Multi-Tool For Skid Steer Loaders

Multi-Tool For Skid Steer Loaders TRACTORS Loaders 23-3-13 "It's unbelievable how much I can do with it," says Tim Louwagie, about his "multi-tool" for skid steer loaders that lets him use the skid steer for hundreds of jobs around the farm. It consists of a quick-tach frame that can be fitted with several accessories, including: • Bale spear for handling round bales. Consists of one large spear and two smaller stabilizer spears. • Pallet forks rated at 15,000 lbs. • A 5-ft. boom extendable to 9 ft. with three chain hooks. Can be used for a wide variety of lifting jobs. • Drawbar used to back wagons and other equipment into machine sheds or other tight spots. "We used the lift boom to dismantle and reassemble a used bunker silo. It gave us the reach needed to load and unload the bunker parts from a semi-trailer. It's constructed from a piece of heavy-wall drill stem pipe that's braced by two heavy pieces of angle iron that pin to the top of the quick-tach frame," says Louwagie. "The pallet forks are handy to move seed pallets and other materials, as well as logs. And the bale spear makes handling round bales a breeze."
