I had to google it, good question lol

I remember a name that I saw a lot on them back as a kid when I first noticed them, I'm wondering, Drott?
Now I'll go google:laughing:


edit, that was lucky, I remember the loader name on the grill/radiator just above the bucket. I did not have high confidence in that guess:laughing:

Probably the same guy that invented this...

I googled it. Fun question.

Probably a guy that saw the grading capability of a 4-in-1 on a loader, but, did not own one,
designed the first 3 point hitch landplane.

I watched my nephew grade with a 953 CAT 4-in-1 bucket, it was amazing.
now that I own a landplane, I can get similar results,,,

I'm not going to google it, I just can't cheat. I think the 1st one I seen was on a cat. I will wait and see what comes up in a few days then I will not be able to hold back. THEN I'LL CHEAT.

Same guy who invented the internet.

I'm just guessing, but with Letourneao inventing so many things, he's at the top of my list. Holt would be next, then Kaiser for my top three guesses.

I'm going to guess that is was either the JCB founder who, as I understand it, invented the loader-backhoe or the inventor of the articulating loader.

I Googled nothing and speak only from a hunch.
