Wheel loaders.
Wheel loaders.

Wheel Loaders, variously called front loaders, scoops, or bucket loaders, are capable of handling multiple tasks with their massive front scoop. Backhoes are also equipped with a similar scoop, but wheel loaders have much more tilting ability than backhoes, letting them dig into the ground to dig up topsoil.

While wheel loaders are capable of handling any bulk material, they are most notable for handling soil. Wheel loaders are popularly used during contracts to remove the topsoil and load the topsoil into a truck, where it can be sold for a small amount of money. If a truck isn't available, bulk materials can simply be dumped elsewhere, or outside the contract area to have it disappear entirely.

Official Description: Wheel loaders are suitable for loading large quantities of bulk materials, such as soil Soil icon, gravel Gravel icon, or sand Sand icon. Properly aligned, the bucket of a wheel loader is also suitable for clearing, flattening and spreading bulk materials.

Compact Wheel Loaders[edit]

Compact wheel loaders are similar to their full-size counterparts, but are far smaller and more manoeuvrable. This makes them most effective at smaller jobs, in confined residential areas where space is at a premium, or on larger semi-trailers that can fit multiple compact vehicles.
