Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 1390 fit my tractor and existing setup?
Fitment depends on your tractor model, mounting system, and hydraulic specifications. The 1390 is commonly paired with mid- to higher-horsepower tractors found on many southern Alberta farms, but exact compatibility should always be confirmed before installation. Because farms often run mixed equipment brands, mounting kits and hydraulic hookups are selected to match existing setups. A proper fit check ensures safe operation, correct lift performance, and smooth hydraulic response under load.
How much maintenance does the 1390 farm loader require?
Maintenance is straightforward and similar to other modern farm loaders. Regular greasing of pivot points, inspection of pins and bushings, and checking hydraulic hoses will help maintain performance during peak seasons. Prairie conditions—dust, mud, and cold temperatures—make routine inspections especially important. Keeping hydraulic connections clean and addressing wear early helps reduce downtime during busy periods like seeding and harvest. Most operators integrate loader checks into their regular equipment maintenance schedule.
Can the 1390 handle heavy bales and winter feeding work?
Yes, the 1390 is commonly used for bale handling and winter feeding tasks on livestock farms across southern Alberta. It is designed for repeated lifting cycles and can handle large square bales, silage, and frozen materials when properly equipped. Using the right attachments, such as bale spears or grapples, improves both efficiency and safety. Its stable design helps maintain control in uneven yard conditions, making it a reliable choice for demanding winter feeding operations.
