My FEL build with QA bucket

Well here it is. Been working at this since last fall. Still have some finishing touches to do. QA forks and rear counterweight are next. Click link below for pics.

Nice job!
What happened to the ROPS-did it fall off
What are you using for counterweight on the rear?

Very nice job... It really looks good on it!

Like Kennyd said, You will need some weight on the rear...OR.. you might do an "endo"

I did one once when i had my backhoe off, and i was moving some dirt for my wife in the garden... and had to raise my bucket a little high, but i had my ROPS up & my belt on.

Great build

Great looking job! That ironworker must make your projects much easier, where did you get yours?

Excellent work, great pictures. I like the custom blade guard lifter on the mower deck.

Thanks everyone for your great comments. I removed the ROPS because I was hitting some tree branches while mowing. My property is pretty flat. Now with the FEL I may reconsider putting it back on.
Yes this ironworker is a wonderful machine. It has basically paid for itself from this FEL project. It was a trade in at a dealer.
Yes I do plan on adding ballast weight at the back as well as either filling the front ties with foam or increasing the plies and strength of them. Next is the a set of forks. Already have the forks, just need to construct the frame.

Nice work Scarlo. Any more pics to post on here? Would like to see more since my computer gives up loading pics half way down the page.
What do you have left to do?
