Very nice.

Why no top link? I like to keep my real loose, but still have enough there to pick up the mower if I need to.

I have found most of the rocks that I've hit... and removed them (I don't need to lift the mower much). But for some reason this mower has knock out a couple of top link pins (never to be seen again). So instead of loosing the pins, I decided not to hook it up and I like it... I'll take a photo of what happen when the top pin gets knocked out...

Top link damage when a pin gets knocked out...

Height of the mower without toplink... can clear rocks and stumps that I have.

She's done!!! Dog inspecting her work...

This is the first time I mowed without the loader. Also, want to see if it was much of a problem unhooking the loader with the grapple... and I can say it was very easy to do. We will see about hooking it back up :eek::thumbsup: but I think it will be fine.

As for mowing without the loader.... :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup: It was much faster and more stable without the loader. I was amazed at what taking off 900 pounds could do!!! and really wonder if this could handle a 6 foot brush hog?

You bet it is...that really lowers the center of gravity!

One thing I noticed in some of the pictures is what I think are the loader hoses coiled up above the right mast. Is that what they are?
