I wouldn't trust a carry-all frame (like RK/KK) to handle much more lift than the loader. Forks - probably rated 2k-4k - more than my loader can lift. I haven't tested them lifting from the 3PH - like on a 10' wet sycamore log that the FEL can't lift - after going through getting the 3PH...

Hi - I worked up a design for mods to my Landpride forks - I already had a Titan Aerial Work platform for the forks that I tricked out as a carryall. Wanted to be able to carry it on my quicktach 3PH, so that I could have the bucket or grapple (or grapple in bucket) when I'm out working...

I've got a B3350 with MMM - not sure how different it is from your machine, but here's what I do. 1. Park in barn on concrete floor or on paved driveway (easier to maneuver than on dirt, lawn or gravel) 2. Set parking brake and turn machine off 3. Pull & lock spring-loaded pins on both...

On your wet bales, if you haven't already done something with them, you might try selling them to EPA, state EPA or an environmental remediation company. We ended up with our share of wet round bales at the edge of the field and EPA bought them all for a creosote plant cleanup project...

Mystery solved today - SDT - you pointed me in the right general direction! Got off my butt and crawled around and under the machine - I was checking the MMM lift actuators - by the back wheels, and found the empty hole - it was a ROPS mounting screw - one of 5. Turns out that they were all...

uH-O, if it's DPF, it will probably cost $8,000 to fix ... I'm resigned to get off my but and go over the whole thing with a flashlight & inspection mirror and try to figure it out. If somethings going to fail from it not being there, it's guaranteed to be the farthest possible distance from...

Of course, forgot the photos - here they are.

I found this bolt on the barn floor today under the Bota. No idea where it fell off. It's got a 7 on the head and is about 1-3/8" long. I did see others like it, on the machine, but couldn't find any missing holes. Here are some photos. As promised, the joke (somewhat related): A guy's...

Thanks all for the get well wishes and sharing of stories. You mean I'm not the only one who does stupid things?? I decided to post my mis-adventure as a general reminder to everyone to be safe and know your limits. It may be a while before the doc clears me to drive and Bota, which compounds...

I've got a pole saw and a work platform that goes on the FEL forks. The work platform is solid and I'm very comfortable on that. But I couldn't reach the limbs with them - that's when I should have quit.

Since there isn't a forum for "Dumb Stuff I Shouldn't Have Done (OTT Confessions)", I'm posting mine here. Last week I let my undeserved sense of self-confidence get the better of me. Had a few free hours in the morning before the dew burned off the grass enough to mow, so I checked the to-do...

Congratulations BKS!! I own a B3350 (predecessor to LX3310). I had DPF problems that resulted in a major DPF replacement/repair and it's been fine ever since. You do NOT want to be operating your new machine at lower RPM's. After the replacement, I go by the following steps: Use glow plugs...

That's a nice looking project Trimley! In my case, we were going to re-use the removed shrub in other places, so I couldn't employ my wrap-the-chain-and-yank procedure. With the yews & burning bush root systems, I don't think my B3350 could have yanked them out.

Turns out that first bush was the easiest of the bunch. Did the rest of them yesterday and the shrub size & root structures were more formidable. The bucket is 1/4" steel and I had no issues going straight down, angling in and curling or pushing/pulling in a hole with it. It would take more...

Our spring to-do list includes removing a number of shrubs from the perimeter of the house foundation and replacing them with lower maintenance/better looking versions (planted with more space from the foundation). I didn't relish the idea of doing it all by hand, so found a Wolverine TD13-36R...

Just got a custom upgrade to my grille guard. Since I lack welding skills, my metal fab. is limited to what I can do with an angle grinder, drill, sawzall, hammers, vise with bolts to hold it together. As you can see from the before photo, that worked fine for my version 1.0 - no grille...

Since it's mounted, working good and no problems with tearing up FEL or bucket, I'm calling this project completed. I do appreciate the suggestions - as you can tell, a frugality reality check caused me to go from the original SSQA plate configuration to $10 worth of bolted-on piece angle...

The trees that line the drive are Siberian elms, which I love. They were planted in the early 60's by a former owner and his kids and they're pretty old, as elms go, so there's no way we wanted to take any chances with anything that might harm them in any way - the trees have outlived the...

Scratcher report - V1.0 Decided to scale back grandiose plans (since this thing will only get used every other year) and try to use what I had laying around - so here's V 1.0 When a garden rake handle wears out (or when I run over it & break it), I keep the metal head - usually paint it dayglo...

I wanted to do one ribbon at a time with the FEL, since it gives me better control and I'm not twisting my neck as much. I do like D2Cat's idea about the baler teeth - for the scratcher. AKGuy - your observation is correct - seems to apply to about everything at this place - not too easy, not...
