FEL on TC30

Daryl · 04-23-2008, 12:51 PM

I bought a FEL for my tractor last spring because I thought I would be using it for driveway. Found a guy who will deliver and spread the gravel so I don't use it. I use my tractor for mowing and when I mow I take the FEl off and put it back on when finished. It is not a real problem but is aggravating. I have thought about trying to sell it but that will be more trouble I guess in taking all the mounts off. Thought about trading tractor also for newer one with out FEl.
My question is will it hurt it in any way if I just leave it off and is there anything I should do if I just leave it off.
Thanks

I've never taken the loader off my 2120 since 1987. No damage. I know a lot of people like taking the loaders off and on but I guess some people just have a lot of time on there hands. My 2120 is used for pretty much all purposes. And worked hard.

If you remove it; clean the QA's well and cap them ( male) Clean and plug the female fittings to prevent dirt from entering the QA's. If FEL will be off a long time, coat exposed cylinder rods with rust prevenitive (grease). All should be good.

Thanks. That is what I want to do. Take it off and leave it off for a while. I store my tractor inside but if take the loader off it would have to be outside. It has covers for the QA I keep them on all the time when it is off. Just not sure if it would damage it. I see loaders sitting outside all the time at dealers just did not know what they did to prevent damage to them.
thanks
