A tractor loader is similar to a wheel loader in a number of ways. They both feature a loader (a scoop, bucket, or shovel extending from the front of the machine used to carry loose debris from an excavation site into a dump truck), and they both have wheels. But tractor loaders have smaller front tires and are intended more for agricultural use than construction. They are typically rear-wheel drive and feature smaller loaders with more optional attachments for agricultural needs. Possible attachments include plows, brooms, blades, forks, grapples, rakes, and more. Because tractor loading machines are more compact than other loaders, they are often less expensive and more practical for residential use. At the same time, there are also larger models intended for agricultural companies. As a result, tractor loaders can be owned by large companies or residential farmers alike. One of the most common reasons to purchase tractor loaders is to become an independent contractor and provide usage for a fee. If that is your purpose, I would advise you to look into a larger, wheel loader instead. They are more versatile and are more likely to be needed in various environments. Tractor Loaders for Rent. Though tractor loaders are relatively inexpensive, it is often more practical to rent tractor loaders than to own them. You can rent them daily, weekly, or monthly depending on your need. The longer you keep a loader, the cheaper it is per day. Depending on the model, tractor loaders rent for $200-$800/day, $900-$2500/week, and $2000-$6000/month.
