Nice mid size unit

 

That suck the front axel was dry. I’d question all the other maintenance items as well.

 

Leaf season has begun.

 

I’m wanna play!

 

Learned my lesson on using used parts. This starter isn’t much better than the one I took off. Time to get a new one

 

Most of us probably been there! Used parts is a no go for me

 

Fun thread. Somehow I’ve never seen it before. I’ve got a a fairly good size yard/ property so I’ve got this 26hp Mahindra cab tractor with heat for clearing my driveway (also have a bucket for it for summer). My yard is a bit over 4 acres of grass so this mower 72” makes it a 75 min job. I previous owned a Kubota ZG327 and I LOVE this Snapper Pro it’s surprisingly a much nicer (more powerful) Unit. Anyway here’s my contribution.

Bunch of us Helped a buddy out cutting trees and splitting...I’m beat. Perfect weather for such an event. Had to be about 4 cords ... that was our second trailer load which holds about 1 and a half cord. Another pile was being made as I had to leave.

 

2 log splitters, 5 chainsaws and a bunch of kids helping...was like a well oiled machine that kept going.

 

Someone asked me how much downpressure my GT loader had. Answer: All it's got.

That’s crazy awesome! And if I was following your build, this is all made by yourself?

 

It started life as a Swisher ATV bucket that I converted to hydraulic lift and curl but it was too light duty for me so I rebuilt the lift arms from scratch and moved the curl forward on the bucket to give me enough lift and dump height to dump in my dump cart. It'll lift >500lbs.

So I built the frame to mount it to the GT, added all the hydraulic valves and cylinders, built the lift arms, and modified the Swisher bucket heavily.

Here's some of its transformation. https://www.mytractorforum.com/showcase/cub-3240-loader-updated.22150/

 

Love the build.... counter weight needed?

 

I have 100lbs of weight lifting plates on each rear wheel I built adapters for and I hang my 100lb box blade on the rear and 200 more lbs of plate weights on it on the hydraulic sleeve hitch I also modified from a manual lift hitch.

 

Do you modify everything you get your hands on!! ;-)

 

Uhhh...yeah?

 

Lol I’d like to In some respect but always find myself helping others which leads me into no time for my projects! I’m ok with this as weather will get colder and I’ll then have time for “me”

 

Tractoring ;-)

 

Looks like the idea’s gettin’ some traction.

 

Beautiful day for such an event ;-)
