one tractor on lawn a lot better than 4 on lawn.

I spy with my little eye...a craftsman dump cart. I got one of them.

Yo D, I hated the pivoting back door on that cart, so I changed it...welded on some channel so that the door just slides off completely:

don't have pivot door on this, its slide up and out door. much like you made.
was the largest cart sold in this style back in 2006 or so, its pretty big. smaller carts used the swing door.

Mine's been slightly overfull by about the same mount for almost 2 years with no ill effects. Was at the bottom of the glass and added, does not take much to go from there to overfull. I can see the level when extend all the FEL cylinders.

yup, plus after I remove bucket a few times level will drop a touch.

The full level for the hydraulic fluid on a GC, is not critical.

if you overfill too much you can create a foaming issue. that ain't good.
1/2 qt....yeah not an issue
last time I serviced MY unit (no garage, level surface hard to find so I actually use levels 2ft and 4ft on tractor normally) I never noticed fill glass had been covered and I ended up adding extra gallon.
disconnect one loader line, connect hose from coupling to bucket. pull loader lever. it comes out pretty fast LOL

someone buying company 2010 cam superline 6CAM18FT tilt trailer. used GC to move it so truck can hook on fast.
moved the 7x14 enclosed trailer with owners personal items in it to better location. moved his GC1723TLB to better location.
7x14 twin cylinder CAM dump also sold but will be week before picked up, GC will move that too.
his 2019 dodge 2500HD cummins sitting on charger right now, sitting for months messes it up and the preheat takes a LOT of juice.
once he signs docs I take over payments of this.
not gonna get into details but if your bail conditions say don't get near anyone under 18....DON"T ******* DO IT!!!
cause you will lose everything.

twitched some very small poplars (4" diameter) out for neighbor for firewood as well as carried the 16" cut length stuff up to firepit for them. gotta cure for few months still.
oh yeah I also cut them as neighbors saw died.
4 buckets of 16" poplar carried up 300 feet to pit, average 30 logs per bucket.
once it dries will be good.
I hauled from woodline, neigbor cut (using my saw as his died) his kids loaded stuff into my bucket. easy peasy
