I have some earthwork to do and rather than paying someone to do the heavy work thought I might by the 45 FEL for my 748 with the money instead and do the job myself
My only concern is that there is a lot of earth to shift and is the 45FEL on a 748 up to the job. The topsoil has been sitting in mounds from when it was scrapped 2 years ago and I would need to pick it up and spread it.
What are people's experiences with the 45FEL? Is it tough, or does it have limits of use that I need to be aware of? For example, the JD literature/reviews refer to using it for "loose material." My dirt has been in a pile for 2 years so is not exactly "loose" now.
