Hello all.
Me and dad talking on the yard while removing a tanco loader off a case 895. Got him to talking about how he remembers a lot of farms not having loaders etc. The history of most implements seems fairly well known, but got me to wondering when/what the first front end loader as we know it today was attached to the front of a tractor? He’s thinking late 40’s early fifties, firms like JCB or MIL or horndraulic. Was just wondering if anyone knew. He reckons the Ferguson “banana loader” was the first loader you saw in any great numbers. Thank you for reading my boring and irrelevant post!
