Fwiw, my wife was sold on the F450 the first time she had to brake in a hurry. Personally, I like the tight turns I can make although braking is of course important. My F450 is a 2010, btw. I've had it 13 years, and it's still completely solid. I'm glad you are enjoying the F450.

I'd consider taking the stump jumper and blades off. It might be a bit difficult, but faster than cutting it off by the piece. If you are talking midpoint mower, I'd take it off, flip it over and still take everything off. I've lifted my mower deck for my lawn mower and used the tractor to...

He's very artistic and can do a lot that I can't. I don't see that as dumb, but for sure, kind of oblivious to his surroundings. ;)

Mine is this one. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B008FC62Q6?ref_=ppx_hzsearch_conn_dt_b_fed_asin_title_17&th=1

I was going to build one, but then I found the trailers on Amazon with dual axles for less than I could build one for. I'm not sure how they sell them so cheap.

Some people are just really hard on equipment. I don't think this is fixable. At least, the people I know who are hard on equipment don't seem to learn from paying for the fixes. Fwiw, one of my brothers blew up the engine on pretty much every vehicle he ever drove for any time no matter who...

I don't remember if I posted this or not. Any way, here it is. Not quite 20 years old.

Center of the bucket. However, you might want to reinforce your bucket depending on what you plan to lift.

I agree with Botamon. My F450 is big to haul what I carry in it.

There are a few trailers on Amazon with single and double axles and atv tires.

It looks to me that there is a spacer in there, and it looks wider than mine that are the OEM spacers. If there is no spacer, the inside of the rear tire will be very close to the fender ... about an inch or a bit more.

Use a short length of chain with a hook to take up length. It's obviously easier to loosen compared to almost anything else once the load is lowered since you only need to take the chain out of the hook. For hooking to the load, I use a D-Ring with strap or chain depending on what I'm lifting.

Take a look at GP Outdoors on YouTube. He has a Cab LX2610 and does work in the woods, etc. https://www.youtube.com/@GPOutdoors

If you will plow your driveway, I'd go with a rear mount blade which is a lot cheaper and also use it for dirt work and ballast. If you have very much snow, it's handy to have a front bucket to move the snow out of the way once it piles up. Make sure you buy a wide enough rear blade to offset...

Have thought about using chain like this?
