Plumbing on the inside doesn't get torn off as easily. But these days with DPF it can get hot up next to the hood. So they moved things outside the loader arms. Easier to mess with outside though.

Control valves leak down over time. But if you unplug the QDs, unless they are leaking oil externally somewhere an unplugged cylinder won't leak down. When I put on my snowblower, it goes on for 4+ months. I don't have any noticable leak down. When connected my TNT cylinders leak down a lot due...

The L4760 & higher have a bigger front axle. My L4060 & smaller have the smaller front axle & hence limited to the smaller loader. As it is I can work the front axle pretty hard with that loader. The back end will stay on the ground, unlike my old L3200.even with lots of ballast the old L3200...

I had a 2014 F350 shorted SRW. Pull a 14.5k "5th wheel" (now gooseneck) 35' toy hauler and a 22' bumper pull tilting deck trailer. 4k of trailer & 6k of tractor & implements on it, so usually 10k. 2.5k lbs of pin weight on the gooseneck, 800-1.4k on the Weighsafe bumper pull hitch depending on...

I unplug my top link when using my snowblower. Have 3 remotes, generally TnT + 1 spare. Blower has hydraulic rotate & deflector tilt on the chute, so needs 2. You really don't need TnT for a blower. It works fine as long as I level the top link properly so the blower sits level before...

I have front chains for the R4s on my L4060hstc. It's been a few seasons since I bothered putting them on. They definitely help & increase my plow capacity. But apparently not enough for me to bother putting them on of the hassle of maintaining them. Not sure if rears would fit or not. I was...

See those auction special tripples heading south on I25 through Denver occasionally too. I always stay well away as most look to be wrecked & not in good shape. I doubt the brakes are up to the task of stopping the other 2 under good circumstances, much less emergencies.

On an open center hydraulic machine like a CUT you generally can only get 1 function to work at a time. The exception to this would be lift & curl on the loader as they have some special plumbing in the valve block. If you want to use a red function, lift the 3 or or something, things get slow...

Yup, those type of hooks are what you should be using if it has a suspension. They stay on, even if some slack develops.

Part of the reason I replaced it with a L4060hstc. Not that I've really moved any bales in the 6-7 years I've had the new machine.

I've got the 2" & 1" versions of Amazon.com. Basically a seatbelt like retractor built into a normal ratchet strap. Been pretty happy with them. The ratchet only goes 90 degrees instead of the normal 180. Straps are a little shorter, but that's fine for my uses. They also have clips on the...

Peruzzo makes what is basically a hydraulically powered weed eater head that hangs off the side of the flail mower. For trimming fence lines. I don't remember if it was self powered with a hydraulic pump off the flail gearbox or ran off the tractor hydraulics. At any rate it was $1-2k 5 odd...

URL in that old video no longer works. Ratchet Strap | Wrap A Doodle Doo | United States seems to be where they are at now. $40 for 2.

I cut around 5-6" high for better grass health. I deal with raised tire tracks a lot. Not worth it to mow fields & pastures low enough to get rid of the tracks.

More likely they are relying on the battery to buffer the PWM output from the controller. You can run a car without a battery, at least older ones. But that is really hard on the voltage regulator & diodes. If you have 2 controllers outputting exactly 12v both would push equal amperage to the...
