WARNING
■■NEVER GO UNDERNEATH EQUIPMENT. Never
place any part of the body underneath equipment
or between moveable parts even when the
engine has been turned off. Hydraulic system
leak down, hydraulic system failures, mechanical
failures, or movement of control levers can cause
equipment to drop or rotate unexpectedly and
cause severe injury or death.
• Service work does not require going under-
neath.
• Read Manual for service instructions or have
service performed by a qualified dealer.
WARNING
The information in this section is written for opera-
tors who possess basic mechanical skills. If you need
help, your dealer has trained service technicians
available. For your protection, read and follow the
safety information in this manual.
■■Keep all persons away from operator control
area while performing adjustments, service, or
maintenance.
■■Before dismounting tractor or performing any
service or maintenance, follow these steps:
disengage power to equipment, lower all raised
components to the ground, operate valve levers
to release any hydraulic pressure, set parking
brake, stop engine, remove key, and unfasten
seat belt.
WARNING
■■Never use your hands to locate a hydraulic
leak. Use a piece of cardboard or wood. Hydraulic
fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate
skin. Openings in skin and minor cuts are sus-
ceptible to infection from hydraulic fluid. If
injured by escaping hydraulic fluid, see a doctor
at once. Gangrene and death can result. Without
immediate medical treatment, serious infection
and reactions can occur.
Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.
Do not use attachment with any damaged parts.
Replace safety decals if damaged or missing.
Periodically lubricate the lockpin guides on the skid
steer latch with a good grade of grease.
Thoroughly clean the grease zerks before servic-
ing. Dirt mixed with lubricant will rapidly wear parts
and destroy bearings. Keep it clean.
Apply a few drops of oil to the other latch pivot
points.
Storage location should be level and solid to make
attaching and detaching easy. Store in a clean, dry
location away from children and livestock.

Operation 14
WARNING
■■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 counter-
balance maximum loader capacity and safe
loader operation. Weight can be added as rear
tire liquid, 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 the Tractor manual
for recommended ballasting.
WARNING
■■Do not operate this product until you have
positive indication that this adapter and imple-
ment is securely mounted to the loader. Failure to
install lock pins could result in injury or death.
■■Operate the equipment only when properly
seated at the operator's station. Any other
method could result in serious personal injury or
death.
■■Do not exceed the recommended lifting capac-
ity of loader or the prime mover.
■■Transport the implement at a slow speed and
with the loader at the lowest transport position to
avoid tipping or upsetting, which could result in
serious injury or death.
Operation Cont’d
OPERATE LOADER SAFELY
• Be sure tractor is properly counter-balanced with
weights before attempting to lift any load.
• Start lifting slowing and smoothly. Lift speeds can
be slightly increased once the load has started
moving and appears to be stable.
• Allow for additional length of loader and attach-
ment on tractor while turning.
• Check visibility. If visibility is impaired, reduce
speed or consider other means of transport.
• Before exiting the prime mover, lower the attach-
ment to the ground, turn off the prime mover’s
engine, remove the key and apply the brakes.
DANGER
■■Beware of low electrical wires when loader is
raised. Serious injury or death can result if con-
tact is made.
Do not leave the operator’s seat if any part of
the tractor or implement contacts electric lines.
CAUTION
■■Beware of lift clearance when raising loader to
maximum height.
When stacking or loading vehicles, make sure
you are operating in an area AWAY FROM OVER-
HEAD WIRES.
■■Keep load centered on pallet fork and loader.
Unbalanced loads increase possibility of tipping
or roll-over.
■■Never stack loads on uneven ground. Loads
stacked on uneven ground can topple.

information may be general in nature, due to
unknown and varying operating conditions.
However, through experience and these instruc-
tions, you should be able to develop procedures
suitable to your particular situation.
The illustrations and data used in this manual
were current at the time of printing. However,
due to possible inline production changes,
your machine may vary slightly in detail. We
reserve the right to redesign and change the
machines as may be necessary without noti-
fication.
Throughout this manual, references are made to

