摘要:
The front end loader and method of the present invention provides front end loader lift arms that may be removed from an implement, such as a bucket, and secured to the bucket in a cantilevered position for storage of the lift arms. Connections on the implement and lift arms allow the lift arms to be securely interconnected with connections on the bucket without the use of tools or pins so that the center of gravity of the lift arms is above the bucket. The lift arms may then be removed from a utility vehicle. In this storage position, the lift arms are stored and maintained in a secure position so that they may later be easily and quickly reattached to the utility vehicle.

A front end loader is provided according to the invention. The front end loader includes a forward bracket assembly and a rear bracket assembly, a tower that attaches to the rear bracket assembly, and a tower subframe that attaches to the forward bracket assembly. The tower has a first tower end and a second tower end. The second tower end includes a shoe area for attaching to a shoe-receiving region provided on the first bracket assembly. The tower subframe has a first tower subframe end and a second tower subframe end. The first tower subframe end is attached to the tower, and the second tower subframe end is constructed for attachment to the second bracket assembly. A spring can be provided as part of the rear bracket assembly to reduce rattling between the tower and the rear bracket assembly. The rear bracket assembly can be referred to as the first bracket assembly, and the forward bracket assembly can be referred to as the second bracket assembly. A tractor and a method for attaching a front end load to a tractor are provided.

A bale lift device is provided by the invention. The bale lift device includes a back frame, a spear member, and rotation axis. The back frame includes a first end, a second end, and at least one extension separating the first end from the second end. The back frame includes a first area for attaching to the loader hydraulic cylinder of a front end loader. The back frame includes a second area for attaching to the loader arm of a front end loader. The spear member includes at least one spear having a first end for penetrating a bale and a second end attached to the back frame. The rotation axis allows the spear member to rotate relative to the back frame. A front end loader having a bale lift device and a method for transporting a bale are provided. A method of assisting the removal of a bale lifting device from a bale without additional levers or hydraulic controls or hydraulic cylinders is provided. The method can utilize the controls already existing in the operational functions of the loader.
摘要:
A bucket for a front end loader. The bucket includes a floor, a back wall, a left sidewall, and a right sidewall. The floor includes a floor leading edge, a floor trailing edge, a floor left edge, and a floor right edge. The back wall includes a back wall leading edge, a back wall trailing edge, a back wall left edge and a back wall right edge. The left sidewall extends along the left edges of the floor and the back wall, and the right sidewall extends along the right edges of the floor and the back wall. The bucket can be characterized as having a tapered construction. This means that the length of the floor leading edge and the length of the back wall leading edge are greater than the length of the floor trailing edge and the length of the back wall trailing edge, respectively. The difference in lengths provides buckets that can be stacked for transportation. A method for transporting a plurality of buckets is provided.

A tractor loader is described which has multi-adjustment mounting features provided thereon to enable the loader to be mounted on a wide variety of tractor makes and models. First and second mounting brackets are adjustably mounted at opposite sides of the tractor and are adapted to have the tower assembly of the loader selectively mounted thereon. The tower assembly includes a pair of towers having side frame members extending forwardly therefrom. The lower ends of the towers have a shoe adjustably secured thereto which is secured to the first and second mounting brackets. A slide block is selectively longitudinally mounted on each of the side frames of the tower assembly which is also adjustably secured to the first and second mounting brackets.
摘要:
A materials handling apparatus for a tractor comprising a U-shaped frame which is quickly mounted and dismounted. The frame comprises a front frame portion having a pair of side frame portions extending upwardly and rearwardly from the lower opposite sides thereof. Boom arms are pivotally secured to the upper rearward ends of the side frame portions and are raised and lowered relative thereto by hydraulic cylinders which are positioned forwardly of the front wheels of the tractor. Releasable connectors are provided between the U-shaped frame and the tractor to enable the apparatus to be quickly and easily mounted and dismounted.

An apparatus for hydraulic self-leveling of a loader bucket or the like is described wherein the loader upon which the bucket is mounted comprises a pair of spaced-apart boom arms pivotally mounted on a sub-frame attached to the tractor. The loader bucket is pivotally connected to the forward ends of the boom arms and may be pivotally moved from a level position to an extreme dump position or an extreme roll-back position by means of hydraulic cylinders extending between the loader bucket and the boom arms. A first leveling cylinder is connected to one of the boom arms and one of the sub-frame towers so that upward movement of the boom arms causes the cylinder rod of the actuator cylinder to be extended therefrom and so that downward movement of the boom arms causes the cylinder rod of the actuator cylinder to be moved inwardly into the cylinder. Extension of the cylinder rod from the actuator cylinder forces fluid from the actuator cylinder to be supplied to the extension side of the bucket cylinders so that the bucket is maintained in a level position as the boom arms are being raised. Conversely, retraction of the cylinder rod into the actuator cylinder as the boom arms are being pivotally moved downwardly causes hydraulic fluid from the actuator cylinder to be supplied to the retraction side of the bucket cylinders to maintain the bucket in a level position as the boom arms are being lowered.
