I don't think it is unfair to expect the loader to lift a full bucket of loose dry dirt. I have operated the construction grade equipment you refer to and I fully understand the size and reasonable expectations for this size of tractor. In your statement you say it should be able to dig dirt...

It behaved the same in low or medium range. 50 hour service was done at 53 hours and I am approaching 100 hours now. I was careful to make the piles wide and not high with the excavator so that the tractor didn't have to lift through a deep pile of dirt. Also, our dirt here is what I call...

I've had my L4701 with the LA765 Front End Loader for around a year now. Over the last couple of weeks we have been extending our building lot into a small hillside by digging out the dirt with a Kubota 121-3 Mini Excavator and piling up the dirt for the tractor to move across the lot to the...

I have a buddy that has a garden tractor with a manual blade on the front. He plows his gravel parking lot using a piece of poly pipe with a slit cut in it over the cutting blade to keep from scraping up the gravel. Anybody tried this with their front end loader to pick up snow in a gravel...

I think I was around 60 hours for my first one. I wouldn't have noticed but I happened to glance down and see the yellow indicator on the dash. I just kept the rpm's up and continued to work. It was a non issue.

Thought I would share pictures of my latest project. We are building an 8100 sqft pre-engineered steel building and I am my own general contractor and chief laborer. The county required (and I agree with) a 20 foot driveway with 35 foot radius's on both sides and a 12" culvert pipe underneath...

Here is the final product. Exactly 2'x2'x2.5' for a weight of 1500 lbs. (Not sure why this site turned them sideways)

Acquired a free 100 gallon tanks from an abandoned airplane hanger. Filled it up with diesel, plugged it in to a 12v source and it works great. I use the fork attachment to load it in my pickup for refilling at pacific pride with off-road diesel and to move it to the dozer or excavator for...

Great answer everyone. Thank you. This helps.

Sorry this is a bit off the tractor topic but I don't know who else to ask. I built some four foot high nine foot horizontal terraces with a dozer In to the hillside behind our soon to be winery building. I wanted eight foot horizontal surfaces so I made them nine knowing that there would be...

What I have decided to do is buy a 3 point hitch from Titan which happens to be on sale right now ( https://www.palletforks.com/catalogsearch/result/?q=TDRLWv2 ) then weld on some extensions off the back, build a 2x2x2.5 ft box around the extensions, and pour concrete in the box equaling 10...

I have operated a lot of equipment in my life. I agree that with a bit of time you will get the feel of the bucket position and not need this. When I ordered mt L4701 I chose not to include it. Recently I have purchased the indicator and installed it because it turns out I am not the only one...

Alrighty then, 10 cu ft it is.

Yes I do. That should factor in to the equation. When I was using the rock bucket I used my 100 gallon sprayer full of water but I was nervous every about damaging it while focused on the task up front. I would feel more comfortable with a smaller indestructible concrete ballast..

I am going to build the metal framework and use concrete for a FEL counter weight. I have an L4701 with the LA765 FEL. I am about to begin a fairly large landscaping project and will be moving countless loads of topsoil and rock with the bucket. I am wondering what you all would recommend for...

I like to spray the cool radiator and engine with a degreaser (like the purple stuff) and then hose it off with a normal garden hose nozzle. No real need for the high pressure stuff.

I am jealous of the zero rock situation but in the end it will be worth it. This is our view of Lake Chelan...

I've seen those but no rental yards any where in my area rent them. Plus, that style is hydraulically operated and I don't have rear hydraulics. I think a better tool for me would be https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJSb54J47ws&app=desktop&persist_app=1 but I can't find one to rent and they are...

Definitely

Lol, yes I do!!! I owned a quick lube for a bunch of years and I have never run across a filter that tight.
