Well I'm just about to 28 hours and am fast becoming an expert at destruction. While picking up a piece of stump to get higher on the pile, I somehow bent the bottom part of the bucket (the part that opens up). It wasn't even that heavy, at least compared to some things I've attempted to lift. I had ahold of it in the middle which might not have been a good idea, though I've done it enough without a problem that I might have gotten lazy.
So now when the bucket is closed I've got about 2 inches of gap at the bend. It looks like the bent part of the bucket is double walled. It is a frontier 4-in-1 bucket. I've tried to push it down against a small stump, but it just lifts the tractor up without even so much a moving the bend. I should have taken a picture, but forgot.

While I'm asking novice questions, is it bad to try to lift something with the loader that is either too heavy, or almost too heavy? You know, you pull back on the stick and it really strains but it is almost lifting it? I try to avoid that because I just don't know, but sometimes I find myself being lazy and really working it. I don't want to break anything else, at least not for 35 more months when the payments go away.
