Self-Powered Loaders For Garden Tractors, Riding Mowers

Self-Powered Loaders For Garden Tractors Riding Mowers MOWERS Mowers 31H Our redesigned front-end loader for garden tractors and riding mowers comes with a self-contained lifting system It s especially useful for the owners of smaller riding mowers and garden tractors that don t have lift systems says John Scheele New Berlin Wis
    The Johnny Bucket Jr first featured in Vol 25 No 4 now has a power dump option that uses electric lead screw linear actuators that hook up directly to the tractor s standard battery The actuators are used to do both the lifting and the dumping and have a lift capacity of up to 250 lbs
    A pair of switches or a multi-axis joystick can be used to operate the lift and the power dump simultaneously
    In the past the Johnny Bucket Jr only fit garden tractors with factory-capable lift systems and was manually dumped by pulling a trip rope To reset the bucket a second rope was pulled back We still offer the manual dump option but since we came out with the power dump option everyone wants to be like the big boys and go for the power dump says Scheele     
    The Johnny Bucket also comes in a second larger Senior version that s designed for larger garden tractors The Senior model is hydraulically operated and requires the tractor to have onboard auxiliary hydraulic ports to control the lifting and dumping With the hydraulics it has a lift capacity of up to 500 lbs says Scheele
    Both models are designed so the mower deck can remain in place while using the Johnny Bucket Our custom adaptor brackets are available for virtually every riding mower or garden tractor model made from 1959 to the present Once the adaptor brackets are permanently installed on the machine the bucket can be attached or detached in a matter of 30 seconds using our unique æquick hitch interface and watertight electrical quick connectors says Scheele
    A wide variety of accessories are available including tooth bars for digging; a bolt-on bucket doubler that raises the sides and back of the bucket; a snowshoe to protect the cutting edge when used to move snow; and caddy arms for carrying long boards logs or for holding brush like a hay fork
    The Jr Bucket with electric lift and dump sells for $1 063 95 The Sr Bucket sells for $1 379 95 and comes with a one-year warranty A powered snowblade with electric lift and angling is also available
