Operation
Pre-Operation
The following pictorials indicate important precautions to be used during the operation of the
loader.
WARNING
The tractor must be equipped with an approved Roll
over Protection Structure (ROPS) and safety belts to help prevent
personal injury or death caused by tractor roll over.
CAUTION
Maximum rated loader capacity may exceed tractor
rating. Load restrictions or reduction in hydraulic operating
pressure may be required for safe operation.Torque all fittings
and hoses prior to operating loader. Ensure hoses do not rub or
pinch during loader operation.Ty-rap as required.
WARNING Add rear ballast to help prevent personal injury or death
caused by tractor roll over.
Rops: Do not exceed the manufacturer’s rating for maximum gross vehicle weight. Refer to the
Tractor Manual or the ROPS Serial Decal for rating. Do not alter or modify the ROPS structure.
Tractor Tires: Space rear tires as recommended by the tractor manufacturer.Tire inflation and
capacity must meet or exceed additional weight of loader, attachment and payload. Maximize
width for high lift applications.Tread width must not exceed maximum width as recommended in
the Mounting Kit Listing.
Rear Ballast: Rear ballast is required to ensure 25% of gross vehicle weight is transferred to the
rear axle. Attachment and load must be included as weight. Adequate rear weights are required
to counterbalance maximum loader capacity and safe loader operation. Weight can be added as
rear tire liquid (calcium solution), rear wheel weights, rear axle weights and/or three point hitch
mounted ballast or implement. Ballasting will vary with tractor and loader attachment. Refer to
theTractor Manual for recommended ballasting.

Operation
General Operating Notes:The following section provides general information that can be applied
towards your specific application. Ensure that you’ve read and understood this manual and your
Tractor Manual. Observe all safety precautions and follow local laws pertaining to the use of your
loader and tractor.
Hydraulics: Under normal conditions, operate the
tractor’s engine at 1/2 throttle.
Note: In cold weather, tractors with load sense hydraulic
systems require longer warm-up periods for the loader
to respond when valve is operated.
In cold weather, operate the tractor’s engine at idle
speed until the hydraulic fluid is warmed up. Slowly
cycle the loader and attachment several times to further
warm the hydraulic fluid. High engine speed when
the hydraulic fluid is cold will cause the pump to wear
prematurely and may cause the loader to operate
erratically.
The hydraulic hoses should be connected to the loader
valve such that when joystick is pulled back the loader
rise and when pushing forward on joystick lowers the
loader. (If joystick is pushed past the detent, the loader
will go in to the float mode.) Move joystick to left to roll
back the bucket an move to the right to dump.
The Allied Remote Hydraulic Control is equipped with
a momentary push button switch and a lock.The push
button is for operating a third function when an electric
diverter is installed.The third function is normally for
operating a grapple. When the button is depressed the
valve ports are open to the grapple cylinders. Shifting
the joystick to the left while button is depressed will
close the grapple and shifting to the right will open.
Important: Always feather the grapple when closing or
opening to avoid unnecessary shock loads on grapple
components.
WARNING Keep grapple closed at all times when bucket is empty and carry
bucket low to the ground. Avoid operating near power wires.

15
All Allied by Farm King hydraulic valves are self-centering and return to neutral from all positions
except float.The float or detent spool is only to be used on the boom circuit.This position allows
the oil to freely flow through the valve so the lift cylinders can extend or retract. It can be engaged
by slightly pushing control beyond full lower. Float will allow for the loader to lower and rise as
the attachment follows the ground contours.To disengage float, slightly pull control back towards
the neutral position.The Allied by Farm King Remote Hydraulic Control can be locked in the neutral
position to minimize unintentional movement.
CAUTION
Lower and dump heavy loads slowly by feathering. Stop tractor
movement gradually. Never drop a loaded attachment and
“catch” hydraulically. Stopping with such downward momentum
may cause damage to the loader or tractor.
When handling heavy loads be sure to raise and lower the loader slowly while leveling the
attachment as required. Feathering can assist in accurately controlling operations by regulating oil
flow through cylinders.
A third function hydraulic control is available for grapple or other hydraulic applications. An
optional divertor valve is connected to the loader attachment spool and is operated via the Allied
by Farm King Remote Hydraulic Control momentary switch and simultaneously engaging the
bucket spool through dump or rollback.
Bucket
When loading a bucket, approach straight and
enter the pile with a level bucket parallel to the line
of motion.
Important: Attempting to turn while loading may
cause damage to the loader or tractor.
Work the controls to raise and rollback the bucket
simultaneously. The combined actions of lift and
bucket cylinders increases loading efficiency and
minimizes resistance to lift.
Note: On tractors with low hydraulic oil flows, both
functions may not be possible
Operation - 2895 Loader

