    Something you might experiment with is to run a couple loops of old logging chain across the back of the bucket, pinned up on the corners. It keeps the back of the bucket from caking up like that, and when it clangs it gives you an auditory cue that the bucket is empty. I discovered this by accident with my skid loader. See if it works for you. :)

    Mike can't imagine how much you and Levi could do with the skid loader and excavator in a days worth of moving dirt for the new driveways. I can see you getting a snowblower for the skid loader and starting a snow removal business in the neighborhood. Ever thought about clearing out a big area down by the wood processing area and putting up a shed and storing your equipment and wood totes inside and use your scrap wood for burning wood in a wood stove to heat up the shed. You can put the dump truck and trailers and the rest of the equipment you have in it.

I love it and I gave Deere the first shot at it but I just couldn't spend the extra $6k on a proprietary machine that is considerably less capable. I was leery about the Kukjen engine till I found out Cummins makes them. I'm already buying implements. We'll see.

    A little tip to save you some fuel and smooth out the operation. Instead of running your throttle at a set speed use your foot feet to control the engine speed. The machine should be able to produce power fast without running wide open all the time. It is a good practice when you are in tight quarters. I run a cat and it works a lot smoother that way. Take it or leave it it’s just a thought from someone that has been running them for 30 years.
