Getting a loader on my 5525 cab

[ddivinia]

Well, the dealer came to get my 5525 today. I am adding a 542 SL with trash grapple. They have to put the 3rd valve on it and they got me the 542 with the accumlator on the main cylinder. I forget the name of the feature, but it makes it ride smoother.

I am hoping to have it back Friday. I have hundreds of down trees, etc that I need to move. Doing it from a cab with a trash grapple seems like the ticket.

I'll post pics as soon as I have them ready!

Nice rig. It kind of looks like my fathers 5300

What exactly is the accumulator for?

 

[ddivinia]

It cushions the up and down motion of the main cylinders. I saw a demo of two loaders hauling round bales. The one without it had the front wheels bouncing off the ground. The other one was smooth - neat stuff.
