Awesome videos - you helped me become a MF customer - awaiting delivery on my 1840M Cab model. I spoke with your dad and asked him "What is the part#/name of the 'Recoil Buffer' for the frontend loader for the hydraulic system?" He WAS NOT amused! When he told me "ACP0426720 Softdrive" I said "ACP - Automatic Colt Pistol" he was even less amused! Thank you for the good videos. Peace Mate - Riley from Ohio.
Glad we could assist. I so fortunate to get to work with him everyday and for a man that has lived 80+ years and still comes to work every day, I'm truly blessed with is his service knowledge. He has different personality than I but he works to help keep our service department running smooth. Sorry I was busy with our customers to answer your questions but things are hopping at Vahrenberg Implement.
Hey there, Doug. I have a MF 1760M and it has a FL 2814 loader. Does the Soft Drive Loader Suspension you demonstrated fit my FEL or is there a different soft drive Loader for my particular tractor? I am soon going to purchase a Lane Shark brush cutter that mounts to my tractor's SSQA. I'm thinking the soft drive loader will reduce stress from the weight of the Lae Shark. Maybe I'm wrong; not sure. Thanks for the demonstration and have a fine week. Don 👍🏽🤠 4/3/23
It's not the exact same part number but works the same. for the FL.2814 Loader you need to order ACP0426720. We have them in stock if you can't find one locally.
@@VahrenbergImplement Thanks Doug. I'll check to see if the dealer has one in stock, if not, I 'll head your way. Appreciate all your informative videos.
Just to answer everybody's question, that unit is a hydraulic buffer and should work with any make or model tractor. It's only limitation would be that larger tractors may overwhelm it, but any tractor that size or smaller should work. Its basically a piece of pluming all you need to do is make it fit.
Accumulators increase in size or number of accumulators are matched based on Loader Size, Capacity and Cylinder size, etc. You could use on other machines. But I would check the warranty policies as non-approved accessories of modifications can effect Warranty Terms if needed. Why we sell Genuine AGCO Service Approved Accessories for Massey Ferguson Tractors. When you do that I know our customers are protected and no questions asked they protected and guaranteed it works correctly.
@@VahrenbergImplement Thank You for your reply,that is a neat option,but I think I'll stick with the ( KISS ) method,your videos are very informative thanks again.
Not sure the Accumulators are engineered to work with the hydraulic cylinders on the DL95. I know they are going to offer SoftDrive for the New FL.1805 Loader it might be better to customize to fit. It has to be engineered to work with loader and cylinders.
Yes, I have installed one on my 2016 GC1720. It required replacing the hose that comes from the right side with a straight end instead of a 90 degree. I had to drill a new hole to mount it as the existing one is too far back and finally I had to bend the bracket so the unit points at the fitting on the ram. It works great! Read up on how to properly tighten these connectors.
That is good to know. You should make a video showing what you did and how you did it so others can learn. This would help previous owners upgrade their loaders with this awesome feature. Share the Video Link to so others can learn.
@@VahrenbergImplement I found that part number last night on the internet. Thanks for the info. I called and got a price from my dealer too bad we didn't get it installed when buying the tractor.
There are times that you may not want it turned on like precision lifting or loading that you don't want the loader to absorb the shock load. Many never turn off but it provides you the choice to do so.
FL series loaders are coming for 1700M series and I hear they should be shipping soon. Expected release in 4th Quarter of 2019. We have not received yet but they are transitioning as the DL Series Inventory is diminished.
The SoftDrive on the 4700 Series is Electric Controlled by a switch on the loader joystick which is built in as standard equipment on the tractor. The 931X Loader requires the additional installaion of SoftDrive or the FL.3615 Loader comes standard with SoftDrive from the Factory so it's ready to go. Flip switch to turn on/ flip switch to turn off.

WOW! That is really nice. Thank you again for another great video!
It really changes how a loader operates and amazing the difference in the tractor ride

Can you do a video on how to clean hydraulic separator screen filter on 1734e
IF we get one in for maintenance I will add that topic to the list of videos. Thanks for watching

Is this available for a L100E M-F 1526 also what is the price? Thank you for a great demo. very well done & informative
SoftDrive is not available as Factory Option on that loader. You would have to do a custom install.
@@VahrenbergImplement Thank You for your reply,that is a neat option,but I think I'll stick with the ( KISS ) method,your videos are very informative thanks again.
Is the soft drive available for the 2607h, 911x loader
Yes SoftDrive can be added to the 900X Series Loaders
Would this work with a DL95 if you figured out a way to mount it?

Can this be added on any MF. I have a 4708 with a 931x loader. Would it possibly be the same part number?
SoftDrive is available for the 931X. AGCO Parts Kit Number for the 900X Loaders: AL5034241
@@VahrenbergImplement I found that part number last night on the internet. Thanks for the info. I called and got a price from my dealer too bad we didn't get it installed when buying the tractor.
It's not hard to install. Just relieve hydraulic pressure on the loader before installation is best tip we can give
Why is there an on/off switch? When would it be better to turn off the accumulator function?
There are times that you may not want it turned on like precision lifting or loading that you don't want the loader to absorb the shock load. Many never turn off but it provides you the choice to do so.
Any idea why the 1700m series are now shipping with new model loaders?
FL series loaders are coming for 1700M series and I hear they should be shipping soon. Expected release in 4th Quarter of 2019. We have not received yet but they are transitioning as the DL Series Inventory is diminished.
Is there one available for the L105E loader?
There is not a Factory Kit but I have heard some talking about using this kit to customize to fit other models of loaders.
How would I be able to use the switch in the cab of a 4707 cab with the soft drive?
The SoftDrive on the 4700 Series is Electric Controlled by a switch on the loader joystick which is built in as standard equipment on the tractor. The 931X Loader requires the additional installaion of SoftDrive or the FL.3615 Loader comes standard with SoftDrive from the Factory so it's ready to go. Flip switch to turn on/ flip switch to turn off.
@@VahrenbergImplement I have the 931x. So the switch won't work with it? Just comes with the manual lever for this loader?
Correct. The X Series loaders are Manual Accumulator versus the FL Series are Electronic Controlled.
C'est quoi le nom de là pièces je vais m'en acheter un chez mon concessionnaire Saguenay merci
[Translate: What is the name of the parts I will buy one from my Saguenay dealer thank you]
SoftDrive Loader Suspension is the Name of the Parts.
Is there a version of "soft drive" that would work on the DL 95? I know there isn't one listed by AGCO...
Not sure the Accumulators are engineered to work with the hydraulic cylinders on the DL95. I know they are going to offer SoftDrive for the New FL.1805 Loader it might be better to customize to fit. It has to be engineered to work with loader and cylinders.
What's the price for one to fit the DL125?
$532.27usd is the current price (10/30/19) for the SoftRide Kit for DL125 or DL135 Loader from AGCO Parts
@@VahrenbergImplement thank you.
Vahrenberg Implement do they make it for a 931 loader?
They offer SoftDrive on larger loaders like the 900, 900X and FL Series Loaders.
