you might be a redneck if --

-- you use your bucket-loader for almost everything -- !!

yup, it worked -- !!

Why not. I paid for that muscle now I use anyway I can. Even used it as a cooler for a party. Now thats rednecking it

 

[cal1]

That just smart! Seems like most of the redneck thinking ideas are simply thinking "out of the box." A concept encouraged at most major corporations. They just make fun of folks that try it outside of that enviorment.

Now let me tell you about how in the early 80's I velcroed a wind up big ben clock to my car dash... :laughing: Too poor to afford a real digital clock for my car.

We used my bucket to pick apples this year. My son went to college and neither my wife or I wanted to climb the tree.

I used my M series and loader to push/pull out a big rig that got stuck in a field delivering my friend's 70' mobile home at the deer camp. Does that count as redneck?

 

[MIKE R]

Making use of what you got. Nothing wrong with that?? Saves manual labor and using the tractor and its more fun.

 

[JimP]

Not redneck at all - thats why we bought loaders. Got to try using the bucket as a cooler next summer.

You will never realize how useful a loader is until you get one and then suddenly all those jobs you have been putting off because they are too hard are now fun!
Yesterday, I was beating the dirt out of a cedar stump/root mass like it was a feather with the loader, and was pointing downhill and wanted to go ahead and load it onto the bucket, so I got off and figured I could man-handle it into the bucket. I could not even budge it by hand. I chained it to the hooks. and took off with it hanging on the lip of the bucket. What is so easy to move around with hydraulics can be a real "bear" with bare hands. For those who don't have loaders, you don't know what you are missing. Loaders are THE most use-full implement on a tractor.

Using the loader for just about everything is to be expected. Hauling your mower in the back of your SUV. Now that might be a different matter!!!! LOL

What redneck? It's a loader and he's using it to load something. Makes perfect sense to me...

I like it!!! I use my FEL for all kinds of unintened things...Unloading a massive tool box for example.

Putting a Z-turn in the back of an SUV might just be a little red-neckish...It's all good though.

I hauled a 16x12 pressure treated deck (all of it) in the back of an S-10 Blazer once...So I shouldn't talk.

Right after I got my tractor my neighbors wife was having one of those craft parties while he was out of town. At the end one of the ladies backed her car off the driveway where the culvert was. My neighbor came and asked me to help because the rear tire was off the driveway and the car was sitting on the axle. I looked at it and told her I'd be right back. Got my tractor pulled up to the side and used the loader to lift the rear wheel level where she could pull forward and try again.

I wish I had gotten a picture. I did make sure I told my wife how useful our new tractor was.

I use mine to move my grill from the back porch to the garage or big garage depending on were we're cooking guess it's a grill and go tractor

View attachment 233849 I use mine as a desk in my garage!!!

Works great for mixing concrete. On another occasion, I've filled it with water and parked it near the bonfire in the backyard. At the end of the night it puts out the fire real quick!

In the back of an SUV, not that bad. They are classified as trucks in some states. Now if he had been trying to load it in the trunk of a car or even worse on top of the car...

My father-in-law, 87, doesn't get around to good any more but has to be out putzing around with a tractor all the time. He can't climb onto the tractor anymore so my brother-in-law puts him into the bucket of his L4330 and lifts him to the platform of the L3010. BIL wont let FIL use the L4330 because he can't use the clutch too well and has knocked out one gear of the smaller, older tractor already. I think this should qualify as redneck use.

 

[jchealey]

I just used the bucket of my backhoe to pick up and move a motor and transmission. Works pretty well to pull it out of a truck and stick it into the barn. Our loader has long been a workhorse. We are soon going to use it to pick up a carport.
