Multi-Tool For Skid Steer Loaders TRACTORS Loaders 23-3-13 "It's unbelievable how much I can do with it," says Tim Louwagie, about his "multi-tool" for skid steer loaders that lets him use the skid steer for hundreds of jobs around the farm.
It consists of a quick-tach frame that can be fitted with several accessories, including:
• Bale spear for handling round bales. Consists of one large spear and two smaller stabilizer spears.
• Pallet forks rated at 15,000 lbs.
• A 5-ft. boom extendable to 9 ft. with three chain hooks. Can be used for a wide variety of lifting jobs.
• Drawbar used to back wagons and other equipment into machine sheds or other tight spots.
"We used the lift boom to dismantle and reassemble a used bunker silo. It gave us the reach needed to load and unload the bunker parts from a semi-trailer. It's constructed from a piece of heavy-wall drill stem pipe that's braced by two heavy pieces of angle iron that pin to the top of the quick-tach frame," says Louwagie.
"The pallet forks are handy to move seed pallets and other materials, as well as logs. And the bale spear makes handling round bales a breeze."
