"High Reach" Loader Works Like A Telehandler
Our new high reach front-end loader reaches higher and straighter than any other loader on the market. It gives you the versatility and dependability of a conventional front-end loader with the height of a compact telehandler," says Oscar Frey, HLA Loader Attachments, Listowel, Ontario.
  A parallel linkage provides up to 15 ft. of stacking and dumping height, which the company says is equivalent to most compact telescoping loaders. Key to the design is a close-coupled hinge on front, which provides 1 1/2 ft. of extra lifting height compared to other loader brands. The hinge serves as a pivot, so that as the loader goes up the arms straighten out. On the way down, the arms bend to go down over the tractor's front wheels.
  Lift capacity at full height is 3,800 lbs.
  "It works great for stacking bales in sheds. You can often stack another row of bales higher. A steel guard on top of the loader allows you to lift two bales at a time, one on top of the other. The extra reach also works great for loading trucks, because you can reach all the way across to the other side of the truck.
  "Last fall at Canada's Outdoor Farm Show near Woodstock, Ontario, we demonstrated the loader by using it to stack a row of big square bales. People were impressed that we were able to pile an extra bale on top of the row, compared to what conventional loaders can do."
  The loader has a quick tach arrangement that makes it easy to switch back and forth between pallet forks or a bucket. An optional soft ride attachment for the loader is available. It uses accumulator springs with the tractor's hydraulic system to reduce loader bounce.
  Three loader models are available depending on tractor horsepower. One model is for tractors with 50 to 80 hp; one for 80 to 120 hp; and one for 120 hp and up. The loader for tractors with 80 to 120 hp sells for about $10,000 without any options.
