YM2000 FEL

I have to agree with you. While I understand the idea behind the ROPS, we all have something called common sense, or at least I hope we all do. Tractors can only be made so safe and when that point is reached people have to use their brains.

Tractoring is fun, but we all need to think about what we're doing and protect ourselves.

The loader was already mounted when I bought it. When It stops raining I'll take a few pictures for you. Thursdays and Fridays are my days off. Hopefully by then.
It looks like a fairly easy installation. A crossmember under the belly with 4 bolts, and a "U" channel mounted to the front bumper. E.M.

I have 5 pictures that I'm going to attempt to attach.
While taking the pics I gave it a good look over.
It was definitely a bolt on installation. The mounting bosses are cast right into the frame and already tapped. There are only 2 hydraulic connections visible on the right hand side, under the throttle pedal area. As I said before this looks like a very simple installation.
You may need to save the files and play with the brightness and contrast to get a real good view. My camera was saving them dark. E.M.

Ok, the other 4 are too big to post. I'm going to have to manipulate them a little bit. I need to take the dogs to the kennel for the weekend, so I don't have time to do it now.
Rest assured that I haven't forgotten my promise to you.
I will finish this Sunday when I get back from my trip. E.M.

Just helped to install a Koyker 110 on a YM2000. Koyker makes a mount for this model of tractor.

Installation was a breeze. Complete in just a few hours.

Hi everybody, question I'm going to add a FEL to my 2610 (one day) will filling the rear tire not be enough weight. Robert

I don't believe it will be enough weight. I installed a FEL on my YM1700 2WD and have the rear tires filled. I still use my 5' box blade for the needed weight on the rear. You can use it without the blade, but it just feels more balanced with it.
