So it looks like we might close on our new property in the next week or so. That means I'll have a bunch of my tools, steel, tool chests and four big heavy work benches to move out of a storage unit and into my new to me shop.
I currently have the L4330 with an FEL bucket and forks. Loading up at the storage unit will be by hand, using anyone I can find, including but not limited moving company people ($$$). However, at the home/shop end, I want to mainly use the tractor with the forks to take off, carry and move most of the above stuff.
Unfortunately, I don't have a bushhog or better yet, a box blade to counter balance the front end/fork loads. And since I don't have my tools or steel at the shop, I can't really make anything. All I have that's heavy and already at the shop is the FEL bucket. It's a quick disconnect/connect type bucket, flip two black levers and off it comes, same with putting on the Land Pride forks, pretty simple, but I don't know the actual name of the system.
Any way to install the bucket on the 3PH - safely? Any other ideas? I really really really don't want to have to handle those heavy benches or the 5 tons of steel again at the shop. But I don't want to use an unsafe and unbalanced tractor with forks either.
Help me Obi-TBN, you're my only hope!
