The Self Leveling spoils you.

What is your beef with the mechanical self leveling loader? My hydraulic self leveling loader on the 110 tlb seems to work well.

I picked up the tractor yesterday. It is an open station. I got to cut with it for about 2 hours and what a joy to operate. I mostly do bucket work so I opted for the 400x loader so I do not have to keep correcting. Time will tell. I need to brush hog this weekend so the ehydro will be a pleasure compared to the gear tranny of my 990 because of where I have to cut. I will post some pics later today hopefully.

I would buy a hydraulic one - can turn it on and off.

Problem with mechanical one - can't roll the bucket as far. That can be a real pain at time - limited motion.

You will get used to the loader in no time. The valve will be a little stiff but the more you use it - it will be all good.

e-hydro rocks, but doing larger mowing jobs or raking hay - you will want to use the cruise control.

Post those pics!
