New Loader and a trip to Branson

yes, the valve stays with the tractor. there is a bracket included that bolts to the right side main mount, and the valve is bolted to that bracket.

the top of the main mount has a circular cradle, and there is a reinforced through hole in the mount about 12" below the cradle. the loader sits on/in the cradle, and a 1 1/4" diameter pin goes in the through hole to connect the loader to the frame. you can see the brass colored pin about 1/3 of the way down the frame arm in my first post.

mattellis2 - did you ever get full specs on the bl25s? I was wondering because when they mounted the oversize tires on my tractor, they noticed that the loader stands will contact the front tires when the loader is placed all the way down. I have a few options:

1. Change to a bl25s loader (it has more reach at ground level) and get a 3rd function remote installed later
2. Change to smaller tires (really like the big tires though)
3. Remove the loader stands while the loader is on the tractor

I'm leaning toward option #3 because the loader will likely stay on the tractor most of the time, but it would be nice to have comparison specs for the bl25s.

Thanks
