Thanks guys. Disclaimer that my projects usually have something that’s not ‘necessary’ or ‘normal’ but the O.C.D. / sense of aesthetics takes over. The posts are screwed on to 4x4 exterior grade post brackets and those brackets are center bolted down using threaded j-hook concrete anchors. The...

Needed an excuse to build something no oops I mean a place to store implements more out of the weather / help free up space in the barn.

If it helps your peace of mind I've used my FEL extensively (bucket, grapple, forks) frequently at or near max capacity and have had the FEL on and off dozens of times with no issues. After ~100 hrs I don't see any signs of adverse wear or deformation on any of the FEL attachment / clamping points.

Hair cut day

Not sure what's different ?? I've had the loader on and off dozens of times and plenty of bucket, grapple, and pallet work with no issues with the loader arm support mechanism.

Trail maintenance

I also encourage the clay bar step. It's kind of wild what it will pick up. Here's a recent example from a section of a freshly washed 'clean' hood. Doing this before the orbital helps reduce rubbing abrasives around in the paint.

going through 3 cups a day right now

A real *hayday* for the pasture critters

My loader is off at the moment but comparing orientation I think your link arm is on wrong end of connection bolt. These views are as if looking out from the tractor.

I can relate - this 15 gal setup I pieced together is serving me well. Used for spot spray or broadcast over the pond depending on pto and bypass pressure control valve settings.

Thanks it's working well for my needs. It does have a large single hydraulic shock absorber (simple, no controls) that dampens the motion so you don't have to worry about *slamming over*. Just creep up towards the tilt point (loading or unloading) and the deck starts to move. When unlocked it...

At it’s heaviest (tractor, weighted tires, FEL w/ bucket, concrete filled ballast box, trailer) it’s about 5,800 lbs. The Taco (2013 with the 4L V6 and tow package) does decent for how I tow with it: relatively short trips, not on the interstate, a few steep but no long grades, leave plenty of...

Trying out my new 16' tilt trailer.

Man down! sub-in RunsWithScissors! Yeah dang I saw your post on that - ouch!

Wife's "pets" as seen in the pasture today

If backhoing were a sport I believe this is what it would look like. I’d want dirtydeed on my team. In my head I hear Jim Nantz commentating in his best “The Master – A tradition unlike any other” voice.

Love the nostalgia vibe going here. First for me was Bruce Springsteen - Born in the USA tour in 1985 - what an epic show! And a long list of many great shows and memories after that. Including Jimmy Ryser, who I see was posting on this thread ~5 years back (small world!)

Thanks! The basic box I bought but then fabed the top basket & holders for long handled tools & saw plus this dolly (which is a huge help.) The little B can get some work done but it does need ballast if taking it to its limits.
