For FEL I have 3 implements. Original forks & bucket
But snow blade is different story. Because it looks way better than YM original, that one I have ordered that one from Finland - Compact Tractor Snow Plow | HillTip SnowStriker™ Tractor snow plow
Finns will make it fit to YM unique FEL design. They were quite pissed, as YM didnt provide any drawings of FEL attaching points.
Frankly speaking I really dont understand, why FM is doing so. First - why to make unique FEL interface. And, ok, maybe for some reasons, just maybe, but why then make obstacles to those which are going to make attachments, for your system ??!!
Anyhow - dealer was very helpful with this. And they are going to make 3-rd function for FEL as well
At the end of the day - I will have 3 implements, all with YM "interface"
Wanted to have broom as well, but hydraulic oil flow is not enough to turn it, so brush is going to rear PTO

Frankly - FEL capacity is a bit of disappointment.
That chunk is only 2,4 m long. Aspen, which is light wood. OK, directly from stump, could be full with juices, but it is "winter cut" = should be pretty dry already
Maybe some weight on rear 3p will help. Guys - do you have any idea, how much would be optimal to put on the tail ?
Turf tires in that snow / ice are working very well, indeed
Didnt like joistick, little jerky to my taste. Please get me right - it is a kind of proportional, but I would like to have it more graduate (if that is the word).
Other things are super

Seats safety trigger is overly sensitive. Boy cant ride it alone. For him that is massive disappointment.
But I mean, I will not bridge that. At least for while.

From the photo, it looks like the FEL capacity is still unknown. There is a problem with a lack of weight on the rear of the tractor. That's common to any tractor.

Actually hydraulics started to struggle either. Both lifting and tilting. Only noise changed when joystick was pulled.

The backhoe makes a great counterweight, and I think the FEL is pretty capable for a machine of this size.
