L3301 fel?

[melvinhatcher]

Is it ok to push a midsized car [emoji594] with my L3301 utilizing the fel’s quick attach adapter?

I got the same loader on my L and use it to push and pull a 95 f250 diesel out of the way to mow. Right or wrong i dont know, but havent had any issue.

I loop a big ratchet strap around the ball on the hitch to pull it back. Then get the bucket on the ball to push it forward.

Put an old tire in between the loader and the car to minimize damage. We push big trucks around at work with the fork lift using a couple old tires on the fork lift to go up against the bumper of the truck.

I have the 525 loader on my 3301, and you will want to be careful not to put too much pressure on just one of the side plates of the quick attach. Recently I had a couple short logs in my grapple and did not see that a limb had raised one of the quick attach levers, which allowed one side of the grapple to come completely off of the loader. Well, it was hanging there only secured to one of the plates, and yep, twisted the heck out of it.

After removing the grapple, I was able to place just one of the loader 'plates' against a tree & push. I was able to straighten it back with very little effort.

Might want to be careful.

If the vehicle has the brake set and doesn't weigh too much, this works. Kinda forgot what the L3200 looked like BC (Before Cab)

Hey guys, again thank you very much.
Today I moved my boat, my 12000 GVW dump trailer full of wood and my 87 Buick Regal, without a problem.
I did not know my little L3301 had the guts to move my stuff around the yard.
I had no doubts about it handling the boat, but the loaded dump trailer and the car. I was
doubtful and fear of damaging the FEL.
