INTRODUCTION AND DESCRIPTION

1-1 INTRODUCTION

We  are  pleased  to  have  you  as  a  Bush  Hog  cus-
tomer.  Your  Front  End  Loader  has  been  carefully
designed  to  give  maximum  service  with  minimum
down  time.  This  manual  is  provided  to  give  you  the
necessary  operating  and  maintenance  instructions
for  keeping  your  front  end  loader  in  top  operating
condition.  Please  read  this  manual  thoroughly.
Understand what each control is for and how to use
it.  Observe  all  safety  precautions  decaled  on  the
machine  and  noted  throughout  the  manual  for  safe
operation  of  implement.  If  any  assistance  or  addi-
tional information is needed, contact your authorized
Bush Hog dealer.

1-2 DESCRIPTION

The  Models  2427  and  3227  Front  End  Loaders  are
designed  for  two  wheel  drive  tractors.  The  Models
2447 and 2847 Front End Loaders are designed for
two wheel and four wheel drive tractors. They come
equipped  with  parking  stands  to  support  the  loader
so the tractor can be “driven in” for quick attachment
and  a  bucket  level  indicator  that  allows  operator  to
gauge  bucket  position  when  the  bucket  cannot  be
seen.  Available  attachments  include  buckets  for  lift-
ing loose materials; a bale spear for lifting round hay
bales; and a fork lift for palletized material. All opera-
tions  should  be  conducted  within  the  loader  limits
specified in Table 1-1.

the different models will be the same. All references made to right, left, front, rear, top or bottom is as
viewed facing the direction of travel with implement properly attached to tractor.
