Just Digging

( ...I ordered the TLB and did not pick up delivery until the entire unit was there.... including BH. It still took 2 months
) Don, I don't think I ever knew that. I thought you just bought it and had it right away. Guess I don't feel as bad as I did. John

Dave, I don't think it would matter how many hours, as I believe Don was saying that he was pushing it way too hard trying to get it to lift more. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I think it was operator failure, not equipment, and Don's warranty ran out a long time ago! LOL, John

Actually, it was both, sorta... The controller was not put together correctly at the factory. I plan on doing a replacement pictorial of it today. (I bet your excited with anticipation to see that, LOL) And you'll see what I mean... I hope.

I saw in your pics that you have on turf tires. How is the traction. I'm somewhat torn on what to get. I will be driving on my lawn quite a bit and would hate to dig it up with R4s but don't want to be limited by the turfs.

Actually my turfs have turned out nicely, I too drive alot on my lawn and am glad I got turfs, but the R-4's look kewl, lol. If it's wet turfs will tear up the lawn as well as R-4's but I usally don't work in the wet stuff, however I have gotten stuck once or twice but my FEL or BH gets me out with ease. Tuff choice, bnut if I had to do over again I would get turf's for my particular situtation, which is mostly lawn.

Dewave,
Looking forward to your pictures. Please don't show any hydraulic fluid. /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif I could faint and hit my head on the desk. Although that might just knock some sense into me. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
