I think it is 10 minutes that is the limit of Photo bucket by the clip. That was my 1st attempt using my camcorder.
I am really glad I went with a 66 inch box blade. Having it a little wider than the loader is great when your up against the foundation
The straw hat is a tractor must have LOL

I watched the whole video Charlie.
You sure know how to work that tractor! You whipped out that area in no time flat. Great combination showing off your tractor skills. Another I noticed is your fel is pretty quick.
Thanks for sharing.

LOL thanks Rob,
I Love the Boxblade in combination with the loader. They are a perfect match for the work I am doing hear. Today I did the other side of the pool were the Koi pond is going in. I want to have everything graded and seeded tomorrow. I will be starting the New deck next weekend. I want to get the lawns started so the dirt doesn't all wind up in the pool. I think I will take some more video tomorrow. I still haven't figured out how to take a longer video and break it into smaller pieces. I will though

Timber, did you ever try to scrape small layers off, working from a flat ground ? That's how i find my loader on the Zetor 5245 works best, with the 2 meter bucket. Probably HST gives you more control of wheelspin, not digging up everything by taking the pedal back to give the front loader a break, so it can lift the bucket a bit before you continue pushing.
I allways try to scrape off a layer thin enough so that my wheels dont spin, so i get max. grip working from flat ground.
Is there a noticable difference of bucket with teeth, vs. without teeth ? I am thinking of welding some leaf springs on my bucket, at the company i work, we also do full air suspension conversions to light commercial vehicles so we've got lots of leaf springs to scrap... spring steel is allmost as wear resistant as manganese. Just for me, old leaf springs are allmost free !

Yes the tooth bar makes a huge difference digging into the ground. If I didn't have the tooth bar I would have to do it the way you describe. The teeth do pull the bucket down anyway. I find curling the bucket is the way to dig with it. I can move quite a bit of material in a short time using this method and the box blade takes care of all my back dragging. I also find that with a loader full of material the the box blade works much better with the 4 wheel drive. Traction and all. I have always been a big fan of the tooth bar. I think if you are going to weld a tooth bar up take a piece of 3 inch X 3/8s stock the with of your loader and weld you teeth to that. Tack it into the bucket on the back side and bolt it through the bottom. Then if you need to take it out for some reason you can just wash the bolts and snap the welds. It will also strengthen the cutting edge quite a bit

Timber, A picture is worth a thousand words. Nice Video. Thanks for taking the time to film your FEL and Box. I have been wanting to see just what it does and now I now. Great Job.
