Thanks!
At the front of the cage there is a plate on the top of the factory loader frame on each side with a hole in the center. Those plates are what the original cross brace for the loader frame was bolted to. I welded a 1/4" thick plate, that aligns with the those existing loader frame...
I did something similar. I purchased a 40x50 full steel building including the internal framework and then used the manufacturer's blueprints to create a 3D model of the building in AutoCad. Believe it or not, it includes every nut and bolt. I used that to inventory all of the materials when...
I'm going to echo what lots of others have said here. Unless you plan to earn a living by farming that land I don't see the point in clearing every inch of it. The loss of wooded habitat is one of the main contributors to the extinction of many species of wildlife. The better plan IMO would be...
Thanks.
The framework is bolted to the ROPS and the tops of the rear fenders in back and to the homemade roll cage in the front. The cage is also bolted to the top of the loader frame. Using steel angle for the framework and bolting all of that together also adds its own level of rigidity.
It's that flexible. I also had to add braces on the door panels because of the flexibility but also to aide in bending those in at the bottom to better align with the floor pan on each side. The internal bracing also gave me a place to solidly attach a u-bolt to use as a grab handle when closing...
I finally decided to add a cab on my 1996 L2900 Kubota tractor. Getting tired of dealing with nasty winter weather when plowing my 1/4 mile long lane. I did look at pre-fab'd canopies and soft cab enclosures that drape over a canopy but decided to build my own. Not only were those pre-fab'd...
