Rear Loader is a loader that is designed for the rear of your tractor. Install or remove Rear Loader with the ease of any other 3-point hitch attachment. Rear Loader will dig like a front-end loader and can raise the load to a height of 60 inches for easy loading.Rear Loader will perform the same tasks that a front-end loader is capable of. The beauty of the rear loader design is that the added weight of the loader will increase stability through better weight distribution and provide greater traction at the rear wheels. This greater rear weight distribution pushes down on the drive wheels where a front end loader will instead load the front wheels and cause a tendency for the tractor to tip forward. The rear end loader design eliminates the need for adding weights to the rear wheels.

The boom's maximum and minimum height is adjustable by the varying length of the top link.

OPTIONS

The Rear Loader can be built in two bucket dumping configurations. The most economical is the trip mechanism option, where the bucket is gravity dumped by the release of a lever, therefore only one hydraulic cylinder is needed. The second option requires the use of second hydraulic cylinder which will allow the bucket to be angled to any point throughout it's range of motion. Both these options are described in detail in the drawing package.

If your tractor does not have hydraulic remote outputs already, a 12-volt hydraulic power pack can be used to actuate the cylinder(s). Several types of 12-volt hydraulic power packs are available such as single acting, double acting and dual cylinder, each with optional remote control wiring available. If Rear Loader is operated behind a tractor that is equipped with hydraulic remote outlets, this power source can be utilized to operate the boom and bucket.

The single acting 12-volt hydraulic power pack offers power up, gravity down and requires only one hose. Install a filtered breather in the unused port of the cylinder to keep dirt out during gravity down operation. The double acting 12-volt hydraulic power pack offers power up and power down.Rear Loader can be configured to give power down so the weight of Rear Loader can be placed on the bucket. This system requires two hoses connecting the power pack or tractor to the cylinder
