Abstract
A loader for a work vehicle includes a loader arm, a mast section rotatably connected to the loader arm, an implement removably attached to the loader arm, a first actuator connected between the loader arm and the mast, a second actuator connected between the loader arm and the implement, and a first roller apparatus having a use position and a storage position. The first roller apparatus is positioned nearer a ground surface in the use position than in the storage position. The first roller apparatus is in contact with the ground surface in the use position and spaced apart from the ground surface in the storage position.
Claims19
A loader for a work vehicle, comprising:
- a loader arm;
- a mast rotatably connected to the loader arm;
- an implement removably attached to the loader arm;
- a first actuator connected between the loader arm and the mast;
- a second actuator connected between the loader arm and the implement;
- and
- a first roller apparatus having a use position and a storage position, the first roller apparatus removably attached to the loader at a first attachment position near the implement in the use position, the first roller being detached from the first attachment position and removably attached to the loader at a different second attachment position spaced apart from the implement in the storage position, the first attachment position located closer to the implement than the second attachment position, the first roller apparatus positioned nearer a ground surface in the use position than in the storage position, and the first roller apparatus in contact with the ground surface in the use position and spaced apart from the ground surface in the storage position when the loader is in a lowered position.
A loader for a work vehicle, comprising:
- a loader arm;
- a mast rotatably connected to the loader arm;
- an attachment bracket attached to the loader arm;
- an implement removably attached to the attachment bracket;
- a first actuator connected between the loader arm and the mast;
- a second actuator connected between the loader arm and the implement;
- a parking stand having a storage condition and a parking condition;
- a first roller apparatus having a use position and a storage position, the first roller apparatus removably attached to the loader at a first attachment position near the implement in the use position, the first roller being detached from the first attachment position and removably attached to the loader at a different second attachment position spaced apart from the implement in the storage position, the first attachment position located closer to the implement than the second attachment position, the first roller apparatus positioned near the implement in a use position, the first roller apparatus positioned nearer a ground surface in the use position than in the storage position, and the first roller apparatus in contact with the ground surface in the use position and spaced apart from the ground surface in the storage position when the loader is in a lowered position;
- and
- a second roller apparatus attached to the parking stand, the second roller in contact with the ground surface when the parking stand is in the parking condition, and the second roller spaced apart from the ground surface when the parking stand is in the storage condition.
