Re: front end coop FES

NICEEEEE.....

Were the brackets/mounts you have this all attached to already on the tractor for another implement or did you fabricate those as well? Oh and can you take pics of the the bracketry/mounts as well please (pivot point of arms for example). Mucho Thanx in advance.

Very cool! How about a short video of it in action?

:eek: Tried to search but found nothing. what is FES:confused::eek:

OHHHH.... is it suppose to be Frond End "S"coop and you accidentally mistyped the title of the thread? Am going to assume that is the case and change the Thread title since members can't edit their own title for some stupid reason in VBulletin. If I'm wrong then let me know and I'll change the title back to "Coop" instead of "Scoop"

same attach point as the snowplow I posted last week. this is simple.
light and strong. those 2 old car hood springs are plenty strong. just got done painting it. IMHO, those FEL overload these little tractors the minuet
u put it on the tractor, let alone put something in the bucket. I use the same attach point as the snowplow I posted last week. 10 minuets to change .

From the pics it looks awesome.

Appears only you can see the video though. The settings in your youtube account are apparently set to "Private" view only. For us to view them they must be set to "public" or something like that.

Oh, man, love that workbench! Looks like I-beam legs, laminated 6" wood top, and a 1/8" steel skin. Wow!

Also like the clever scoop, and the remote mechanical latch release! :D

Looking at the latch, I'm curious how it will stand up when you dig in solid ground, and especially when you curl to breakout. Looks like the latch isn't strong enough for that kind of work.

this is working awesome. about 10 lb pull on rope to dump.
the latch is plenty strong as I have about 200 loads of lifting
and breaking roots. the best part of this is IT,S IN FRONT.
much easier on my neck.

Not to pick, but iff'n it was mine, I'd bend that lever latch a little forward, to eliminate the possibility of bendin up that pretty sheet metal. Otherwise its as good a rig as I have seen...:D:D
