The weather in NC was terrific this weekend in the high 60s. I got almost 4 hours of tractor time working on our gravel driveway and moving dirt around our construction site (new house). I spent a lot of time hooking up different implements and switching between bucket and forks.
It hit me that I have not removed the FEL in the 4 years that I have owned my TC35A. I just drop the bucket and park the tractor with the FEL attached. When I am doing jobs that requires just a 3PH implement and not the FEL bucket, I just leave the bucket off and drive it around with the FEL attached.
I know that it is extra weight on the front axles and probably isn't good for the long term life of my tractor, but it is much easier just to drop the bucket and leave the FEL attached.
Does anyone remove their FEL and install when needed or does everyone just drop the bucket like I have been doing?
