Notice JD FEL has a sticker that says “loader"

By the way. Some of you guys that are around JD’s a lot and didn’t know what I was referring to kinda proves my point....apparently it is subliminal. There are many pictures of them on TBN but didn’t want to single out any one pic because you all are so touchy (how dare anyone say anything about my beloved JD) I didn’t link to them.

The sticker on my FEL just says "JOHN DEERE 430."

Along the same lines, how many big high riding trucks have monster signs, decals, chrome badges, etc. proclaiming to the world that they have 4 wheel drive? Somehow, I think seeing a hulking solid axle and differential under the front might let you know that, but they feel it's good to tell you anyways.

Seriously, if the loader comes in a crate in pieces, someone along the transportation chain might need to see that it's a loader. And tractor neophytes can get easily confused by all the numbers.

Heck, even JD fanatics have problems keeping the numbering system straight. Wasn't there a thread or two here about people asking for a part for a lawn mower by model number and having the parts guy bring them something for a combine or similar item that had the same model designation?

I'd say it's worth a chuckle, but not to everyone.

Try again
Sorry can't see it that well, here is what is says..
1 "When you driving the tractor, be sure of locking the door otherwise windows could be broken".

2 "If you light the work-lamp in driving the tractor on the road at night, you may be in danger therefore put out light it".

3 "When you operating the windshied wiper, check the volumn if water is not enough, refill the water".

Kind of like "Caution Contents Hot" on take out coffee or my favorite "Do Not Spray In Eyes" on glass cleaner. The benefits of a "dumbed down" always "someone else at fault" society with sue happy tendencies. /forums/images/graemlins/cool.gif Of course that is just my opinion...

My favorites are the diagrams they post on the loader as well. What my wife can't shoot me out of the bucket to see how far I will fly? or throw a huge rock up in the air so it lands on me???

Oh Well, I can forgive John Deere for putting a Loader Decal on the Loader Frame. But I can't forgive Kubota for continuously putting useless (independant pivot-turn brakes) on the same side as their ridiculous treadle pedal thing they've got going on.

I mean really, now that is dumber than any sticker, (hmmm, lets keep putting brakes on the same side as our treadle pedal) it looks good to the average person that doesn't know much about tractors, til you need to use it..... dumb, dumb, dumb.....(Maybe, just maybe there is somebody out there who was born with 2 Right Legs!)... Good Idea, We'll Make all our Hydro's work for this 1 poor man)......

Thank God, my JD Pivot Pedals are useable, because I use them all of the time... something that a Kubota Hydro Man can't say, and never know the value of having them.

Or putting the word loader after FEL (Front End Loader) or the word machine after ATM (Automated Teller MAchine)

I agree, the brake on the right makes them useless, BUT it does allow for a clutch which personally I prefer, I never use turning brakes. Wish JD or KUB or someone would put brake AND clutch on the left.

Hey....think we could get these in green?
caution water on road during rain

I know those are real because I saw one on I-4 near Daytona once.
