put some leaves out to the curb for city pickup. Blower and grapple, make short work of it
I bet they love it pulling up to your place with the vacuum truck!put some leaves out to the curb for city pickup. Blower and grapple, make short work of it
As much as I hate to do it...it was necessary. Just turned 12K miles on it. Not bad for a 2018.careful Steve, you might get that truck dirty if you keep taking it out of the garage like that
came out great! and the set up looks awesome.
Looks like you have a fairly substantial sized counter balance weight on the mini? That must help quite a bit when spinning a load over the sides of the tracks? Did you add that weight or did you buy it that way?I had a customer to bring 5 Cedar logs for sawing last evening but it was too dark to do anything other than unload them.

The U25 handled that chore quite nicely.

So I went back this morning using the M4900 to move them to a more suitable place.

The Thumb on the forks help to stabilize the logs. It will be at least mid-December before before I can get to sawing these logs.
A local tire shop that deals in ag and construction tires should be able to take care of tire changes and ballasting (if loaded). If using mobile service instead of taking the machine or wheel to their shop, they just need to be able to get a service truck to it. Of course all that costs, but it is much less physically demanding than doing it yourself.I’ve got a question for you folks that use/abuse their tractors similar to the way I use mine! As noted in my previous post, I’ve had two rear flats. I have an MD60 with weighted (2 on each) rears. Closing in on 70 yo, it kicks my butt to remove/replace those tires! I may not be able to handle many more of these encounters in my future. Is there an easy way to challenge a tire change? memtb
I had a similar occurence a couple of months back.I failed to mention an unusual occurrence that confronted me the other day when I was busy clearing riverbank and putting very heavy rears back on after a flat!
I started out with a full fuel tank, and noticed that I seemed to be using a lot of fuel.I blamed it on the fairly heavy workload placed on the tractor. After a while, not being very attentive to the gauges, I noticed that I had used a lot of fuel! I immediately went into “panic mode”, thinking the worst after a punctured radiator, and 2 flats......my mind immediately went to a ruptured fuel tank! There was fuel running off of the rear of the engine......well above the fuel tank. Thankfully, it wasn’t the tank.....but what! Raising the hood, allowed me to see that a small low pressure fuel line (I presume a tank return line) had become disconnected at a tee! Why....How....but, an easy fix! Seems there’s always a new or unusual challenge! memtb
