More Productivity In
More Applications
Compact loaders must be productive. Great Bend Compact
Loaders are. They drive up productivity by reducing time on
the job, cutting downtime and maintenance costs. Easy
operation, intuitive controls, and elimination of the time-
consuming, fatiguing jerkiness of other loaders saves time
and makes movements more precise. Tight valve metering
delivers smooth operation. Valve feathering is easy.
Parallel valves or optional series regenerative valves mean
you can raise and dump or lower and curl without slowing
down your work. Compact controls make it easy to mount
and dismount your tractor from either side.
Compact loaders must handle many different jobs. Great
Bend Compact Loaders do. Versatility is built into Great
Bend Compact Loaders. They can be equipped with a
variety of attachments. All of them attach and detach
quickly. Great Bend Compact Loaders create a business
system for landscapers and contractors. The skid-steer
quick attach system increases productivity with super-fast
attachment changes. Just push the handles down to lock
and pull up to unlock in less than a minute. Farmers,
hobby farmers and country residents can turn their tractors
into multi-tasking machines with Great Bend attachments
and belly mower compatibility. Matching your loader and
tractor is easy. Great Bend loaders are the perfect fit for
more than 3,000 tractor/loader combinations.
Easy Operation-Even
For Novice Operators
Compact loaders must perform in the hands of different
operators and even novice operators. Great Bend Compact
Loaders do. Controls are intuitive, easy to use and easy to
reach. You don’t have to re-familiarize yourself each time
your reach for the controls. They do what you expect them
to do. Easy operation saves time, makes you more
productive and reduces operator fatigue. Novice operators
are able to do the work of experienced veterans.
Durability That Saves
Time And Money
Compact loaders must be durable. Great Bend Compact
Loaders are. For more than 30 years, the Great Bend®
name has meant durability. From the ground up, Great
Bend Compact Loaders are built for it. Booms are big and
strong with boxed steel beams composed of four load
bearing surfaces. Robotic welding in key areas –
such as the pedestal and boom – means consistent
high quality welds. Great Bend Compact Loaders
are built with many of the same rugged features
as Great Bend’s famous Ag Loaders. The same
high carbon steel. The same Great Bend
designed and manufactured buckets with
reinforcement for long life. The same computer
designing processes for mounting kits
that ensures attachment at tractor strong
points. Many Great Bend
loaders built more than
30 years ago are still
in operation today.
