The 2 best solutions for tractors WITHOUT a front end loader
Whether you are trying to haul firewood by trailer, shift hay bales, processing grass to make hay, o bring the bales to feed the cattle, having a tractor completes these tasks faster.
Farmers and ranchers often choose to purchase a much more expensive tractor with a front end loader.
But what if you already have a compact tractor without a front end loader?
Should you go back out into the marketplace and buy another one?
Would a rear attachment be the best option in this case?
If so, what is the best attachment to complete the same tasks a front end loader tractor can complete?
Well, we have the answer to all of these questions.
Tractor with no front end loader? — No Problem
Even though your tractor didn’t come with or doesn’t have a Front End Loader, we have the solution!
There are two solutions for those in your situation:
Save the extra time and money trying to find another tractor with a front end loader.
Instead make the most use of the compact tractor you already own by adding a simpler and much cheaper attachment.
One solution to your tractor without a front end loader is the scissor high lift and the other is the three point Universal Skid Steer Mount Adapter.
The best part of these two rear attachments:
They can be used in conjunction with each other. Actually we advise it because you get the best of both worlds.
1.) Scissor High Lift/Jack
With a Scissor Lift, you can extend the upward lift of a tractors regular 3 point lift from about 12” to over 5 FEET.
It simply attaches to your tractors 3 point lift and then you attach your implement onto that.
With the Scissor Lift, you can now load/unload round bales from a trailer or pickup and even double stack them because it lifts to over 5 FEET.
2.) 3 point to Universal Skid Steer Mount Adapter
This is an adapter you attach to your tractor’s 3 point system or onto the Scissor Lift.
On the other side of the adapter is a Universal Skid Steer Mount (in recent years most tractors come with the mount included), which you can now attach to front end loader attachments and implements and use them as usual.
This is a very inexpensive way to get the most out of your tractor. Front end loaders cost about $7,000.00.
You can buy the Scissor Lift/Jack for $420.00 and the adapters for only $599.00. Front end loaders can cost you nearly ELEVEN times more than any of these two attachments would.
And even if you buy them both you are still saving more than $5,000 compared to the purchase of a front end loader.
Don’t let the fact that you do not possess a front end loader keep you from doing the same tasks with your compact tractor.
