Loader Attachments
John Deere Front Loader Attachments
Front loader attachments turn a tractor loader into a pallet mover, a bale handler, a brush clearer or a snow blade. They connect to the loader's attachment carrier with a quick-attach system, so one loader can take on many jobs around the farm or property.
Many of these attachments are part of the Frontier line from John Deere. Koenig Equipment sells and supports them across Ohio and Indiana, and our team can confirm which version fits your loader before you buy.

Front Loader Attachment FAQs
Will this attachment fit my John Deere loader?
Each attachment is built for a specific loader series or attachment carrier, such as quick-change carriers on 100, 200 and 300 Series loaders or the global carrier. Some, like the AB13 bale spear, come in several versions for different loaders. Bring your tractor and loader model and our team will confirm the right version.
Do I need third-function hydraulics to run a grapple?
Hydraulic grapples and 4-in-1 buckets use hydraulic cylinders, so they need a hydraulic connection at the loader to open and close. The MG20F mechanical grapple is the exception: it opens and closes with the bucket cylinders, so no third function is needed.
How much can John Deere pallet forks lift?
The AP10 is rated for 1,250 lb with 36 in. tines and the AP11 for 2,000 lb. Always stay within your loader's rated lift capacity as well.
What are the most useful attachments for a compact tractor loader?
It depends on your work. Pallet forks move materials, a grapple handles brush and debris, a bale spear moves hay, and a front blade clears snow. Our team can help you choose based on the jobs you do most.
