Model 3545/4045/5045/6045 Front End Loaders are
designed for two wheel and four wheel drive trac-
tors. 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 lifting loose materials; a bale
spear for lifting round hay bales; and a fork lift for
palletized material. All operations should be con-
ducted within the loader limits specified in Table 1-1.
