Dang, I was looking at the first three pics, and I was wondering how the .... you moved so much dirt in so little time with your new toy , then I get to the 4th pic and see the excavator......


Ya I would say that there is plenty of mud there to get her nice n dirty
:thumbsup:

I spent the afternoon before the game cleaning out a stream bed that had silted over badly, and was now constently running over the banks, plus I got a lot of good soil mined from it for other projects

lilranch the little machine in pic couldn't reach middle of pond so as soon as that dirt is gone i'll have to rent one with more reach and dig middle out probably as much or more, thing is I could still be in shorts and tank at christmas doing this where I am

Very nice kit there!!! As much as I bargain shopped for my attachments, I can't deny it looks good having a matched set.

Front aux install looks great, like how it's on the 'easy side' of the pilot's seat. I'll have to measure that distance to see if it will work with my poor grapple that still has air in her veins. If so, I and might just shamelessly copy the whole thing.

Thanks for sharing and congrats on a great purchase!!!

Congrats on your new purchase! I've never owned your model machine, however have had an A300 at the farm for years now without a glitch. As far as you concern with your machine being used as a demo with the hours increasing and noticable wear to boot, I can feel my head getting hot just reading this. I believe this is completely unacceptable and would actually go so far as considering this kind of action being a deal breaker. # of hours effect resale value, not to mention "gouges" etc., etc.

here is a couple of pics on the front aux

Thanks for posting the pics on the front aux. I'm a bit puzzled on how the quick coupler mounting bracket is attached on the left side of the FEL. It appears that the stock grease pin was removed and a new longer one installed with the bracket welded to it?

Any chance you could add a few pictures on how the hoses are routed from the rear AUX to the FEL? I'm thinking of doing something similar.

I wonder if it's a part for the CT335 factory front aux.

Thanks for posting the additional pics. Though I must admit I'm even a little more confused. Is the front remote actually a third function instead of an Aux? It seems likes it might be given the wiring and solenoid attached to the FEL. Is there a button/switch used to activate it? Also what is the source for the hydraulic fluid? It looks like it might be in common with the curl function? It would be interesting if it was plumbed as a power beyond type configuration, although I'm not sure if the Bobcat FEL joystick spool supports that.
