How well does the Box Blade work

[MossRoad]

I like that; "PT Pucker", haha. Unfortunately, my computer has issues trying to do Realplayer, so I didn't get to see the video, but I'll keep that stuff in mind. I imagine it will take a while to get the feel of this machine when picking stuff.

If you right click that link, you can 'save as' and save it to your computer. Then open it with Windows Media Player.

Also, driving backwards with a heavy load works really well. If you drive forward and it tips nose down, the tractor may try to drive the bucket or forks into the ground and then up over the top of the FEL arms. If you are driving backwards and it tips nose down, it just acts like a skidding wheelie bar and you keep going.

Thanks pony tug, I'm always up for helpful advise.

General advice on heavy loads:
Go slow, and low.

If you are moving at .2mph and it starts to tip, you will have lots of time to take corrective actions, e.g. straighten out, drop the load...I've put more than a few loads down, thought about it, and tried again. No harm done.

When I have those one off, biggies, my PT is in low throttle, creep speeds. There may be better ways, but I'm not that coordinated and it works for me.

All the best,

Peter
