    I've read the specs and realize that the HL loader has more lift, breakout force etc. but was wondering what gives the HL loader these specs. Is there a difference in the construction of the arms on the HL vs. the C-50? Are the hydraulics different (bigger pistons, different valve)?

    Century Problems

    I've got some things I wanted to ask the Century owners if they have experienced. 1) While mowing some brush today I had my 3035 start free rolling. What I mean is that it felt like the tractor had shifted in to neutral or the clutch had been depressed. It rolled maybe 8 or 10 feet before it...
