make sure you got the horizontal clearence for when you go to dump thats the other thing i just thought of. so at max height how much room do you habe from the front if the tractor to your dump angle. the higher you go the shorter that distance becomes

i deal with horse poo on the regular. manure pile adds up fast so we routinely put out facebook market adds for free manure will load your trailer or truck bed. so ive loaded all sorts and the biggest i can go easily with the 6060 is a large dump trailer. i dont think ive got the reach to...

finished my floor dollies and pallet racking for the heaviest implements starting with the sbp1684 at around 1100 lbs. beams on the next rack section are temporary to get everythung bolted to the floor with concrete wedge anchors. the all purpose seeder is going in the next section...

finally got a nice day. so i built a dolly for my bh92. im going to chang the location of the wheels and see if its eadier to roll. my initial thought was to support the center. but adding the top two boards under the operator platform i dont think its needed so im going to change that

this is really more a problem with cheap chicom/korea/india like kioti tym mahindra LS etc. tractors such as those brands tend to dangerously oversize their fel with no regard to frame size wheel spacing and weight of the machine, making it super easy to get into dangerous orientations. its...
