Handle Heavy Loads
May 15, 2009 
View photos and product descriptions of several front-end loaders, from manufacturers such as Kubota Tractor, Willmar/AGCO, and New Holland.
John Deere | K-Series
The new John Deere K-Series loaders feature a smooth-shifting transmission and effortless joystick controls. A lock-up torque converter ensures productive ramp climbing and load-and-carry operations, while the automatic differential lock detects uneven wheel speeds and locks in to provide 100% tractive effort to both wheels.
Kubota Tractor Corp. | L45
Kubota introduces the L45 tractor-loader-backhoe (TLB). It’s powered by a 45-horsepower Kubota diesel engine and new smooth-riding HST Plus Transmission. It features a slanted boom and braceless frame and has a lifting capacity of 2,200 pounds with a nine-foot, six-inch lifting height.
Case Construction Equipment | 521E
The 521E model wheel loader features an electronically-controlled engine that provides increased horsepower to move more material per hour. The Tier III-certified engine incorporates a common-rail fuel-injection system.
Willmar/Agco | Willmar Wrangler 4550
The Willmar Wrangler 4550 Loader features four bucket capacities from 20 to 45 cubic feet, which move up to 2,450 pounds. The articulating loader features an 83 horsepower 178 cubic inch, Deutz diesel engine; single-speed, hydrostatic 4-wheel drive; and joystick control for easy lift and tilt operation.
Gehl Co. | CT7-23
The CT7-23 Telescopic Loader from Gehl is designed to dig, lift, and load at full reach. It performs in confined spaces, thanks to a tight turning radius enhanced by 4-wheel steering and three steering modes. With its ability to multitask — coupled with the new, highly advanced loader-style joystick control and evolution cab — the CT7-23 will quickly become the right-hand machine.
Thomas Equipment | 185
The new Thomas 185 Skid Steer Loader upgrades and replaces the popular Thomas 175. It offers a high-lift bucket height over 11 feet, an operating weight of 7,200 pounds, lift capacity of 1,850 pounds, and over two tons of breakout force. It runs on a 4-cylinder, 59 horsepower Tier-III engine and has two in-line hydrostatic pumps to lift, pull, and hoist.
New Holland | L185
The vertical-lift Super Boom skid steer loaders provide high lift capacities, long forward dump reach, and fast cycle times. The Tier II engine in the L185 (pictured) uses direct injection. Super Boom rigs offer hydraulics and an electrical system engineered to withstand severe applications.
