Looks to me like the Koyker 80 fits tighter on the F17. Probably should of went with the 80 instead of the 120 on my F16. But that was all the dealer could get for some reason. His fit up sheet showed the 120. Must of been outdated. Anyway if I had it to do over would of gone with the 80. Oh well, the 120 works for me, just might have been easier manuvering in and out amongst the trees. Right now I am clearing all of the Oaks that have been hit by the oak borer. Before they die and are useless. Selling what I can as pallet blocks the rest makes good firewood.

I was just quoted a 120 for my F16d. But, I agree, the 80 looks like a better fit. Maybe I'll go that route instead of the 120.

Thanks for posting the pic EFC. That really helps.

Well I went with the Koyker 125 and don't know how I've managed so long without an FEL!
It's heavy, thank goodness I have power steering and at times 4WD!!
I'm as happy as a pig in the preverbial!

Congrads on the loader purchase. You probably already realize, What did I do without one before? The power steering and 4WD is a plus with a loader. Don't have power steering on mine and sometimes with a load in it, well gives me a good upper body work out Your health getting any better?

I'm getting there Ronnie, still have stiff hands and right arm problems, but getting back into my chores here.
Be glad to see some rain!! I'm having to water my young pecan trees, the FEL is great carrying a 45 gallon barrel of water!

Good to hear your getting there. One of the many uses of a FEL, carrying water. And yes we do need some rain. Been two weeks since any at my place. Been doing some bushhogging on the place. And had two flat tires in three days. Good old ozark rocks and such.
