Tractors and wood! Show your pics

How do you keep it from coming down though? I believe that in the past you have mentioned something on the loader pistons to keep them from retracting.
My 275 didn't have a detachable loader, so I would raise the bucket as high as it would go and lean it against a tree. The only way it could drop on me then was if the loader failed and the tree fell over, both at the same time.

If my loader is all way up it will take a long long time to come down, then there is a lockout button if needed then I also have 2x4 to keep loader up if Murphy is helping, but how long does it take to change filters, oh about 5 minutes........

I just push mine out with the loader.. hasn't let me down yet...

dang!! never should have said that!

The only thing lifting the front tires is the winch.
Spring 2019

^^^^^
My neighbors were working across the road with their Timberjack, and I had already warned them I may need a rescue.
Instead I ran a chain from the bucket to a tree, and pulled myself out that way.

There was a stream running through here long ago, which gradually filled in with sediment. Pre setter or later, who knows?
The front tires dropped into the old channel.

Dang, the one above always posts upside down. Same place as above, different view.

I can get to all of that with the loader on the ground!

Me to but if I have to service the coffee maker I'll put the loader all up and salute it.............

100 hr change?? Kubota of course!!

Probably all tractors are 100 hr oil change with 15w40. You must of also change the fuel filter with new O-rings to and cleaned or changed air filters.

I was in the same situation this past winter, the FEL got me out but it was getting deep fast, it was a close one.

I'm not getting that at all, I lift my FEL all way up I can get at most everything including battery, battery box, battery cables, batrry microwave battery coffee maker and filters. I'm sure my tractor would be more nimble to but useless I'm constantly using the FEL for something. Level ground, whats that??????????

Well you are right. I should have said it would have been harder and I would bump my head a lot and get a sore back. The day I worked on it was raining and in my low garage I can't lift the loader up out of the way like I see you can in your high bay garage/shop.

I also use my loader for lots of stuff and it is on there most of the time. But if I am going to spend 2 or 3 days mowing or jigging the trailer around on tight woods roads I take it off. I don't understand what level ground has to do with it ??

I haven't been stuck that bad but for sure the curl on the bucket sure has a lot of pull, I used the curl technique several times. Tractor without FEL is useless in my area unless it's a tractor with half tracks.......

Seems to me level ground is required accessory when hooking up tractor implements, garage floor is a ideal place til the garage floor is needed for 100 other things

 

[Gordon Gould]

There's that I guess.

I take my loader off about once a year, it does make servicing easier, and it allows me to clean and put a film of grease where the loader connects.

Once in a while I'll take a tillage job with that tractor, and I will pull the loader for that,[/img]

because I HATE doing tillage with a loader on!

That is a really good first pass tillage compared to what I am able to do. :thumbsup:
