New M Series front end loader range from John Deere suits tractors up to 155hp

It says 20 per cent less rear ballast is required as a result of weighing 20 per cent less than its R Series cousins.

A focus on speed and manoeuvrability, sees the second smallest model, the 603M raise its bucket in four seconds, according to the manufacturer.

All M Series models can be fitted with an optional suspension system, while the hydraulic components are routed internally to protect them from any potential impact. The company adds that the new loaders can use the same mounting frames as the established R Series, thus avoiding the need for fleet owners to adapt their existing tractors.

In addition, the new front loaders are also fully compatible with the manufacturer’s front hitches, allowing full front axle oscillation and maximum steering angles while also leaving room to access the main tractor service points.

Available now, the M Series front loaders fit 5M, 5R, 6M and 6R Series tractors up to and including the 6155M and 6155R models.
