The BX2660 is up at the shop today, getting fitted

with a new LA243 FEL.

Feeling kind of excited, a bit like Christmas morning.

Planning to put in about 150 foot gravel drive extension, and the FEL will get the chore of spreading the road base.

Pictures to follow.

enjoy your new frontend loader.

did your tractor come plumbed?

i.e. were the controller and 4 quick-connects already on the tractor- or is the dealer doing the full job?

It came new (about 6 months ago) with the control lever and quick-connect manifold for the FEL.

I got the tractor back late yesterday, and I'll try to get a couple pictures later today. The dealer installed it, and I got it back with the FEL fully functional. I just need to practice taking it on and off because it will be off most of the time.

It is very easy to do.

Wow, to that video. I wouldn't want Messics ever running my tractor if that's how they treat a machine. :confused2:

From the video that was "Wow, way cool fast" and I don't want to race them. Loader is easy to both remove and install don't be afraid to lift the front tires on removal, that's how I know the pins are ready and easy to pull.
