You also don't know that there are different types of QA skid steer mounts. I'm not really versed on this but I was warned. Let me know what you buy so I can get back on the stick and get one.

On the pricey part, the cost is only what you pay for the item, less it's potential resale price plus the lost opportunity cost of the money involved. When you consider the money saved with work performed, it actiually pays you to buy the item. Huh?

Tell your wife you only have the best--in tractors or women and she'll beg you to buy it.

Years ago I made the mistake and only made it once ... at a party I spouted off to a buddy ... I like my women tall and lean, blue eyed and blonde ... she put me in my spot by saying just how many women do you have?

Over the years she has mellowed out and can now take a joke .... a little one!!

Oops...

No harm done ... haven't had much play time. Transfered my GPS to it, transfered the bale monitor ... that piddly stuff takes time to get installed.

I got my coulter parts for the subsoiler I built a few weeks back so I'm trying to get them on and I need to fiqure a break away shear pin for the shanks.

Soil samples went in today ... time is running close to all that spring work.

Is there a float on the FEL?

Is there a float on the FEL?

Yes. Well, 99.9%---you have everything else.
Just push up--forward-- on the joystick and back up to double check.

I'll add that the float on my 5520 does a perfect job leveling the small gravel in my driveway and is better than a landscape rake.
I just tilt the bucket edge where I want it, which is only a slight angle, put in float and back up.

I'd be really surprised if it didn't, A: because most since the early 90's did, and B: because my previous model 5410 has float. Just keep pushing and it should click. Otherwise you may have a faulty control lever.

My other tractors have a definite "float" ... you can feel it go to that float ... still struggling with "float" on this one.

I installed by round baler monitor and today I asked the local dealer what that "plug" in adaptor was for (under the cig lighter) they sold me the pigtail to put the power to the bale monitor ... won't have to route wires to a power supply ... just plug it in.

Correct ... I have studied the front of this loader and really like the one I posted ... now I am designing in my mind one to build ... I know I can fabricate the combo JD/SSQA for my needs ... may be some time but I'll keep you posted.
