Abstract
A skid steer loader having a main frame supported on four wheels, and a cab with upwardly extending side walls mounted on the main frame for providing an area in which an operator can control the loader. The loader is propelled by an engine operatively coupled to the wheels by a first assembly of suitable control components. A boom structure comprising a pair of arms and a mounting assembly is also mounted on the frame. A second assembly of suitable components is also coupled to the engine to provide appropriate control of the boom structure for raising and lowering the pair of arms. The first assembly of control components includes a pair of hydraulic motors for driving the wheels, and a system associated with the motors for selectively changing the speed ranges of the motors to change the speed at which the wheels propel the loader.
