John Deere loader

Founded in 1937, John Deere has become a world leader in agricultural, construction, and forestry equipment. Though many people mistakenly think that John Deere is just an agricultural equipment manufacturer, John Deere specializes in many kinds of construction equipment as well, especially the John Deere loader. John Deere loaders are among the best in the industry. From backhoe loaders to skid-steer loaders, John Deere has the loader for you.

A loader is any kind of heavy equipment used to move debris from one place to another. The term "loader" refers specifically to the scoop, bucket, or shovel extending from the front of the machine used for loading excavated debris into a truck.

Though models vary, John Deere carries five kinds of loaders:

Backhoe loader: features a loader on one end and an excavator on the other
Wheel loader: features a large loader in the front and wheels
Crawler loader: features a large loader in the front and rubber tracks
Skid-steer loader: features a loader that is lifted on hydraulic arms (called the boom) from behind the cab, allowing the driver to lift debris well above eye level as well as wheels that can turn in opposing directions.
Landscape loader: features a smaller, tractor-like frame and a loader in the front.

Often, John Deere's loaders feature attachments which can replace the loader itself. Possible attachments include plows, brooms, blades, forks, grapples, rakes, and more.

John Deere loaders range from the compact to the largest on the market. As a result, a John Deer loader can be owned by a large construction company or residential worker alike. One common reason to consider a loader is to become an independent contractor and provide usage for a fee. These ventures can be extremely profitable offering incredible hourly rates if you find contractors that don't already own the same loader.
