Great Bend durability pays off. It cuts downtime and maintenance costs and gives you confidence to tackle all your jobs. Booms are built of large, boxed steel beams with four load bearing surfaces for maxi­mum strength. The pedestal and boom are construct­ed with modern robotic welding that provides consis­tent, high quality welds that stand up year after year.
Side loads are a challenge for every loader. Great Bend Ag Loaders are built to handle the worst of them. Dual torque tubes on mid-mounts have the strength to deal with the twisting that occurs when one side of the bucket catches or picks up heavy material. Extra large single torque tubes provide the strength to handle side loads on Great Bend front-push models.
More Lift Height
Durability is also in the details. Great Bend mounting kits are computer designed for perfect fit. They attach to tractor strong points. All hydraulic components are high quality match in the Great Bend factory, not sourced from another manufacturer.
