grapple handles brush, logs and loose debris you don't want to touch by hand. It needs a spare hydraulic circuit. Hay spears and forks pick up and move round bales from field to barn. Think about what you haul most, then match the attachment to that job.

Grease the pins and bushings on a loader-arm attachment often, especially if you're running it daily. Check hydraulic hoses and fittings for cracks or leaks before heavy use too. Your attachment's manual gives the exact interval for your model, and that's the number to go by. A quick-attach mount sees a lot of stress swapping tools. Look it over each time. The shop at our Bryan store works on tractors, implements and mowers, including loader-arm attachments and grapples. If something doesn't look right, call the store.

Yes. The Bryan parts counter handles pins, bushings and hydraulic fittings, and the shop works on tractors, implements and mowers after the sale. If a pin, bushing or fitting wears out on a loader attachment, bring it to the shop. That holds whether you bought the attachment new or you're running one you already had. A grapple or fork takes wear at its pivot points first, so that's often where a repair starts. Have the attachment's make and model handy when you call about parts or service.

Our Bryan lot changes. Stock turns over. The best way to know what's there is to call or come look. A used grapple or pallet fork may be there one week and gone the next, so don't count on one without asking. Weighing new against used for a loader attachment? Think about how many hours of brush work, hay handling or feed moving it'll see each year. Then look hard at the pins and hoses on a used one. Worn pivots and weeping fittings tell you how hard it's worked.
