[QUOTE="CUT_TLB, post: 9479, member: 1198"] Nice pix, Ken. I see how that works. I also saw your custom setup, Tazza. Good ideas there. Thx for posting. Friday I got my first oppy to get seat time in a SS. It was a Mustang 2044 (49hp, almost 5K#) set up with a hydraulic breaker. I did about 2 hrs and my impression as a tractor guy is: nice engine, very manuverable, very good fwd/rev control. Not so good was the foot pedal operation of the boom and curl. Clearly some of that is due to being used to hand controls for same. Anyway, now I think I see why b/hs have to be secured to the frame. The bkt curl cyls and attachment support don't seem to be all that stable for something as heavy as a hoe. Even the hyd breaker was hard to precisely position with the curl, and it prob weighed only 600# or so. BTW, we (the land owner and I) had a very difficult time trying to break up an old slab and stem wall. Not the right tool for the job, apparently. [/QUOTE]
