John Deere is expanding its lineup of compact equipment attachments with the introduction of the MB60 Material Boom, designed to give operators greater control when lifting, moving and placing heavy or irregularly shaped materials in confined jobsite environments.
The attachment is built for landscaping, general contracting and nursery operations, and is intended to help operators rig and place loads when buckets, forks or grapples are less effective.
“The MB60 Material Boom is designed to make difficult lifts feel more manageable,” said Emily Pagura, marketing manager, John Deere. “It offers versatility and helps operators execute precise placement with greater confidence.”
The MB60 has a rated lifting capacity of 6,000 pounds and includes dual hook points for multiple rigging configurations, allowing operators to adjust based on load size, shape and balance requirements.
When mounted to the front of a John Deere skid steer, compact track loader or compact wheel loader, the boom is designed to improve maneuverability and enable placement in confined or hard-to-reach areas. The attachment also includes serrated steps for footing during ingress and egress and is compatible with a range of John Deere machines when equipped with the appropriate coupler interface.
