Just some pictures of my tractor

[EddieWalker]

I got so scared backing down my ramps that I would back up the trailer every time I moved it and then drove down them going forward, where I felt I could see where I was going. That was over ten years ago, and now I just don't move my tractor anywhere, anymore.

Great pictures! How do you like the shuttle shift?

It works pretty well, could be a bit smoother in its operation, but overall I am satisfied with it and enjoy operating it.

Backing up hills (and ramps) and going forward when going down is safer in my opinion. I feel in better control.

Good lookin' Tractor and trailer. Not scared of ramps because I don't have a trailer. Why? Because the wife said the tractor is not leaving the property. Sigh!

Do you want to add reinforcement plates under the hooks now, or after they bend you bucket lip? I added a 2x2x1/4 inch angle under my bucket lip the full 84 inch span and added 3/8 inch plates on both sides of the thin Mahindra bucket.

But I added the angle after I bent my upper lip. Also, pulling heavy objects from one side of the bucket can tip the opposite rear wheel up off the ground. I have a receiver hitch on top of my bucket in the middle to move my gooseneck around. After tipping a wheel up pulling from the bucket side, I wrapped the chain around the receiver hitch and no tipping.

Also, lifting or pulling too much weight not on centerline can tweet a loader arm. Don't ask me how I know this.

The top of the bucket on my tractor is reinforced with heavy tubing from the factory. It is very stout and there is no need for additional reinforcement.

Factory tubing on the lip. Awesome!
