<p num="1"><br/><br/><br/><br/>The pole-handling attachment for an end loader is installed upon the machine <br/>(e.g., <br/>skid-steer machine, tractor and bucket, etc.) in place of the conventional <br/>bucket, for <br/>manipulating poles, posts, and other elongate columns by a single machine <br/>operator. The <br/>attachment includes a base frame having opposite fixed ends, and a sliding <br/>pole clamp <br/>assembly therebetween. A series of arms extend from one of the fixed ends and <br/>the sliding <br/>assembly for grasping the pole therebetween. The end loader tilt mechanism is <br/>adjusted to <br/>orient the arms normal to the pole, and the machine is maneuvered to position <br/>the arms on <br/>opposite sides of the pole. The slide assembly is then moved to clamp the pole <br/>against the <br/>opposite fixed end, and the machine maneuvered to position the pole as <br/>required. The base <br/>frame may include a pivot mechanism to allow the frame to rotate, for greater <br/>versatility.<br/>
