It’s been almost a year and I love my PTB!! It only comes off when I need to use pallet forks. Digging, uprooting bushes, even the bucket capacity is slightly larger. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I wish I knew about rear remotes and TnT when I was buying a tractor. I would have preferred to have the dealer install them from the get-go and roll that cost into my financing. Always smarter in hindsight! However posts like yours give me hope that I can still some day install rear remotes...

I mounted a GoPro to my bucket and then mounted one of those phone holding car dash mount things to the hood. However streaming the preview from GoPro to Phone had about a two second lag so it wasn’t quite as usable as I would’ve liked. But hey I already had the go Pro and The car Dash mount so...

I also rarely use the Float function of the FEL as just a bit of resistance tends to lift the front wheels up. Perhaps my technique is wrong or i'm not using it in the right application?

I just learned that the number on the side of the FEL is the lift capacity at the bucket pins in kilograms! And there’s about 2.2 lbs in 1kg hence the rule of thumb! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

If I tried to build this in California it would be called a pit.

I should have specified that I only would want that rule of thumb for my specific loader not all kubota loaders.

This just blew my mind! I love tools like this! Is there any rough rule of thumb to calculate lift capacity as you move further from the pins, like subtract X amount of pounds for every inch away from the pins? Thanks for sharing.

Oh geez, well we consider low 40's cold around here -I know I know don't laugh too hard we're only slightly embarrassed :D

Oh yea that angle is only for photos and the install, when it's parked the bucket and teeth are on the ground. Of course that doesn't mean I won't walk into it from time to time.

That gave me a good laugh! Everyone’s pictures have snow with snow blowers and snow blades, I’m getting jealous cause they sure look fun! I don’t think my tractor will ever see snow here in San Diego. I’m hoping this weekend I’ll get some seat time and see what I can do with this thing. Sent...

A meeting got cancelled so I grabbed the necessary tools and installed my new Piranha tooth bar! Installation was very simple and I got to use it for about 10 minutes... I’ll have to log a few more hours before giving my thoughts. But I have pics, and oh is it pretty! Sent from my iPhone...

I have already walked into it once, as it was sitting on the ground in my office and I wasn't watching where I was walking... BANG! :mad:

It arrived yesterday. The first thing she said was "oh wow that looks really mean and sharp". I just nodded. Now I need some time to install it.

These are all great questions, and exactly the thoughts that went through my head when reading the specs for the first time. How do I know what this thing can or can't lift?!?

After I install my piranha tooth bar I'll be checking out Ken's Hooks and Mounts. Still not sure what would suit my needs best, love your setup it's helping me decide.

I have a feeling mine will sit around and wait for me to find the time to install it also, which could take weeks these days.

I showed my wife this thread and she said "oh, just get it" so I threw a tape measure on the bucket and placed my order!

This is an excellent point, I spent a few weeks before purchase thinking about this exact thought. There's no way of knowing what my needs will be in 3 years only my best guesses. I figure when (if ever) I need a lot of forklift work I'll buy a forklift.

No offense taken! The solution provided by my dealer fit my needs perfectly and saved me approximately $1500, which to me is significant.
