WE USE THE FRONT BUCKET ON OUR TRIDENT 40HP TO REMOVE SILT FROM OUR DAM, AND RELOCATE IT TO A WASHOUT. #farming #tractor #tractorvideo #agriculture #farmers #agriculturalmachinery #machinery
How have you found your 55? I'm looking at one too but there aren't enough reviews to decide between Trident, UHI or AGKing, they're all pretty much the same gear. Trident having their bucket controls where they are is the only reason I'm giving them preference. Any feedback would be appreciated mate, cheers.
@@MyTMo-f1v So far so good, I have around 30hr on it and its been great. you would need to go over the tractor when it arrives as there were a few loose bolts and the tyres were inflated to 50lb which is unreal as 20 is heaps it nearly bounced me off the seat lol. The tractor itself is solid and the motor is strong. The attachments are good but take a lot of assembly and setting up to get them right. The slasher is great and so is the backhoe, the blade is OK and I haven't tried the post hole borer yet. The 4 way bucket is brilliant and because of the controls being in the right place is easy to operate, like all heavy equipment if you look after it and don't do stupid jobs that it's not meant for it should last a life time. I couldn't be more pleased with mine , I'm glad I went for the 55 it has heaps of power and does it east. Cheers. PS pallet forks and bail forks are handy as well
Are you taking in and out of 4WD? - IMHO I would just leave it in 4WD to do this job and only use 2nd to travel to the job and home. I’m going down to the local Lovol dealer see what deal he will offer on the Lovol 40hp.
Here is a tip for you before you break the front axle in half - when doing loader/bucket work where loading is concentrated over the front axle, this weight should be counter-balanced with weight added to the rear of the machine. If you do not have a dedicated counter weight, then use the heaviest implement you have available and place that on the 3-point linkage. You will notice a marked improvement in traction and ability to dig in AND it off-sets the load placed on the front axle, wheels and tyres. Front-end loader work 1.01!!
@@grahamharris5223hey I'm no expert but my understanding is that rear wheel weights will help with rear traction, and might help stop the rear end lifting with a heavy load in the front bucket. But what trickster says is correct. Think of the tractor like a see-saw. The pivot point is the rear axle. Weight behind the rear axle takes load off the front axle as it is behind the pivot point. Without balast behind the rear axle the front axle has to hold the load.
Agree with trickster IMHO and from experience a rear 3PL mounted counter weight helps tremendously when doing loader work and helps take some of the strain off the front axle
Nice work, my 55 gets here monday.
Cool. You will love it. Definitely happy with mine. 😀👍

It has wheel weights to counter act the bucket weight 👍
