Weather and schedules finally all lined up. Got the loader back at the farm! Dad, brother and I have spent a long weekend doing all kinds of jobs. I have a lot of pics and will try to post them up as time allows.
Got an early start at 7am Thursday morning. We hired a local dirt contractor to move it. The loader had about a 15 mile journey over to the property. The Mack truck pulling it could really move out. The owner said it had about 460 HP. Said he wished it had about 100 HP more!
The local farmer's coop delivered us a fresh tank of fuel on Wednesday (210 gallons). We had drained the old farm tank of it's stale fuel. Last year we ended up using 5 gallon cans to fill up the loader each day we worked. That got old on top of making a mess everytime we filled up. The only bad part now is the labor involved in pumping it.
Backing away without making too much of a mess in my grandmother's yard. Time to put this thing to work!
