FEL is HERE!

[MrP]

Well, not here. I'm stuck a work and my wife just called. The tractor has been delivered and "the FEL looks great" (her words).

I can't leave early today because I have an all afternoon meeting with my Boss... /w3tcompact/icons/frown.gif

I'll post some pics tomorrow.

Congrads.... with that tractor a FEL will make it a workhorse. Cant wait to see your pictures.

I am still planning to post pictures, but I am currently over whelmed with wedding plans. how about a B2410 as a wedding present to myself .

 

[MrP]

Sorry it took so long to get the pics. I just got the dang blasted camera to work again.

My Bucket Hooks.

A couple of points:
1) your new FEL appears to have been used. I know this because the bucket is dirty, you'd better send it back and have them deliver one that has not been used. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

2) you mounted the bucket hooks inboard on the bucket. Is that going to bend the bucket if you chain up a big load? The guy that but mine on attached them at the edges to keep from bending the bucket and when he put the one on in the center, he put a piece of angle under it to give it a good base to mount to. What do you think?

Very, very nice. I am sure you'll find more use out of that sweet machine now.
If you have some time, you can come on down to my neck of the woods and I'll put you to work...../w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

That looks like a tractor now.... But you also need the tooth bar. tell Jeremy that should be your bonus for hooking me up with him.

Enjoy it all..... BTW, I need to get a digital camera or borrow my buddies so I can also post some pictures. But with the help of my B2410, we are really making progress... Now my wife and I can see our friendly fox pack out hunting in our back yard.

Jazz,

I do have a toothbar and bucket forks as well. I remove the tooth bar for turning the manure pile. I did too much damage to the ground around the pile with the teeth. Glad to hear that your 2410 is treating you well. I look forward to seeing the pictures.

As far as the bucket hooks are concerned, they were added by the dealer at no charge. He put them in line with the lifting arms for strength. They seem to know what their doing, so I expect to have little trouble.

What was I thinking.... It is Mr P of course....

FYI got my wife to mow a section of the yard yesterday and she is feeling comfortable with the machine... which is real good news for me.

I may have to drive down and get some of that manure from you one of these days..

Best Regards..

Jazz,

Any time you want it... It's yours.

MRP are my initials and somewhat my nickname. It's not any formal Mr P. Mike works just fine.

Anyway, back to the manure, we produce anywhere from 16 to 20 tons per year. At the moment my spreader is dead. So, I have quite a pile just composting. I'll be happy to load a couple tons in your pickup or convertable. /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Great news on your wife being comforable with the tractor. My wife tried the FEL and scared herself silly. So, more seat time for me!