SPECIFICATIONS
OPERATION
WARNING
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, judgement, and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of equipment.
It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.
■■Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
■■Keep bystanders away from equipment.
■■
Never allow riders on tractor or attachment.
■■
Always be careful when tipping a load back
when the loader is fully raised. The load could fall
back on the operator or the tractor, causing injury
or death.
■■
Do not detach loader from tractor with this
attachment installed. Equip loader with materials
bucket when detaching.
The operator is responsible for the safe operation
of this equipment. The operator must be properly
trained. Operators should be familiar with the equip-
ment, the tractor, and all safety practices before
starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety
decals on pages 3 through page 7.
The required size of the tractor and front loader will
be determined by the weight of the load to be han-
dled.
Always use a tractor and front loader large enough
to safely handle the load.
Check your tractor and front loader to make sure
they are in good working condition.
When lifting loads with a tractor front loader, it is
always best to have a heavy implement or weight box
connected to the rear 3 pt. hitch.
This adapter is designed for John Deere 100
series, 200 series, and 300E loaders. The adapter
will allow these loaders to connect to front loader
implements that have the universal skid steer type of
connection.
Never exceed the load limit of the tractor, loader,
or adapter. DO NOT use this adapter on larger
loaders and try to handle loads that are greater than
what this adapter is designed for.
Check your loader manual if there is a question.
WARNING
■■Tractor must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS
cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fas-
tened. Falling off tractor can result in death from
being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS
systems in “locked up” position at all times.

equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, judgement, and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of equipment.
It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.
TRAINING
■■Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and tractor manuals; follow all safety
rules and safety decal information. (Replacement
manuals are available from selling dealer.)
Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can
result in serious injury or death.
■■If you do not understand any part of this man-
ual and need assistance, see your dealer.
■■Operators must be instructed in and be capa-
ble of the safe operation of the equipment, its
attachments, and all controls. Do not allow any-
one to operate this equipment without proper
instructions.
■■Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
■■
Train all new personnel and review instructions
frequently with existing workers. A person who has
not read and understood all operating and safety
instructions is not qualified to operate the
machine. An untrained operator exposes himself
and bystanders to possible serious injury or death.
PREPARATION
■■Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear stur-
dy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equip-
ment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and
respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
■■Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
■■Tractor
must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS
cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fas-
tened. Falling off tractor
can result in death from
being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS
system in “locked up” position at all times.
■■A heavy load can cause instability in driving a
tractor. Make sure the rear of the tractor is
properly counter-balanced with weights. Always
drive slowly – especially around turns. An unsta-
ble tractor could steer badly and possibly tip
over, causing injury or death.
The use of the optional rear 3 pt. ballast box is
recommended. Ask your dealer.
■■Do not exceed the lift capacity of your loader
or attachment. See loader specifications.
■■Know your equipment's capabilities, dimen-
sions, and operations before operating. Visually
inspect your equipment before you start, and
never operate equipment that is not in proper
working order with all safety devices intact.
Check all hardware to ensure it is tight. Make cer-
tain that all locking pins, latches, and connection
devices are properly installed and secured.
Remove and replace any damaged, fatigued, or
excessively worn parts. Make certain all safety
decals are in place and are legible. Keep decals
clean, and replace them if they become worn or
hard to read.
■■Move wheels to the widest recommended set-
ting to increase stability.
■■Do not work under raised loaders without sup-
porting them. Do not use support material made
of concrete blocks, logs, buckets, barrels, or any
other material that could suddenly collapse or
shift positions. Make sure support material is
solid, not decayed, warped, twisted, or tapered.
Lower loaders to ground level or on blocks.
Lower loaders and attachments to the ground
before leaving the cab or operator's station.
■■Check the tractor's hydraulic system. Be sure
the hydraulic oil and filter have been serviced
according to manufacturer's recommendations.
Refer to your tractor loader operator's manual or
dealer for any adjustments necessary to put the
hydraulic system in good working order.

