Single-point hydraulic connection saves time

A single-point hydraulic connection saves operators time when attaching or detaching the loader. This system also includes connections for electrical needs and a hydraulic lockout valve, allowing for fast installation via a simple handle pull.

Boom lockout for easy service

A hydraulic shut-off valve prevents the loader from lowering unexpectedly, enabling safe maintenance under the boom.

Concealed Oil Lines for Protection

Wider tractor hoods have reduced space for traditional oil line routing along the boom, increasing the risk of damage. To address this, the oil lines are now routed through the boom arm and torque tube, enhancing protection and improving the loader’s appearance.
