Summer Is Project Season—Are You Ready?
As the weather warms up, it's time to shift from dreaming to doing. Whether you’re managing a few acres, maintaining a homestead, or just looking to improve your property, summer is prime time for outdoor projects. And nothing makes those jobs easier than a compact, powerful front-end loader.
At Little Buck Loader, we build rugged, American-made front-end loaders that fit your John Deere lawn or garden tractor like a glove. If you’ve been thinking about upgrading your equipment for summer tasks, now’s the time.
1. Refresh Your Gravel Driveway or Trail
Over time, gravel driveways develop ruts, potholes, and low spots—especially after spring rains. A front-end loader is perfect for:
Spreading new gravel
Leveling low areas
Removing debris and brush along the edges
Our loaders can handle these jobs with precision, letting you clean up and reshape your drive without breaking a sweat.
2. Mulch Moving Made Simple
Summer means yard work—and mulch. Lots of it. Whether you’re dressing flower beds or building up around trees, you don’t need to make 20 trips with a wheelbarrow.
Use your loader to:
Haul bulk mulch from your drop site to the garden
Spread it efficiently with less strain on your back
Clean up easily when you're done
3. Tackle Storm Cleanup Quickly
Thunderstorms, high winds, and even heavy rain can leave a mess behind. Downed limbs, soggy brush piles, and scattered debris? That’s loader territory.
Pair your loader with a grapple attachment (like our KBX Talon for Kubota BX tractors, our JD Talon for JD 120R loaders, and our Antler Grappler that attaches to our own front-end loaders) and make storm cleanup fast, safe, and frustration-free.
4. Prep Your Property for Outdoor Fun
Hosting a cookout or planning a backyard upgrade? A loader can help you:
Level ground for patios or firepits
Move dirt or sand for landscaping
Haul rock, timbers, or pavers with ease
Let your loader do the heavy lifting while you enjoy more of summer.
5. Feed & Clean Up for Hobby Farms
Summer means more activity on hobby farms—whether it's expanding garden plots, cleaning out coops, or hauling feed. Our loaders help you:
Move compost, hay, or manure
Clear brush and branches
Transport supplies across your property
Have a John Deere x700, 318, or 2305? We have a loader that fits perfectly.
Why Choose Little Buck Loader for Your Summer Work?
Our loaders are built for small tractors, not subcompacts or full farm rigs. That means:
Quick attach/detach in minutes
Compact size, full utility
Made in America, by a family-run team
Perfect for tractors John Deere doesn’t support with OEM loaders
From landscaping to homesteading, we help real folks get more done with what they already have.
