    Loader  Torqued loader torque tube

    While spreading shale when the track loader was down, one side of my tooth bucket jumped off the quick detach. I wasn’t quick enough on the clutch and the force immediately twisted the tube that separates the two side of the quick detach. Reading through the forums it looks like this is...
