    Thanks for all the advice. I think the rake might work for my site prep, but i got about 50-75 yards of loose material i might benefit from sifting through as well. Sorry i didn't mention that originally. Either way, i went ahead and ordered the rock bucket...got a good deal. I'll post back when...

    rock / skeleton bucket advice ??

    I have some real rocky ground that i need to prep for grass. Probably about 1/4 acre, but lots of rock! I've saved up and I wanna buy a rock bucket. Looking for advice regarding design. The main variables Ive seen are tine spacing, round versus flat tines, and solid or tined rear end. I realize...

    Bucket teeth add on

    Thx! What teeth did you buy? Do you know the brand, model, or size? Sorry I'm clueless

    Bucket teeth add on

    Yeah..I'd prefer that as well, but I already have this bucket lying around, and my budget to get into an occasional use bucket is only 100-200 bucks.

    Bucket teeth add on

    I have this old beat up bucket I got for practically free. I have been beating up my "good" bucket scraping shale on my property. Finally wised up and switched to the "beater" bucket. Made me think how great it would be to have teeth on the beater bucket. Can this be done? given the condition of...

    Help loader wont move !

    Machine moving ok now. Dealer said dont bother bringing it in unless i want to replace parts on spec. Thinks the connections at the pedals may have gotten real wet with the sloppy conditions, then just dried out. I guess for now im gonna just have to try to be more careful on how much slush i'm...

    Help loader wont move !

    really ?? i just need to be able to depend on the machine. i dont want it locking up like that if I'm out plowing during a big storm. That would cost me almost the cost of the repair. i also dont want to throw my money away if the problem is fixed

    Help loader wont move !

    Thanks, but i wouldnt even know where to start with something like that. Talked to my dealer today and sounds like he's saying a bad actuator. Says 99% of the time, thats the problem. Right about $900 all in. That sux

    Help loader wont move !

    I'm not very technical, anybody have step by step on how to do this? Any other options? Would maybe drying out the cab with a small heater work?

    Help loader wont move !

    Used her heavy yesterday, wet gloves and towel slid under the seat. Could that have caused it? Lights switch doesn't give codes on this model. Just reads v8000, but info button gives 3249, 3253, 3254 and 3265. Book says actuator? Is this a simple fix or should I deliver my first born to the dealer

    Help loader wont move !

    Just got home from a day moving snow, parked the s250 in the garage, for a couple hours, all was fine. Just went out and the bucket wont move, i can go forward and back, but no bucket or arm movement at all. The "general warning light" is now on. (little yellow diamond with exclamation mark) Not...
