Thanks ED, it's always nice to see older machinery, especially stuff that is still in working condition. and it's not like I need a bigger tractor, I have the Case 1200 and our old CAT D6. Just like to see pics of the 20 and 60 series machines.

sirchancelor, thanks for the pictures. I think that you will be very happy with your choice. Now all you need is all the different implements that you need to use and a sun shade so that you don't get sunstroke. Keep us posted with how stuff works out for you and your new 8560. ;)

Sirchancelor,
Nice looking family, along with Y'alls new addition. Get your bucket reinforced ASAP. Because it is easier to reinforce a straight bucket compared to a bent one. You will bend it or at least twink it. Weld an angle on the upper lip, side plate reinforcements, along with chain hooks and a receiver hitch tube.
Your loader joystick sure looks like it is too high. Is it just the camera angle?
hugs, Brandi

Do you have any pictures of how you have done your bucket. Thanks for the suggestions.

I used 3/8" 2"x2" angle on the top and 3'8" plate on the sides. Hooks of your liking. the bucket with the teeth and 5 hooks is my 78" digging bucket for the 7520. The other bucket is a 60" bucket for my 3215. Both of these buckets have held up very well and have no bends in them with over 600 hours of use. :thumbsup: Oh, these modifications were done when the buckets were new so that they would stay that way. ;)

That looks pretty impressive. Thanks for the pictures

Here is a photo of my 84 inch bucket before I bent the upper lip and had a 3/8 inch angle welded on it.
The ball mount had to be removed, then reinstalled over the angle. I do need to add a hook or two near the ball mount, as a chain can pick up more in the center than on one corner. I have lifted one rear tire when chaining off the bucket end hook. The chain around the ball mount receiver tube did not lift the rear at all.
I have also cut the clevis end of the hook off since this photo was taken.
hugs, Brandi
