Just wondered what everyone thinks of this new product by W. R. Long. The name is a bit deceptive as it's not something intended to directly improve the "ride" of your tractor, but it dampens the movements of the FEL as you traverse over (uneven) ground. The end result I suppose is that it could reduce the jerky movements of the tractor as you drive it over rough terrain, and help it ride a bit smoother. Their main selling point though seems to be that it reduces the wear and tear on the loader's mechanical joints, and maybe reduces the metal fatigue as well.
I think the theory behind it is good, but it would be nice if they could show a side by side comparison of two identical tractors, one with the system and one without the system, driving over the same terrain. I'm not thinking of buying one, mind you, but the hydraulic dampening technique just peaks my interest a bit. The suggested retail price of the CR10 is $425 and the suggested retail price of the CR20 is $475, if you're interested. :thumbsup:
