Can someone help me find a thread?

[JayC]

I looked for this thread for a while now. It was about using the FEL while mowing. It also talked about the stress on the frame cause by the loader or something like that. I could have swore it was about the JD 430 loader. I also could've swore I saw it in the JD forum. I seem to remember reading it in the last few weeks. I tried using the search feature to no avail. Maybe someone else may remember the thread? I don't remember making a reply in it, so I can't check my previous post list. I ran a search with FEL as keyword and show results in the last 3 months. I searched the Buying and Owning forums, and the JD Buying and Owning forums. I even checked the attachments forum. Those are the only places I can think of it being. Any help is appreciated!

What is the concern ??

 

[JayC]

Nothing, really. I was just looking for it.

Maybe it was Using a FEL while mowing on a hill ?

JayC,

Is this the post?

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( In my opinion, another stress load to the front end is driving over rough ground at a high speed. There is no suspension to absorb the shock loads on the front axle except the tires and with an FEL out front, it makes those shock loads much worse. When I'm mowing a field and have no need for the FEL, I remove it. To me it makes mowing a much more pleasant experience without that loader "banging" around out front, and I have a much reduced turning radius )</font>

I searched for "FEL" and "mowing" in the Attachments forum.

Jay that was in reference to a question I was asking. It turns out the same folks who said NOT to leave the FEL on, recommend leaving it on. Whar rhey really mean, is to leave it off for high speed lawn mowing, on for pasture mowing.

5 out of 5 Deere dealers surveyed insist there is NO Concern about leaving the loader on on my 4310. Some other brands don't seem to be as optimistic. Front axle strength is one of the main reasons I ended up looking at the product I chose...

BTW the last poster got the right thread... /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

Thanks, Harv, but that's not the one.

Bill & rockyridgefarm, I saw that thread when I was looking. I didn't think that was the one, though. Maybe I'm loosing my mind! /forums/images/graemlins/shocked.gif

OK I should have looked more closely, is it This thread ?

Look at Ken Sweets post (358789)

Again, I have been told that this isn't a problem by every Deere dealer who'd listen to me....

 

[JayC]

That's not it. But it did get me thinking. Did you start a thread about the LX6 and mention something in it about the FEL coming off?
