Keep on popping them different kinds of ways to make a loader lawn mower. I've been thinking on like fork truck style. Maybe an actuator straight up and down and little one one bucker for tilt and even a third for slight pivot on up and down frame to 6" give 3" each way positive and negative tilt maybe. IDK seeing what you think. Your the expert on this. Also one could have little fork lift and bucket attachments for versatility. Just a half a cents worth. For now everyone just wait till ED gets few cents on it. Be awesome as always. Thanks for sharing stay safe from ur ole hillbilly buddy
Your too generous with your praise. But I have considered a fork lift style loader. One benefit would be by keeping the load close to the tractor it would be able to lift heavier loads. With a conventional loader that has arms that extend out, the load it can handle is less because the arms act like levers. The levers tend to pivot on the front axle, thus lifting the rear end of the tractor causing a loss of traction. This would be less likely to happen with a vertical lift setup. Hope this helps.
Yeah I really like it . Might be what I need to start with. . Later upgrade to hydraulic put winch on my 4 wheeler when take it off there. Win win. Thanks for sharing ur 2 cents.
Ed, Is this tractor a GT6000? When you approach the 200 lb. limit, does your steering get increasingly difficult? Do counterweights help that, besides increasing traction for the rear wheels?
That is so awesome. I am planning on building one. Thanks so much love your videos.
Have fun!
Nice set up Mr Ed .👍🏻
Thanks 👍

You have a good plan there.

yes counterweights help tremendously but nothing is quite as good as power steering