SAFETY RULES
ATTENTION! BECOME ALERT! YOUR SAFETY IS INVOLVED!
Safety is a primary concern in the design and
manufacture of our products. Unfortunately, our
efforts to provide safe equipment can be wiped
out by an operator’s single careless act.
In addition to the design and configuration of
equipment, hazard control and accident preven-
tion are dependent upon the awareness,
concern, judgement, and proper training of
personnel involved in the operation, transport,
maintenance and storage of equipment.
It has been said “The best safety device is an
informed, careful operator.” We ask you to be that
kind of operator.
TRAINING
■■Safety instructions are important! Read all
attachment and tractor manuals; follow all safety
rules and safety decal information. (Replacement
manuals are available from selling dealer.)
Failure to follow instructions or safety rules can
result in serious injury or death.
■■If you do not understand any part of this man-
ual and need assistance, see your dealer.
■■Operators must be instructed in and be capa-
ble of the safe operation of the equipment, its
attachments, and all controls. Do not allow any-
one to operate this equipment without proper
instructions.
■■Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
■■
Train all new personnel and review instructions
frequently with existing workers. A person who has
not read and understood all operating and safety
instructions is not qualified to operate the
machine. An untrained operator exposes himself
and bystanders to possible serious injury or death.
PREPARATION
■■Always wear relatively tight and belted clothing
to avoid getting caught in moving parts. Wear stur-
dy, rough-soled work shoes and protective equip-
ment for eyes, hair, hands, hearing, and head; and
respirator or filter mask where appropriate.
■■Make sure attachment is properly secured,
adjusted, and in good operating condition.
■■Tractor
must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS
cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fas-
tened. Falling off tractor
can result in death from
being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS
system in “locked up” position at all times.
■■A heavy load can cause instability in driving a
tractor. Make sure the rear of the tractor is
properly counter-balanced with weights. Always
drive slowly – especially around turns. An unsta-
ble tractor could steer badly and possibly tip
over, causing injury or death.
The use of the optional rear 3 pt. ballast box is
recommended. Ask your dealer.
■■Do not exceed the lift capacity of your loader
or attachment. See loader specifications.
■■Know your equipment's capabilities, dimen-
sions, and operations before operating. Visually
inspect your equipment before you start, and
never operate equipment that is not in proper
working order with all safety devices intact.
Check all hardware to ensure it is tight. Make cer-
tain that all locking pins, latches, and connection
devices are properly installed and secured.
Remove and replace any damaged, fatigued, or
excessively worn parts. Make certain all safety
decals are in place and are legible. Keep decals
clean, and replace them if they become worn or
hard to read.
■■Move wheels to the widest recommended set-
ting to increase stability.
■■Do not work under raised loaders without sup-
porting them. Do not use support material made
of concrete blocks, logs, buckets, barrels, or any
other material that could suddenly collapse or
shift positions. Make sure support material is
solid, not decayed, warped, twisted, or tapered.
Lower loaders to ground level or on blocks.
Lower loaders and attachments to the ground
before leaving the cab or operator's station.
■■Check the tractor's hydraulic system. Be sure
the hydraulic oil and filter have been serviced
according to manufacturer's recommendations.
Refer to your tractor loader operator's manual or
dealer for any adjustments necessary to put the
hydraulic system in good working order.

kind of operator.
■■Never allow children or untrained persons to
operate equipment.
■■Keep bystanders away from equipment.
■■
Never allow riders on tractor or attachment.
■■
Always be careful when tipping a load back
when the loader is fully raised. The load could fall
back on the operator or the tractor, causing injury
or death.
■■
Do not detach loader from tractor with this
attachment installed. Equip loader with materials
bucket when detaching.
The operator is responsible for the safe operation
of this equipment. The operator must be properly
trained. Operators should be familiar with the equip-
ment, the tractor, and all safety practices before
starting operation. Read the safety rules and safety
decals on pages 3 through page 7.
The required size of the tractor and front loader will
be determined by the weight of the load to be han-
dled.
Always use a tractor and front loader large enough
to safely handle the load.
Check your tractor and front loader to make sure
they are in good working condition.
When lifting loads with a tractor front loader, it is
always best to have a heavy implement or weight box
connected to the rear 3 pt. hitch.
This adapter is designed for John Deere 100
series, 200 series, and 300E loaders. The adapter
will allow these loaders to connect to front loader
implements that have the universal skid steer type of
connection.
Never exceed the load limit of the tractor, loader,
or adapter. DO NOT use this adapter on larger
loaders and try to handle loads that are greater than
what this adapter is designed for.
Check your loader manual if there is a question.
WARNING
■■Tractor must be equipped with ROPS or ROPS
cab and seat belt. Keep seat belt securely fas-
tened. Falling off tractor can result in death from
being run over or crushed. Keep foldable ROPS
systems in “locked up” position at all times.

service or maintenance, follow these steps:
disengage power to equipment, lower all raised
components to the ground, operate valve levers
to release any hydraulic pressure, set parking
brake, stop engine, remove key, and unfasten
seat belt.
WARNING
■■Never use your hands to locate a hydraulic
leak. Use a piece of cardboard or wood. Hydraulic
fluid escaping under pressure can penetrate
skin. Openings in skin and minor cuts are sus-
ceptible to infection from hydraulic fluid. If
injured by escaping hydraulic fluid, see a doctor
at once. Gangrene and death can result. Without
immediate medical treatment, serious infection
and reactions can occur.
Replace any worn or damaged parts immediately.
Do not use attachment with any damaged parts.
Replace safety decals if damaged or missing.
Periodically lubricate the lockpin guides on the skid
steer latch with a good grade of grease.
Thoroughly clean the grease zerks before servic-
ing. Dirt mixed with lubricant will rapidly wear parts
