What model Simplicity?

Hey there Daniel. There is no valve for that. Guess you could disconnect the hoses. Don’t know if that helps you or not.

@@jonah327 Thanks for the reply, Jonah.

Thanks bud. Just a heads up on the loader, the mounting rods that attach to the engine mount scored my hood on both sides and I can only get one on the spring pins to lock into the front hitch frame. Don’t think it was measured right.

@@jonah327 better to get the CTC Loader instead?

@@beunbad probably. But dealing with the owner has had some mixed reviews when support is needed. Check out some reviews on both before you make a decision.

@@jonah327 Yes ,I have heard that. I hear that he is getting a bit better though. I’m trying to decide between machines for my one acre. Needs a lot of work but once done I think I could use a good garden tractor with one of these loaders and a three point. Wanted a 1 Series but not sure my acre would be to small for it.

@@beunbad I know the feeling. I always keep wanting to go bigger but I had to settle myself down and realize what purpose it would be used for most of the time. The 1025R will cut grass, but not as nice as the x700’s. But it can come with a better and stronger loader than the x700 will with the aftermarket brands. Also, comes with the 3pt hitch. By the time you add that all up, you could have the 1025r. Another plus to the x700’s besides the cut quality is the stability on slopes. The 1025 sits a bit higher which may be an issue. So, do you sacrifice cut quality for attachability and power? Tough call.

I liked the fact that it had more support being attached to the engine mount frame along with the front hitch. Had more of a traditional feel for a loader. What I don’t like is that the bars you connect to the engine mount scratch your hood!! I was pretty pissed off about that. I don’t see any way in the design to avoid it. So now I have a scarred hood on each side forever. I didn’t like the little bucks loader having all the weight on the far front axle and how far in front the bucket is when extended. I probably should’ve gotten the CTC loader for a little extra money. Hope that helps! Thanks for watching!

@@jonah327 you mean it scratched it installing it or while in operation?

@@jamesmabry2261 installing it. You need to take the hood off to put it on and when I put the hood back on and closed it, it scratched it on both sides 4”

Yes, they installed it for the snowblower. I did lock out the deck for this use

The website says it’ll work on a 445. Not sure if they have the same frame. Don’t see why not. I would call or email for that question. www.littlebuckloader.com/littlebull

@@jonah327 alright, thanks! I kinda was thinking the same thing, they should have the same frame and everything.

@@jonah327 wow, I didn't even notice where it said it would support a 445!! Glad I asked! Thanks for the help!!

@@LS1sLegoGarage Anytime! Good luck

I’ve got a 60” plow blade and a 48” snowblower, so I wouldn’t really use the loader in the winter. I have done some light ground engaging projects with it though. Used it to level off an area for the kids trampoline. The toothbar makes it all happen with that. Without it, it’s a battle.
