Funny, I was looking at Kioti's this weekend and they all had built-in cup/beer bottle holders already.
My DK45 has 3 hehe. Guess they think were all redneck beer guzzlers in the USA LOL
Wish it had an onboard refrigerator . A sat tv would be nice also
The worst thing to do with a FEL is not use it. :tractor:
I've moved tones of gravel, dirt and rock, dug ditches, built a driveway and spread gravel. I've backbladed dirt and gravel with great success. I've removed stumps and backfilled the holes they left behind. :thumbsup:
You generally know when you're being abusive. It should become apparent when to take it down a notch.
When using your bucket as a bath tub make sure you-
1. Dump the dirt out
2. Park with the bucket facing away from the road.
I won't say how I learned these tips.
I agree. That's a judgement call that you have to make based on your particular soil conditions and hardware.
You can back blade safely though with the lift arms in float right? Say up to 60-70 degrees so the the bucket will hop over the dreaded immovable object. Not in float I can see bad things happening back blading with steep angles... Probably if you are going slow enough you can get away with it but not with lots of speed."Unless you want to bend or break bucket cylinders, do not back drag with the bucket tilted forward beyond 15 degrees. Do not back drag with front wheels off the ground."
Thanks this is good to know- I do this all the time.
