oh gotcha. Well i bought it to push snow and do this project. I dont want to replace a clutch either but i intend to use the machine :). I hope it can stand up to my abuse. I'm borrowing a skidloader to help get the loose dirt out for the remainder of the project. its just too slow to...

feels fine, no smell. which part are you talking about? dragging the wall out?

it is kind of heavy... lol

I've been operating w/ the hoe deployed now and I agree with you all, it does feel better. the speed jumping back and forth between hoe and loader is so much better as well. here is a progress video.

that little trick about reversing the lever at the last second works wonderful. Got it on my first try on flat ground with low rpms! I went ahead and did that about 10 more times tonight. I used to try to minimize how often i switch between backhoe and loader but after learning this trick i...

so I have managed to latch it with the same method you show. I just didnt 'realize what I had done to accomplish it! after it happened i was thinking to myself, what did i just do that made it latch so nicely. I'll try this tonight!

ya i wasn't thinking that it helps to stow it for CG, I was more thinking about that large mass hanging off the back maybe throwing off the balance on the springs. but honestly i just hadn't really thought about it much at all! i have a hard time getting the boom to raise enough to latch. it...

so stow it far enough to get it to latch so it won't droop once i disengage the pto? getting it to latch is the hard part so once i got that far i never thought twice about the extra time to fold it up, i just assumed that was the better position but i'll try leaving it down. my plans are to...

ya, i did a few searches for one but the price on this husqvarna one made it a better option for me.

I bought this SEE after i got a quote from someone else to do the work!

here is what I'm up to for the past couple of weeks. Feel free to tell me what I'm doing wrong :)

all good ideas and I'm sure it would have been doable, but it was easier to let the neighbor come in with his tractor and pull me out.

chains are a yes. i considered using hte backhoe but honestly i'm nervous, it might not be apparent in the picture but its leaning to the side quite a bit and i'm nervous to deploy the weight of the backhoe without tipping it over.... side note, i've never used the backhoe so i'm not skilled...

Ooops, time to call in reinforcements... we got several hours of freezing rain first before the big snow so there was really no correcting once the hill grabbed it.

another snow pic. ready for spring so i can try the mog out on some other types of work. I bought it 2 weeks before our first plowable snow of the year and haven't done anything else with it yet.

thanks, i'll look into that! be nice to be able to have both hands again.

cleared the driveway a few times already this season. takes a little practice to get the curl to the right angle to scrape without gouging. I have been using the float, is it supposed to latch into float position or do you always have to hold the lever down?
