1.3.2 Adjustable hydraulic tandem
NOTE:
This option is only available for the M-90 loader model.
The adjustable hydraulic tandem balances the load between the tractor (or ATV) and the tandem.
The adjustable hydraulic tandem includes a cylinder in the trailer's centre bar, which enables it to
be moved 0.51 m (20 in.) to better distribute the load. An auxiliary valve added to the hydraulic
controls operates the hydraulic adjustable tandem (see "Controls" on page 43).
1.3.3 Hydraulic winch
The hydraulic winch can tow loads at greater distances than the grapple. The 400 hydraulic winch
includes a 25.91 m (85 ft.) hydraulic cable and is installed on the M-90 and M-15 models. The 750
hydraulic winch includes a 42.72 m (150 ft.) steel cable and is installed on the M-140 and M-160
models. An auxiliary valve added to the hydraulic controls operates the hydraulic winch (see
"Controls" on page 43). To learn how to install the hydraulic winch, see "Installing the 400 hydraulic
winch (available for the M-90 and M-115 models)" on page 36.
1.3.4 Loader bucket
The loader bucket makes it possible to dig, load and transport materials such as soil and gravel.
Buckets are available in 30.48 cm (12 in.) and 50.8 cm (20 in.) models. The 12-inch bucket has
teeth and is designed for digging, while the 20- inch bucket has no teeth and is designed for
levelling surfaces. The loader bucket replaces the grapple on the log loader and is operated by the
grapple controls (see "Controls" on page 43 ). To learn how to install the loader bucket, see
"Installing the loader bucket (available for the M-90 and M-115 models)" on page 38.
1.3.5 Dump box
The dump box transports and unloads materials such as soil and gravel. The dump box is installed
directly in the trailer and is operated using auxiliary valves (see "Controls" on page 43). To learn
how to install the dump box, see "Installing the dump box (available for the M-90 and M-115
models)" on page 40.
1.3.6 Auger
The auger drills holes in the ground. Augers are available in 15.25 cm (6 in.) and 22.86 cm (9 in.)
diameter models. The auger replaces the grapple on the log loader and is operated by the grapple
controls (see "Controls" on page 43). To learn how to install the auger, see "Installing the auger
(available for the M-90 and M-115 models)" on page 39.
1.3.7 Telescopic stabilizer
The telescopic stabilizer replaces the stabilizers on the log loader. It is sturdier and makes the
machine more stable.
