Get it at your dealer, takes about 10 minutes to put on. The fender is already stamped to accept it.

As I understand it, the reason for leaving it off is clearance issues with the joystick on the FEL. I dont get on the tractor from that side for safety reasons, but will say it really helps having it while in the seat working. Enjoy your new ride, you're gonna love it.

Thank you Texasboy!

I hope you love yours as much as I do mine. I wouldn't be without my forks as others have said.

I do love it,I installed the right hand grab rail,and I am waiting on a pair of bolt on bucket hooks,also waiting on a pair of Pat's easy change lifts. I filled the rear tires yesterday and it made a lot of difference in the way it pulls! I might have to get me a set of forks,I don't know how much I would use them,but I guess they would be handy to have.I also ordered a new 20' trailer 12000lb load limit.

With the way the bucket is designed I used weld on hooks with no extra support. I put them right up near the edge of the raised support plate on the top of the bucket. I know for a fact they will snap a light duty chain without deforming the bucket.

That is what I did. With the side plate I welded to, that hook will fail and break before it will peel up or distort anything.

Yep mine look like that but I don't have the hooks on the far outside. I also welded a hitch receiver tube in the center. Too high for most trailers but I can move goosenecks pretty easily and I have a couple hitches one with a large slip hook and one with a shackle that come in handy for lots of things.

I also like how that big flat top on the bucket is parallel to the bottom of the bucket so it is easy to tell when the bucket is level.
