It is August so I have started moving my wood for '26/'27 that has been split since May into the wood shed. Use the old reliable L3010 to do it a little at a time while I have some shade. gg

On my M5640 I made a lever that clamps onto the 3ph control lever at the operator station and extends out the back so that I can raise and lower the 3ph from the back. The linkage is all mechanical, When I am standing on the ground where I can reach the OEM lever I can't see the 3ph over the...

It's been too hot in my book to do much in the woods but I did managed to clear couple blow downs from across wood trails this morning. A small job even for the L3010. I winched out a small fir in two pieces. Then I dragged them to a brush pile just down the trail and added them to it...

^^^^^^ Good idea on the blow gun access holes chim (y) I will steal that one. gg

Me too gg

Pretty good load of firewood on your B and homemade forks (y) gg

The new 3rd function switches on the loader control handle for electric valves are great. I have one on the M5640. But if you look close you will see that I made the control lever for mechanical 3rd function valve on the old L3010 so that I can control the FEL and the grapple with one hand...

I have the same tractor and loader. Back in 2011 I added a mechanical 3rd function valve for the bucket grapple I have on it. I posted the project on the another tractor forum back then. Here is a link to it...

To add to the above ^^^^ If you go with the cross-draw-bar you use a tractor hook with it also available at TSC. Or you can put it on your lower draw bar. gg

Like others have said - it is easier and safer if you can get the end of the log off the ground. Do you have an implement with a grab hook on it. Or you could bolt one on (Ken's Bolt on Hooks) maybe or weld one on. Like a box blade or rear blade. You could also get a cross-draw-bar at TSC and...

Get that winch on. Nothing to loose and everything to gain. What do you have for a winch ? gg

Yes, I have light chains on the shaft covers. There is a hole in the hinged guard that is over the top of the pto output shaft area that the chain snaps into. gg

My TnT hoses were looped like yours. They were fine with the rear blade and landplane but when I put on the winch it would crush the loops when I lifted it if I didn't extend the TL first before lifting. After I forgot enough times I cracked a hose open by bending it to tight. After that I...

^^^^^^ That is the best thing to do. But just a wild guess it might be a engine side cowl vibrating ??? gg
