Yes, I got it all back together. My dealer repaired the swing cylinder which was leaking due to paint overspray on the rods. I also tried the JB Weld repair trick on the bucket cylinder that I mashed up at so far it's holding, but I haven't used it much. The repair will at least reduce the leaking to s very slow drip. If it is too much, I might just swap the bucket cylinder with one of the stabilizer cylinders since they are the same. I figure the stabilizer is in the offending position much less that the bucket so it's the prefered place to have the problem.
A replacement rod and seal kit are about $125 plus labor I figure will bring the repair price to about $250. It's not that much, but $250 is $250, so I'll see how the repair holds up.
As for the BH, yes, I'm still happy with the choice, given that woods is the alternative for my tractor. The lower ground clearance, excessive rear overhang, and large size of the unmounted BH make the woods frame unacceptable for me. In my dreams of a 4610, I've been seeing a Bradco 511 or 609, which is a well designed frame mount with none of the woods disadvantages and all of the benefits of a frame. Thanks to Glennmac for the tip off on the Bradco. Unfortunately, they don't make a mounting kit for the 2910, but it is available for your 3010. I haven't priced the Bradcos, but I hear they are more expensive.
By the way, I've got water back in both my wells. You're still dry?
