That makes a very nice set-up. Thanks for the info ! gg

Nice job there ! Question on how it operates - It looks like you have one of your rear remotes feeding a 4 way diverter - right?? If so to operate you would select a diverter and then operate the rear remote valve. My question is what kind of switches do you have on the diverter valves ...

Not a stupid question at all because some valves do not hold very well at all. If my FEL moves, and I guess it probably does, the amount is not at all noticeable. I can leave the bucket or 3ph up on that tractor and for all intents and purposes they stay up for a long time. I have never...

Split some firewood yesterday. I use the 6' bucket on the M5640 to lift and hold a load at working height and within easy reach. gg

I like to use straps unless chains are clearly a better option. I have a pair of 4', 6', and a 9' that I use logging so they are on hand. They work good with a tooth bar or grapple. Happened to need a battery charge out on the landing today so took a picture. While talking straps - if you...

^^^^ Well over 1000 lbs probably closer to 1300 give or take.

Just to be clear - The frost doesn't push them up out of the road like that. I go along and tip them up with the tooth-bar then turn around and pick them out with the grapple. gg

Don't feel cheated !!! Our soil seems like it is 90% rock and we have deep frost in the winter. Our road was and old logging haul road which I have improved enough from year around use but the deep frost pushed up new rocks. Every spring as the frost comes out and the road settles back down I...

Yikes - good eyes !! gg

A grapple is not nearly as good as an excavator and thumb for rocks but I have pulled out a lot of rocks with my M5640 and FrostBite grapple - some pretty good ones. Even the L3010 and bucket grapple does a good job. Here's a short video of the M5640 pulling out a road rock gg

Did an engine oil change and 100 hr check-up/grease on the L3010 with 1900 hrs. Checked the fan belt and it felt like dry rot. Seemed to happen suddenly - was fine last time. So I ordered a new belt. I changed the front axle oil (80-90 gear oil) at 1800 hrs and checked that. It was almost a...

You do nice work. I would recommend or hire you in a heart beat ! gg

I'd be worried about a broken fan blade or a hole in the radiator with to much of that. gg

I cut a trailer load of firewood today. Removing junk and ill-formed trees. Ground is too soft for skidding in my book so I used the L3010 "forwarder". gg
