German term or phrase: Arbeit in der Front
Arbeitskomfort spricht für Arbeit in der Front.

Der Vorteil des Selbstfahrers: Mit jeder Herdenaufstockung gehen eine weitere Senkung der Futterkosten und des Arbeitszeitbedarfes pro Kuh einher, denn die zeitliche Dauer des Mischvorganges und die Wegezeiten als Ganzes bleiben ja weitgehend gleich.

front-mounted implement
Explanation:
Found your source document and the pictures indicate that the machine has a front-mounted hydraulic implement. This would be easier to operate than a rear mounted thing on the back of a tractor, which is harder to manoeuvre and forces you to look over your shoulder. I know that it doesn't really relate to what follows, hence the confidence level of 1.

Thanks. My brother, a farmer, noticed the same thing - just a case of bad writing. Unfortunately, not all companies use certificated technical writers.

agree  Cetacea: Based on your research, I'd use something like "working up front makes life easier" for this title, since the original uses marketing lingo rather than technical jargon as well.
