FEL Makes Life Easier!!

[Mrwurm]

Success!! I put two hooks on the front of my zero turn mower with the open ends pointing down. Now, here's where the tractor comes in. I have two hooks welded towards the outer edges of the bucket to which I hook up a chain. The chain is long enough to hang down in a loop from the bucket. Now, I drive up to the mower and once the chain touches the front of the ZTR, I lift the FEL slowly to engage the chain in the hooks on the ZTR. I then powerwash the deck (being careful not to get under it or the FEL). When I'm done, I lower the FEL and back away. I think it's a pretty slick operation.

FEL, backhoe, electric winch... all wonderful things to have /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Sounds like a Kokak moment to me, Jerry!

Any chance we can get a peek?

 

[dhcmca]

Ironic?

I just did a similiar thing with my lawn tractor deck yesterday. My lawn tractor has a front bumber that allowed easy attachment of a loop of chain, and I used the FEL to lift the tractor to almost vertical position. It has never been so easy to pressure wash the mower deck and undercarriage than this! Wish I would have thought of that a year ago.

Harv, looks like I need that digital camera./w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

"Oh dear, Harv says I have to get a digital camera, OK?"

Almost vertical, eh?/w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif

Sounds like a challenge/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

I think I'm going to need extra ballast on the 3pt/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

jerry; if HARV thinks u need a digital camera, u better get one!!! i did, don't want to bring down the wrath of the HARV./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif harv is a pretty smart guy! or u could just take pics, with film camera, wait till u get the roll filled, take it in for developing and then post them. think HARV'S way is a good idea,/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

 

[Harv]

Okay, Jerry, let's try this --

Tell your wife that you're getting a digital camera (don't ask, tell her), and say that Harv said you had to.

If she goes along with it, then you may thank me profusely. If, on the other hand, she throws you out of the house, as wives are prone to do, then be sure she understands it was that other Harv (the wroughtn one), and focus all her wrath on him. /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Hey, I think I like having a second Harv around here.

Harv,

Please tell me I need a digital camera also ! I can just print out the forum and post it on the fridge !/w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

My brother just came over the other day and borrowed my B7500HSD w/fel and the point finish mower. I stoped over the next day. He wasn't there but his wife was. Talked to her and she said that she told him he was having to much fun using it. He was moving rocks.

Chuck -

We all know that in the future tractors will come standard with digital cameras. Those of us who already have our tractors have no choice but to retrofit them with the camera of our choice.

You heard it here on TBN.

I'm waiting for the first guy to mount a wireless video cam on his ROPS and send a real time streaming video to a post.

 

[Mrwurm]

Just bought 5 yards of mulch and 12 yards of topsoil.

There goes the digital camera/w3tcompact/icons/sad.gif

But wait!........ IT'S TRACTOR TIME!!/w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

BTW, I think Harv is setting me up. He's still mad because
I said I was an ugly baby/w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif/w3tcompact/icons/shocked.gif

Hey Harv, will you tell me that I need a new Cadillac?? Huh? Please? /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Harv,

I told my wife that you said we need a new digital camera to take some pictures of our new tractor and she said "When Muhammed hires you to be moderator and pays you a <font color=blue>six figure salary</font color=blue>, maybe we can afford one./w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

[Harv]

<font color=blue>When Muhammed hires you to be moderator and pays you a six figure salary</font color=blue>

Hmmm... /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif Didn't think anybody knew about the six-figure salary thing.

Betcha didn't know that all six figures are zero, either. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

Six figure salary! I'm only making 5 figures. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

 

[ChuckinVA]

Harv,
I can see it now..." I want the (fill in the blank) make/model tractor with the FEL and ( fill in the blank) resolution digital camera"/w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

 

[frank_f15]

MIKE: u only get 5 figures and HARV gets 6 because it cost more to live in californie./w3tcompact/icons/clever.gif

 

[MikePA]

Frank, thanks for clearing that up for me. A COLA explains it. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
