In this study, a hydraulic system of a mini-loader is modeled, and the model is validated by comparing the simulation results to the experimental results. A load force acting on the structure of the mini-loader is obtained from the simulation of the hydraulic system, and the structural analysis via finite element method is performed using the obtained load force to evaluate the structural safety of the loader. For the mainframe that requires additional strengthening according to the structural analysis, the optimum design parameters are proposed using the design of experiments to improve strength without additional mass.

A loader is construction & road or agricultural machinery for lifting, moving, and mixing. This study deals with the agricultural mini loader for stock raising farming. The performance of the machine is established by pulling power, working lifting capacity, and minimum circling radius, etc. Also, driving easiness and endurance are very important in manufacturing. Thus, this study has developed the loader with the 4-wheel driving equipment by gear transmission, the 4-wheel steering equipment by power handle steering type, and the equipment making four wheels touch simultaneously on the rugged ground. The developed loader having these functions was very fit in a small cattle shed or a rugged ground. This study is divided into two parts; (I) development of 4WS transmission and (II) construction of the loader by 4WS system and other equipments.