16
Minimize turning angle and length of run between
pile and trailer to increase loading efficiency. Also,
place load evenly or centered in the attachment.
WARNING
Carry the load no higher than necessary to clear the terrain.Turn
and brake slowly. Always be sure that loading area is level and
on solid ground. Do not raise loader higher then required while
dumping. Immediately lower the loader to ground if the tractor
becomes unstable.
Operation - 2895 Loader
Leave material, which drifts over the bucket sides
for final cleanup.
Backfilling or Scraping
For forward back filling, approach pile with a level
bucket. Utilize the float position to minimize bucket
cutting edge wear. Leave dirt in bucket. Dumping
on each pass reduces efficiency.
Note: Use leveling rod for a guide to ensure bucket
is level.
Do not use bucket in dumped position for forward
grading.This will only impose severe shock loading
on the bucket cylinders and it is difficult to maintain
a level grade.

17
Operation - 2895 Loader
For back grading, either load the bucket and
position the heel on the ground or position the
bucket at 40° or less below level as shown. Place
the valve in the float position and back up slowly.
Important: Float position must be used to reduce
down pressure, otherwise cylinder rod(s) and/or
bucket damage could occur.
A Frame:
Regular Duty / Heavy Duty 60"
Both A-frames are for handling medium to
large sized round bales (up to 2000 lbs) when
fitted with two bottom 1240mm long heat treated
spears and two short stabilizers. For pallet
applications with a maximum payload of 4400 lbs
when fitted with the 48.0” pallet fork kit.
Note:The heavy duty frame can also be fitted using
only the one center spear.

18
Operation - 2895 Loader
WARNING Do not operate A Frame for bales without stabilizers.
Handling bales and pallets:
For safe handling of bales and pallets please follow
procedures below:
With a single spear, enter one of the ends of the
bale and drive the spear horizontally into the
center or slightly above center of the bale and
fully penetrate the bale.Then rollback the bucket
cylinders approximately three quarters of the
cylinder stroke and lift bale approximately a foot
off the ground.
With the double or four spears enter the bale
from one of the ends and drive the spear one
third to one half the way up, from the bottom and
fully penetrate the bale.Then rollback the bucket
cylinders approximately three quarters of the
cylinder’s stroke and lift bale approximately
12.0" off the ground.
CAUTION
Never attempt to use the spears as forks, as the spears can easily
penetrate theground causing a spear to bend or break as well
as making the bale unstable to carry. Never attempt to handle
a bale with only part of the spear(s) penetrated.The nut on the
bale spear must be torqued to 500 ft.-lbs. Check the torque
periodically. A loose spear will damage the spear holder.

19
Operation - 2895 Loader
When loading bales onto a trailer, park trailer in
close proximity to minimize turning angle and
length of travel to increase loading efficiency.
As you lift the bale using the regular loader, it is
recommended to feather the valve to allow bucket
cylinders to extend to keep bale at about a 20°
angle. (OnTSL loaders this is not necessary) Lift
the bale only enough to clear the area that the
bale will be placed on. Always approach the trailer
square to the tractor as shown.
CAUTION Avoid sudden stops and sharp turns. Avoid uneven terrain areas
for loading and unloading.
After setting the bale down position the A Frame
with spear(s) horizontal to the ground and slowly
back the tractor straight out.
With pallet forks level and just above the ground,
drive the forks into the pallet completely. Raise
loader to lift pallet and carry level 6 to 12 inches
off the ground. Note:TheTSL loader is highly
recommended when operating with pallet forks
for maintaining a constant level load. Use the level
indicator as a guide to ensure forks are level at
ground.
CAUTION
Avoid sudden stops and sharp turns. Operate at low ground
speeds. Never attempt to lift loads heavier than the rated fork
specs (42" - 2200 lbs) (48" - 4400 lbs). Always lift or carry pallets
using both forks and utilizing the full length of the forks.
WARNING
When driving amongst livestock keep bucket cylinders retracted,
and loader boom at least 6 to 7' off the ground. Store A Frame
away from both play and heavy traffic areas.

20
Operation - 2895 Loader
Grapple:
The grapple is designed to safely prevent loads (bales, silage) from falling out of the bucket. (Refer
to pictorial below for options listed)
WARNING Travel at low speeds. Carry loads as low as possible. Avoid sharp
turns and uneven terrain.
