Anyone have a lifting/rigging/strapping for dummies primer video they can point me at? I can piece all this together but, id rather watch someone who knows the what the hell theyre doing walk me through the basics.

Yeah whoops, forgot to provide details. Its a lx2620 with stock kubota rear hydraulics and top and tilt. It sounds like short of a permanent adjustment on the flow rate, im just gonna have to get used to it. Thanks all.

I rented pallet forks to unload something and, wow, thats not like running a fork lift. I could barely touch the curl without sending the load bouncing off the end of the forks. Way faster than I am on the controls. Any way of mitigating that? I noticed this too on the tilt side of my top and...

No rock was needed, so far. Im surprised how much i was able to pull up, even without the rippers. I think im going to try just that. If i can find a way to dig the remaining stump remaining in the ground, i might be able to just make it work. Hoping.

Thanks :sneaky:

Update: I think I can claim success. Im not sure how it will hold up but its a huge improvement. We’ll see how it does after a few rain storms (whenever they come) and some traffic. Didnt use the rippers as I wanted to leave as many of the larger stones where they were, and so far im glad i...

I think this is what I will try. Hoping you are right about the gravel.

This sounds like a great strategy. Very useful. Thank you.

Encouraging to hear this. Im trying to watch, but I am a pessimist. Thank you.

This seems entirely reasonable. Im not sure i can get away without more gravel, but im hoping you are right.

I anticipate learning a few expensive lessons for sure. Pictures dont quite capture the ruts and valleys in the road, but i take your point, ive seen worse than what i have. I made the gamble of buying a front wheel drive commuter car this year, and the snow stacks up quickly with the wind. Im...

Our gravel road is rutted and needs fixing. I have a lx2620 with a box blade and am ready to tackle it, but I need some advice. Pictures below dont quite capture the grade/slope issue but hopefully you can make out what im seeing. On one side of the drive is a fence, the other side drops off...

Similar issue on my lx2620. I just assumed its the best you can get, but if theres a way to slow things down, i might give it a try.

I believe you are right. I hadnt noticed that on the diagram TheOldHokie posted. Good spot!

They are 3/8" hoses, for the record. I believe this issue is resolved. Fingers crossed I dont find a way to unresolve it.
