So i figured with GREAT SUCCESS last week that it was ready for work. I went to go get some rock and discovered that it will pick the front end clear up off the ground at full lift. Awesome.
Wasnt till i was driving down one of the busier streets in Humboldt that the i noticed the bucket whopper jawed and the tractor pulling to the right.
Bent 3pt arm, flat tire (had problems all mowing season, rappidly amplified by extra weight) backed into ditch to unload and rim spun inside tire and the low fuel light came on... Phone almost dead, Called Nightow1 to help. Aired the tire up and came home.
Mission aborted.
Going to build more robust 3pt arms similar to ones XMW has, put my new 23° Firestones on and put more fuel in the 18, then give it another go. Wish me luck!
