LANCASTER A new senes of loaders with some first-time-ever features has been introduced to the farm market by John Deere. The first of these new 200 Senes Loaders, numbered the 250, is arriving on dealers’ lots this month. The 260 is a high-profile loader that makes it compatible with Deere front wheel-dnve tractors, from 80 to 130 hp. There is-plenty of front-axle clearance so farmers can take full ad vantage of front-wheel-dnve traction in muddy feedlots and elsewhere.

Self-leveling will help reduce spills, especially when working with sloppy manure or loose materials And it’s quite useful for handling pallets. The new loader design has made mountmg/demountmg a “no tools needed” operation that takes just a few minutes. Once parking stands are down, two puis are pulled to disconnect the loader arms from the mounting frame. Then hydraulics are unhooked, and the tractor is free
