I think best for me is to borrow both tractor and 3PT PH digger when comes time to use it, or worst case just remove my fancy Quick Hitch for PH digger use.

Ya, it's a bit of welding, but not to bad. You need a hydraulic toplink to make it work. You do get down pressure for the first foot or 2 of the hole though, depending on the slope. The extra bracing means you can stack weight on top for extra down pressure too.

Still doesn't have reverse if you jam though. That and the only partial down force has me still looking for a hydraulic PHD. I can wait a bit for the right deal, at least up until I get my next paying PHD job.

Welding day.

We almost finished before it starting snowing again. I took rear chains of my little Max28 with R4 Tires and it was sliding all over the road to my freind's garage.
I pushed back the snow banks in is driveway as he did me a big favor welding. He is way better welder than I am.

I came back to my shop & ground off the weld spatter and gave it a light coat of Rattle can spray paint to keep it from rusting.

This thing should prove handy.

Nice, looks like a lot if extra roll back in there. That will eat up lift capacity, but allow you to curl a lot more. Really can't curl past vertical with most loader geometry at ground level. I'll probably add some if I ever build another.

I have over 2500 Lbs of lift capacity.

I'll loose a bit of lift height. I tend to use a bracket vs a hook for the top link, hence the desire for roll back.

Now we need some action shots.

With a box blade on the FEL, I found it easier to grade my driveway and the BB is way better at acting like a dozer blade than a bucket. Back dragging in float, the BB does a good imitation of a land plane.

I spread tons of snow to melt, dragging ;lots of gravel back where it should be.

With the Little Max28 and the RTV900, this afternoon we scraped up at least 10 tons of cow manure.

Everything including me smells cow poop and I just showered. I'll be getting the pressure washer out for the equipment.
