Compact Wheel Loaders for Grey-Bruce Yards and Acreages

Questions I get about the R30 Series

The R30 Series carries a 0.5 cubic yard bucket — sized for moving snow, gravel, mulch, or feed around a farm yard or acreage without the size or cost of a construction-scale loader. It's the smaller of the two wheel loader lines I sell.

Frame oscillation lets the loader's frame flex slightly so all four tires stay in contact with uneven ground, keeping traction and stability consistent on gravel yards or rough field entrances. It's one of the things that sets an articulated loader apart from a skid steer on rough terrain.

Yes, the R30 is an articulated loader — it steers by bending at a center pivot rather than skidding the tires the way a skid steer does. That gives it a tighter effective turning circle with less tire scrubbing on hard surfaces like concrete or gravel.

Yes, the R30 Series is available with either an open canopy or an enclosed cab. A lot of my customers who plow snow or run the loader through the winter opt for the cab.

The R30 Series is rated at 47.6 horsepower — enough for everyday yard, farm, and light material-handling work without the size or cost of a full construction loader.
