MF 1742 Not Happy With It

[LukeDuke30]

I have used a stump bucket, and hauled many loads of dirt/stumps and gravel with my 1734E with the L105E loader. Never any issues, even with digging out small stumps. I try to be cognizant of things outside the capacity of the loader but like others have said, it should be able to handle something out of the ordinary from time to time.

I spent a couple of weeks this spring building a rock wall with my 1734e, which involved prying up a lot of big rocks with the loader then hauling them in the bucket. No damage or torqued loader frame from this. The hydraulic relief valve kicks in before there is enough pressure to bend things.
I did get a set of clamp on forks recently that I used once to move a large stone, I had to be very careful, as I noticed that it put a lot of stress on the front of the loader bucket. I think that I will not be using them for too much of that sort of work, just stick to what I got them for - moving and stacking brush and tree limbs.
