LS25 DU-AL Loader v1.0.0.0

The DU-AL front loader is a brand of tractor-mounted front-end loaders that were widely used in agriculture and light construction. Known for their durability and versatility, DU-AL loaders were designed to be compatible with various tractor models from major manufacturers like John Deere, Ford, Massey Ferguson, and others.

Key Features of DU-AL Front Loaders:
Hydraulic Operation DU-AL loaders use hydraulic cylinders powered by the tractor’s hydraulic system, allowing for smooth operation of the loader arms and bucket.
Attachment Options
Buckets (general-purpose, material handling)
Bale spears
Pallet forks
Manure forks Many DU-AL models offered quick-attach systems, allowing for fast switching between implements.
Mounting System DU-AL loaders were designed for easy mounting and dismounting, making it feasible for operators to attach and remove them without too much effort or special tools.
Durability and Heavy-Duty Construction These loaders were known for their strong build and ability to handle demanding farm work.
Models DU-AL had a range of models with different lifting capacities, reach, and compatibility with tractor sizes. Model numbers like DU-AL 310, DU-AL 340, or DU-AL 500 were typical, with specifications suited for compact to full-size farm tractors.
Company Background

DU-AL was originally an independent loader manufacturer. Over time, the company or its product lines were acquired by Woods Equipment Company, a larger manufacturer of agricultural implements. After the acquisition, support for older DU-AL models continued for a time, but new production eventually ceased, making DU-AL loaders legacy equipment.

Today, they are still found on many farms due to their reliability, but replacement parts can be harder to find and may require aftermarket suppliers or salvage yards.
Typical Applications
Lifting and moving hay bales
Clearing brush or manure
Loading gravel or dirt
Transporting pallets or materials around the farm

Maintenance Tips
Check hydraulic hoses regularly for wear
Grease pivot points often
Ensure loader is properly mounted and secured to avoid frame stress
Replace worn or damaged pins and bushings to maintain lift alignment
