Same here (regarding the FEL).

And regarding the front SSQA plow, you can make one for pretty dang cheap. I haven't started the thread yet, but I picked up a used western plow (just the plow, no mount or A-frame) for about $150... Bought a SSQA plate for about $125... And maybe have another $50 in metal fab & paint. Haven't added hydraulics yet, but even still, that wouldn't add more than $150 (not counting hoses). If you can do your own welding, it's pretty inexpensive.

With the price of the Western 9' plow, SSQA plate, paint, skid shoes, Etc. I probably have $400 to $500 in my front blade setup.

Beats me. I have about $3100 into my 8' Hiniker.

Nothing was on crags list all spring. I looked, but wanted a competed plowing option available for this winter ready to go and my tractor was delivered 6 weeks late in late June, complicating my fabrication and building plans.

2015, I hope to get more done!

Maybe.

So long as I sell my city house!

You need two hydraulic lines up front on your loader.

The least expensive thing to do it run lines off of one of your rear remotes under the chassis and then up along the loader bracket, then down the loader to the front in order to control.

Thanks Eric. also appreciate the input from everyone on the subject. I notice a concern re side stresses on loader arms but also I know Vince has been successfully at this thing awhile. Anybody ever have any issue with that ? Thanks again.

I tripped over a video I didn't upload at the local Muni in Nevis, MN. Since I finally retired my iPhone 4 in favor for a new iPhone 6, this is the last of the iPhone 4 videos. The new iPhone 6 has a way better camera, and that was my biggest reason to upgrade. Anyway, my loader video from the first day my tractor landed on my new parcel.

Man, I like the sound, or lack there of, of that tractor. The throttle tied into the pedals makes a huge difference and the tier IV engine seems much quieter than mine. I generally find my cab quite peaceful and enjoy working with the radio on, but when the engine's cranked to rated RPM speed for the blower or long road travel, you need to turn that radio up a fair bit and it's nowhere near as peaceful.

Hah. I'm wearing ear plugs and my radio is at level 10 (I don't know what it tops out at). On the other hand, despite turbine noise, machine guns, explosives, motorcycling, and 2/55 air growing up, I have super sensitive hearing. I hear mice. Really.

Nice picture Eric.

How about a seasonal one with some snow on the ground too ?

That was quick !

Hope that empty background doesn't mean you cut down ALL the trees with your Kioti
