Knuckleboom Loaders

The loaders below are for full-time professional use.  If you are looking for loaders for part-time use, click here to transfer you to the pages which feature loaders for woodlot owners.

Farmi Log Loaders

The Farmi line of knuckleboom loaders has models which can be mounted on forwarding trailers, farm tractors as well as trucks.  The loaders are built heavy enough to stand up in full time, professional use.

All models have four cylinders on the rack and pinion boom turning rotators.  There is, therefore, enough torque to load uphill if necessary.  The loaders can be ordered with or without hydraulic outriggers.   Several control valve options are available ranging from joysticks to individual levers for every function.

The Farmi loaders work straight out from the box.   Every loader has been assembled, tested and adjusted at the factory.  Assembly is easy, because the loader is shipped with all hoses and booms assembled.
