A loader/attachment assembly is provided. The loader/attachment assembly can be referred to as a loader/bucket assembly when the attachment is a bucket. The loader/attachment assembly can include a bucket and a loader assembly. The bucket includes a bucket attachment region and a bucket face opening. The loader assembly includes a left boom and a right boom. The left boom includes a left first boom end constructed for attachment to a left bracket assembly on a motor vehicle, a left second boom end attached to the bucket attachment region, a left lift cylinder, and a left attachment cylinder. The right boom includes a right first boom end constructed for attachment to a right bracket assembly on a motor vehicle, a right second boom end attached to the bucket attachment region, a right lift cylinder, and a right attachment cylinder. The loader/attachment assembly is constructed so that the bucket rotates relative to the loader assembly so that when the loader/attachment assembly is provided in a storage position, the bucket face opening rests on the ground. A combination motor vehicle and loader/attachment assembly and a method for using a loader/attachment assembly are provided.
