! Glad you were able to finally get it home. Looks pretty good on that 100. Maybe you should talk Jude out of the tractor! They are nicer to have on a hydro, though. That bucket is huge. That is the nice thing about the Kwik way buckets, they are bigger and rounded which helps especially snow load easier. Kinda rolls into the bucket. Not like you'll have worry about too much snow

. Great, now I have bucket envy

Congrats! And of course, more pics when you're able,

I'm glad to be the one not having bucket envy!

It's nice to finally have it home.

Good info Matt thanks!

Haha I'll bring a rear blade with me too if you have the room for it. Jude would never miss one of them would he?

I got some new pics. Evan was good enough to help me wash it. He was so excited he didn't get out of his PJ's to do it.

The rear end is a tad bit light so I had to do something about it. I could lift the back up with two hands and the rear tires would come off the ground when turning to fast! Shh don't tell Jude I've added tires to the 100. Think he'll be able to tell the diffrence?

Oh pics of the first full load!

I added wheel weights as well. The loaded tires added 92lbs each and the wheel weights 51 lbs each for a total of 286lbs! The tires I took off was 26lbs total!

Go to Matt Gs site and look at his 682 with loader. He has the same loader that he made fit his 682 and he goes into detail on how and what he had to do to make the sub frame fit the 682 which would be pretty close to your 1200 frame.

Ok I got some time to get some more pics of the loader. Evan took some pics and he moved a little and I'll look a bit thinner in the head but it gives you a chance to see how high the loader goes up (I'm 6 ft tall). I've got pics of the sub frame. Evan had to point out how high I got the front wheels up.

Oh put a little to much hydro oil in the reserve tank and it squrited out the extra.

Good shot of the wheel weights I took off the 125 to help keep the rear end on the ground.

Oh about forgot this is the dealer decal from the dealership on the 71 hood.
