A front loader comprising: a boom configured to be removably coupled to a vehicle body; a bucket supported at a front end of the boom; a stand configured to support the boom, when removed from the vehicle body, in a state in which the bucket is engaged on the ground; and a bending/stretching link (22,122) that is provided spanning the boom and the stand, and is configured to prop and support the stand in a state in which the stand is engaged on the ground; characterized in that the front loader further comprises: a link operating mechanism (23,123) that is provided spanning the bucket and the stand, and is configured to cause, using a swing force of the bucket, the bending/stretching link (22,122) to bend so that the propping and supporting of the bending/stretching link are released; a holding member (24,124) posture-switchable between a holding posture in which the holding member is engaged with the stand (21,121) for holding the stand at a raised/stored posture and a holding releasing posture in which the holding member is released from the stand; an operation tool (33,131) operable into a locked position for switching the holding member to the holding posture and an unlocked position for switching the holding member to the holding releasing posture; an inhibiting portion switchable between an inhibition effective state for inhibiting release of the holding member relative to the stand in spite of switchover of the operation tool to the unlocked position and an inhibition releasing state for allowing release of the holding member relative to the stand; and an inhibition switchover mechanism configured to maintain the inhibiting portion under the inhibition effective state as the bucket is supported to the boom under a first set posture and to switch the inhibiting portion to the inhibition releasing state as the bucket is supported to the boom under a second set posture a boom configured to be removably coupled to a vehicle body;
