  • Patent number: 9506217
    Abstract: A loader toolbar that can be attached to loaders, skid steer or tractor front end loaders that are compliant with the standard industry interface. The loader toolbar is designed to be a platform from which an array of agriculture and construction tools can easily and quickly be attached. The tools are pinned to the tool bar and can be installed or removed in minutes. The tool bar is designed to take advantage of the mechanical leverage of a fulcrum or pivot point for those tools such a tree extractor when prying or pulling tree by its roots. The loaded toolbar does not rely entirely on the hydraulics of the skid steer. The non-reliance on hydraulics, combined with the inherent maneuverability of a skid steer, allows operator to position tools to accomplish task safely and efficiently.
