As you mentioned, the stands aren't meant to take a lot of weight. They are meant to carry part of the loader's weight. Watch them while removing / reinstalling the loader so you don't accidentally try to lift the tractor on them.
That's my exact worry haha. I'll do it wrong and squash them.As you mentioned, the stands aren't meant to take a lot of weight. They are meant to carry part of the loader's weight. Watch them while removing / reinstalling the loader so you don't accidentally try to lift the tractor on them.
It isn't terribly difficult to master. BUT I'm living proof that things can go wrong. That said, the dealer who bought my 10 year old B7500 was impressed that it didn't have a crease across the hood. Those loaders had sort of a spacer bar across the back of the loader frame that was a fairly close to the hood. He told me it was rare to see a pristine hood one a B7500.That's my exact worry haha.

It is really an easy process as others have said. Flat surface most important, First time is the scariest. Only trouble I have had was the first time removing when you curl the bucket to lift the loader arms out of pin sockets I did not curl enough to put the bottom of the bucket flat on the ground. There was no problem except the bucket not being flat allowed the loader lines to gain pressure as the bucket sat angled. So I had to release the pressure before I could recouple the QD's when putting the loader back on. But, that could happen with a temperature change also, especially if it is off a long time, So you should learn how to release the pressure in the loader lines by pushing in the poppet.That's my exact worry haha.

If you do a lot of mowing you will love having that loader off - believe me!!

What is the cost on the potted trees?Probably 225-250 in total. These were replacements for last years batch. I'll,probably end up doing the rest of 5hem in the fall.
Privacy and a wind break when they get large enough. The Gulf of Saint Lawrence is a couple miles to the north of them. Lots of wind.And if IRC these are along your property line and not for another purpose ??

$5-10 canadian. Last years batch came from open fields and along the woods. They didn't fair very well. Hope the do better.What is the cost on the potted trees?
Just me in the hot tubYou are one tree planting dude....
Once you get all these growing for privacy, you gonna open a nudist camp or something? j/k,![]()
Welcome islander! I'm a CFA. Born in N.B.Hi S-G-R, I'm in PEI too and have a neighbor looking for spruce trees for a hedge row at a cottage property on the north shore. Those trees look good. Would you mind sharing where your purchased them. Thank you
Couple things…Mowing dandelions

You're gonna feel silly like I did when you realize how easy and quickly you can pop the loader on and off.I haven't tried taking it off. A little scared to be honest because I'm worried I'll screw it up haha and never get it back on. I watched videos and people make it look easy but nothing ever goes easy for me![]()
A1, thanks for the info.Basically yes. Just unplug and remove the factory cigarette lighter (unscrew the metal retaining sleeve), open up the hole a bit to 1-1/8", install the USB outlet, tighten the retaining nut and reconnect the spade lugs. Blue Sea Systems products are designed for boats so need to be rugged and weatherproof. There's no illumination to fail, just good quality plastics, a simple appearance and some clever internals. This USB outlet will work well on an open station or cabbed tractor.

1. They do look nice but I'd prefer they weren't thereCouple things…
1. i bet that looked nice when in bloom.
2. Bees probably loved it.
3. Seems like you should have more than enough to make some wine (how many to the acre is that?)
I like it when our field is full of them…that’s a pretty good sized patch, if you have a nice backdrop or some old machinery believe it or not people will pay to have photos taken there. I don’t understand it but it’s a thing.
This is what I made for my BX FEL. Some 1.5" square tubing, a large washer and a 1.5" shaft collar.Have any of you made a cylinder safety stop for your loader? I'm looking for fabricate my own. I was just wondering because it will be a lot easier and a safer to service the tractor. 10 more hours until first oil change! Gonna replace the filters too, might as well change the fuel filter while I'm at it. It doesn't look bad at all but can't hurt. The air filter needs to be changed as well. Gonna be a pricey day at the dealership getting the stuff![]()
I assume you mean 1.5" channel?1.5" square tubing
