Most farmers know that there is a substantial amount of work on a farm that can’t necessarily be done by using traditional equipment, like cleaning land for the cultivation of crops. What is called for in this case is the removal of rocks and tree trunks, or the filling up of holes.
Equipment or production inputs, such as feed or fertiliser, also sometimes need to be moved. For work like this on a farm, a multipurpose front end loader is indispensable.
Wuhlf Equipment is a popular supplier of this type of equipment to farmers, due to Wuhlf’s commitment to supply its customers with implements of high quality at an affordable price that are easy to maintain. This is also the case with Wuhlf’s new JX 450 front end loader that was released to the market this year.

The Unseen Protector
The belief in the Unseen Protector or Unseen Shepherd endured for around 600 years, from the 13th century up until the 19th century.
