A Front-Loading Tool is a piece of equipment for Front Loaders, which they need in order to do any Front-Loading Work. There is a very large variety of Front-Loading Tools available in the game, and each is designed for a particular job. A Front Loader can switch between tools whenever it needs to do a different job.
Each Front Loader Tool can fit only on one type of Front Loader - a Telehandler, a Wheel Loader, a Skid Steer, or a Front-Loading Tractor). It will not normally fit on other types. Some types of Front Loaders have access to tools of all types, while others can only fit a limited variety of tools.
Once fitted to a Front Loader, the tool can be raised, lowered, or rotated using the Front Loader's hydraulic controls. Some tools can be opened and closed to perform special functions.
Front Loading Tools are generally cheap, and have barely any maintenance. Some tools can be repainted.
