The dozer extension on the front end loader is a brilliant idea! When you said you needed to raise the area two feet my first thought was "that's a lot of fill", and it was!! Great video Mike. I look forward to more.
I see what you mean about the bucket lift structure shifting fore and aft. After 13:35 onward for a while, it could barely be seen moving. You'll find it !!
Has anybody heard of the theory that if you jump a car turn the charged car off to eliminate surges, as an example "my mate vince" blew a chip by simply connecting the power supply before turning on the toothbrush, because the supply created a very small surge when switched on!
