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 |
