How often do you take off your FEL?

[Henro]

I took mine off a lot the first year, but that was because I was finish mowing with the tractor (with a RFM).

Then I got a smaller tractor/MMM to use for mowing, and the loader has not been off since...

I take mine off when I mow, mostly keep it on the rest of the time. Now that winter's here or soon to be, I have the blower on the front. I've got it down so that I spend more time cleaning the hydraulic couplers than I do installing/removing the FEL.

I have never removed my loader. I use it as a great way to lower my center of gravity when brushhogging all my slopes. I bought a LT for finish mowing.

For me, its more like "How often do I put it on?".

Answer: Only when I am specifically going to use it.

Now that the house is done and our yard is in, I am thinking the loader will seldomly get used. MY JD4100 might be overkill for just mowing and plowing snow on my < 1 acre lot.

Every time I use it... or never, depending how you look at it! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Counting the last time... it would be NEVER.

Since I got the BH I haven't had the loader off the tractor. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif
