It comes equipped with parking stands to support loader so tractor can be “driven in” for quick attach- ment, optional hydraulic self leveling for maintaining the load in position during the raising and lowering cycle and a bucket level indicator that allows opera- tor to gauge bucket position when bucket cannot be seen. Available attachments include buckets for lift- ing loose materials; a bale spear for lifting round hay bales; a grapple attachment for handling bulky mate- rials; a dozer for pushing; and a fork lift for palletized material. All operations should be conducted within the loader limits specified in Technical Specifications.
