Everything looks good..Glad to see a few more 4530 pictures showing up occasionally. Curious how the bh does on the 4530 ? Any complaints or comment's on it ? I am only asking because I am thinking about pulling the trigger on one. If you haven't figured it out yet the 4530 is a beast of a machine..

Regard's

Thank you. I never thought I wanted one. I'm in the Timber a LOT. Friend of mine on here, James, said try one, you might be surprised. I knew it needed to be tough so it could stand having tree limbs dragged over it. I also added the two front posts for more ROPS protection so the canopy wouldn't collapse on me in case of a rollover. I'll admit, I like it when I'm caught away from the shed in a rain. I also like it when I'm brushcutting on a hot sunny day!!!

Great point regarding vibration dampening. I'm sure that will also help with abrasion/corrosion too.

the backhoe is must have. It is very strong and capable. I wish I would have got a thumb though. I say if you are considering it, do it. you wont regret it.

You people in the land of the soft soil make me envious. We have rocks hidden in our dirt and it is common to hook one edge of the bucket on an unmoveable boulder. Don't know about "tweaking the loader" by lifting an uneven load, but it is common to lift one rear wheel off the ground by hooking the bucket on a rock. I have even hooked the bucket under the float so I could remove a rear wheel in the field (when a branch took out the valve,) with no harm to the FEL.
