LS R4047

[Sublifer]

The Cub Cadet bucket hooks were there when I go it. I only added the receiver hitch. The receiver hitch got more use as a socket for my 4.5' square tube boom. It's useless for that on the LS because the roll-back is so gutless. I have lifted 300 pounds at the end of the boom with my Cub. I couldn't lift 50 pounds on that boom when I needed to with the LS.

Here are closeups of each bucket.

Okay, so it is just a larger hook that won't bind the chain...

You may want to have a dealer check your hydraulics. The curl feels a little weak to me too but I have no doubt that I could curl 300 lbs with it. It may depend somewhat on how long and heavy that boom is... Maybe they assembled your curl hydraulics with a hose backwards or a clog on one side...

Well, here is a pic of the Pats hitched for my tractor and a pic of my modified finish mower for ease of hooking and unhooking. After I hook up, I put the pins on the Pats links while in use.

Here is a pic of the FEL hitch plate that I made for my tractor.

My dad has something like that on the bucket of his NH. Uses it to move his camper around.

oldtoyboyd, did you ever get your diverter valve? What about the price for the 3rd set of rear remotes? Just wondering what dealers are charging for the 3rd set. I am now selling a diverter valve kit, has the valve and all the wiring and switch and some hydraulic fittings that fit into the valve body, $335. You would still need hoses and QDs to finish it out.

What thickness did you use for the quick attach plate?

I finally got around to filling my rear tires with the rimguard I have had for over a year

Where did you buy the rim guard? Do you remember how much it was per gallon? I didn't think you could just but it I didn't think dealers would sell it that way.

I like this idea I have been thinking of making one myself, but I would want something that was open so you could see the ball. I was looking at the plates from Titan that are open in the center I was thinking of welding a support across the top and then down the center from top to bottom with a receiver probably on the lower part that way the ball would be able to be seen from the seat. I was also looking at the trailer mover that Titan has that would just mount to my adjustable fork plate/bracket (also from Titan) that even seems easier man I must be getting old looking so hard at easier way too much! :thumbsu
