FL104 Front Loader


Company President David Leach poses with the new FL-104

    Leach unveiled a new front loader for 1991, the FL104 Millennium series. Featuring an all-new lightweight curved-shell body, the new Leach was one of the first challengers to the groundbreaking 1986 E-Z-Pack Hercules. The new Leach body, with 8,000 pound lift arms was initially available in 37 and 40 yard sizes. Packing cylinders were cross-mounted horizontally, and a full-length floor trough served as a liquid sump while adding rigidity to the bottom end.
