ALO Bucket?

[houser52]

Do any of you know anything about ALO in Sweden?

I'm changing my Kubota L3600 loader over to SSQA. Instead of of modifying my original bucket I decided to just keep it and buy a new SSQA bucket.

Today I went to a local farm equipment dealer, which I've known for years, and he had a few new ALO buckets for sale that he recently picked up. He told me that ALO is in Sweden, makes OEM equipment for a lot of of the major brands and the quality is good.

The welds looked good and so was the overall look of the buckets. I ended up buying one and bringing it home. Tonight I Googled ALO and found out what he said was correct, they make stuff or have made for Massey, Kubota, Bush Hog and others.

Any other info would be appreciated.

If you ever heard of Quicke loaders you've heard of ALO, they do make good equipment.

Thanks a lot Wolfman. Sounds like I did okay by buying it.

I looked at it a little more yesterday. Even though it's also a 60" bucket, compared to my Kubota pin on bucket, it's not quite as big or heavy. It's not quite as tall and a wee bit shallower however, the ALO measures 60" inside and the Kubota measures 60" outside.

None of that really matters to me if it holds up to the work okay.
