No seat time except for starting it up, thought twice before pulling out, shut it back down...... No pressing tasks to be done in 97° temps.... tomorrow morning will be better....

I was soooo sick of having the loader on my rotary cutting tractor, I FINALLY quit complaining and took it off!
It's just soooo much better to operate now, without that PITA loader sticking out there in my way!

Doesn't look like it was too hard to do it. It was one of those tasks that we choose to procrastinate forever rather than just be done with it?I was soooo sick of having the loader on my rotary cutting tractor, I FINALLY quit complaining and took it off!

That's true, but that loader had never been off that tractor since new, and I wasn't sure just how much fun THAT was going to be! lolDoesn't look like it was too hard to do it. It was one of those tasks that we choose to procrastinate forever rather than just be done with it?
In the past, I've seen them get rust in places that made them a pain to remove.

It was a long time before I dared to take mine off too. But once I did and saw how much it improved things operating in the woods I now take it off often. After a couple times it's a 5 minute job.

Same with my ALO loaders, they come off in minutes, but I bought this tractor used from someone I knew, so I knew he never took the loader off from new. I've seen both rust and thick paint make them come off a bit hard the first time.
AND to tell the "rest of the story", I've been thinking of picking up another tractor to use for rotary cutting, I just haven't found the exact one I want. I just decided to take the time to remove the loader on this one to see if that would cure the urge! lol
