A compact loader according to claim 1, wherein the tower is constructed to rotate relative to the vehicle chassis. 10. A compact loader according to claim 9, further comprising a tower cylinder constructed for rotating the tower relative to the vehicle chassis. 11. A compact loader according to claim 8, further comprising rear hydraulic lines for operating tools in the rear implements area. 12. A material handling apparatus comprising: a vehicle having a front end, a rear end, a left side, a right side, a chassis, and a ground engagement device connected to the chassis for providing movement of the vehicle across ground;a propulsion and powering region for driving the material handling apparatus and providing the compact loader with skid steering, the propulsion and powering region comprising a rear mounted engine constructed for propelling the vehicle;a loader assembly comprising a left boom extending from the vehicle left side, and a right boom extending from the vehicle right side;a hydraulic system constructed for driving the loader assembly;an operator area comprising a cage for protecting an operator located within the operator area, controls for controlling movement of the vehicle and for controlling operation of the loader assembly, and an entrance to the operator area through the rear end of the vehicle;a forward tools area provided between the operator area and the front end of the vehicle; anda weight distribution so that the material handling apparatus is proportionally heavier at the rear end than at the front end so that the material handling apparatus is constructed to turn by skid steering. 13. A material handling apparatus according to claim 12, further comprising an operator seat provided within the operator area. 14. A material handling apparatus according to claim 13, further comprising an entrance to the operator area from the rear end of the vehicle and between at least one of the left boom and the operator seat, and the right boom and the operator seat. 15. A material handling apparatus according to claim 11, further comprising a rear implements area provided at the vehicle rear end for attachment of tools or implements at the vehicle rear end. 16. A material handling apparatus according to claim 15, wherein the rear implements area can be powered by the hydraulic system and/or by a power takeoff. 17. A material handling apparatus according to claim 16, wherein the rear implements area comprises at least one of a hitch, a lift, a bucket, a rake, a mower, a box scraper, a dozer blade, a drill, and a bale spear. 18. A material handling apparatus according to claim 12, wherein the forward tools area comprises at least one of a dump box, a work platform, a hitch, a fluid tank, a handheld sprayer, a vacuum/blower device, wire/cable/hose spool, and a cement mixer. 19. A material handling apparatus according to claim 12, further comprising an attachment attached to the loader assembly, wherein the attachment comprises at least one of a bucket, a landscape rake, a spray assembly, a sweeper, a mower, a hitch, a cement mixer, a blade, a trencher, a container lifter, a plow, a pincer, and a bale grappler. 20.
