I was told my Lull will pick it's front end off the ground. Will your's?
It always nice to have an extra piece of equipment available.

Yes, it can come off the ground a pretty good piece, which at first i freaked, but now its routine, esp for me when using stump bucket. Xfaxman has some good pics of front end up!

Like this fake wheelie:

I used "dry" lubes for the telescoping boom wear pads on my telehandler. I was always of the opinion that grease or oil would attract and retain dirt/grit accelerating wear.

Since no one commented on the Fake Wheelie, here is the real picture:

I was compressing the cedar trees that I dropped on the brush pile. Right after I jumped out to take the picture I realized I might not be able to climb back in.

Took the picture, opened the door and was able to push up on the joystick, letting the front down.
