Hi guys,
Sorry I've been away a while....Gettin' ready for winter up here in the sticks is a chore...

Anyhow, I chose the Hardy loader for the 40 degree rollback at ground level (vs. 17 degree or so on the MF) and the autoleveling feature so I don't dump horse manure on my head..... The Hardy company also stated that they have updated the specs to show 1400lbs lift capacity at the pin. It works very well. We had to dig a hole (unfortunately) today to bury a horse that passed, and the little ol' MF1433 dug a 7-8 foot deep hole 8 feet wide in about 2 hours... Didn't really have time to hire our usual guy, so we gave it a shot and lo & behold.... You do need to ramp into it, but it worked fine.

By the way, we hit 60 hours today!!! Only trouble is a bent 3-point mount (my fault!) we just banged it out.... She has done everything we have asked of her!! [img]/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif[/img]
