"all the way".... Hard to say.
Do you have a way to measure pressure?
I plan to off my diverter for my grapple. It's just a QD attached to a gauge.

"All the way" was according to Kubota specs.. And no, I do not have a way to measure pressure, but what you are talking about would not be too difficult to do I don't imagine.

I have the L3940 also. Wish now I would have gone to the next size up for the bigger loader. But I was pushing the cost at the time as I was with a cab and backhoe.

I have to split my ton wood pellets to unload.

How much does your la724 loader lack of moving a ton pallet? Think the LA852 would do it?

Yeah, the M59 is an industrial class machine. I guess your 3240 is similar, but I think they put a smaller loader on those, which makes mine a bit weak by comparison. It needs checking and boosting, bottom line.

The Lxx40 series isn’t even close to the loader of the M59. The LA724 loader which is what my L3240 has lifted like 1800 pounds at the pins. The M59 is rated for 3900 pounds at the pins. The build of the machines isn’t even close either. The M59 has a way heavier frame on the loader, way heavier loader post ( also non removable), a way heavier front axel and noticeably heavier loader arms.

Not today, but last Saturday I moved a rock pile. It is left over from our house and shop build and needed to be moved to a different location about 400 yards away. Think I hauled right around 20 loads like this.

Not understanding the pellet thing, is that WAY cheaper than propane or natural gas?? I like my wood stove for the lack of heating bills, again I don't understand the pellets...

Pellets are more of a convenience play. The stoves have automated augers to stoke them. Load up a hopper and it just keeps feeding. Pellets can be stacked up in smaller space (but have to be stored in a dry place). Pellets are good for people who may not have their own wood lot for firewood or in areas without a lot of firewood around or for people who just purely want heat and don't want the fiddling with splits and processing wood.

Pellets are more expensive than cut and split firewood in my area, same with fire bricks which are another alternative fuel.

Cheapest would be if you have free wood to cut and process yourself, but there is your time and equipment to consider.

Me neither. I understand that natural gas isn’t available everywhere and propane cost more but I’m betting natural gas is cheaper than pellets with zero work involved and indefinite supply.

I've lived in the woods most of my life and as long as I have the energy and equipment , I'll harvest and burn wood.
The money saved is a secondary consideration; I just like doing wood.

I feel the same way. On the other hand pellets and wood are perceived to be "green" vs oil, coal, NG and other fuels extracted from the ground.
