I’m still on the hunt for a front end loader for my 3300. I bought it with a snow plow blade up front a blower on the back for our brutal Wyoming winters. I’d really like to extend its use into year round with a FEL (without breaking the bank). Been watching for a LA480 or 481 but they are very elusive. A LA482 recently popped up locally. Anyone know if that could work with some mods? I’m having trouble chasing up much info on the differences.

Just looking at the mounts they are very close to each other.
There really isn't an easy way to compare the two.
This is just a pure guess but it looks pretty promising.

Thank you for that help. That particular one sold not long after I posted. They don’t last long! But I’ve got a lead on another L3300 close by with a Great Bend 240 loader on it and factory brackets. I’m desperate enough I might buy the tractor and yank the loader for mine and resell the bare tractor. I didn’t realize what a mess where was with “orphan loaders” and all that jazz. Learning through trial and error but I appreciate having a place like this to bounce around ideas!!! Thanks
