This is the compact front-end loader style, not a full farm tractor, not a full construction digger, but the squat workhorse you see clearing snow from driveways, moving gravel on building sites, and shifting muck on small holdings. The scoop bucket is the defining feature: its angled forward, bottom near the ground, ready to dig. Six thread colours give you the orange bodywork, grey steel bucket, blue-tinted cab windows, and dark navy interior shadow. One customer ordered this specifically for a contractor company uniform run, said the six-colour palette let him match the companies branding exactly.
Stitch counts run 12,721 at the compact end to 25,577 at the largest, 5 colour changes across 6 stops. Pop poly cutaway against the back on shirts. For bags or canvas with heavier stitch loads, slide firm cutaway into the hoop before you start. Dont rush the registration on the blue cab glazing stop, its a small stitch area and a wonky hoop shows there.
Four sizes, from just under 2.5 inches tall to just over 7 inches. Im genuinely happy with how the tyre lugs came out at medium sizes, the circular lug detail holds without becoming a blob, which is tricky at under 4 inches. Use the colour sequence: orange, silver-grey, mid-grey, blue-purple, navy, black outlines last.
I stitched this last week on orange polar fleece as a joke gift for a builder mate and on olive drab canvas for a kids room cushion. Both worked great. The navy cab glazing is surprizingly important, flat black wouldnt give the cab that realistic glassed-in look.

About the artist
Reyazul Masud Riham, hand-drawing every design on this site
Every design on Re Embroidery is hand-digitized by one person. Each file gets sketched, color-matched, and stitch-tested on real fabric before it earns a place in the shop. No team. No auto-conversion from images. Just slow, deliberate work, sometimes three or four days per design.
That's the joy I work for.
The hard part is finding my designs re-uploaded and resold elsewhere. So when you buy from Re Embroidery, you're paying one real person for the file you're about to download. That matters.
