A Front-End Loader

A front-end loader can handle a range of tasks. It can be used to move loose material (such as manure or soil), lift heavy items, create ditches, and even grade the land. 

This piece of construction equipment can be attached to many tractor models, which makes learning to use it much easier. You already know the controls for your tractor and it won't take long to learn to operate the front-end loader.

Front-end loaders are commonly used on smaller farms that need some extra lifting assistance. They tend to start at about $2,500.

A Telehandler

Telehandlers can access tall areas that other types of equipment wouldn't be able to reach. They are built with a boom that can extend impressively high up. Telehandlers can also be equipped with various attachments to make it more versatile, such as winches, pallet forks, muck grabs, and buckets. On a farm, a telehandler is commonly used for chores such as stacking bales of hay or moving fallen trees out of the way.

An Excavator

This type of construction equipment is made for digging. Excavators can be used on a farm to dig foundations before building structures, such as a barn. They can also be used to prepare land for planting crops, build fences for livestock, and clear land away to build a road.

A Skid-Steer Loader

A skid-steer loader offers impressive versatility, making it a great asset on a farm. Skid-steer loaders are compatible with various hydraulic attachments including augers for digging holes, buckets for moving materials, brooms for sweeping up debris, and trenchers for digging ditches.

A Forklift

Forklifts are made to move pallets and crates. They are often used in warehouses to transport items for either storage or shipment, but they can also be used on a farm. Forklifts can easily handle hay and other such bulky items that would be otherwise difficult to transport.
