Oh, my phone learned that the hard way, heh

Haha yeah, i have also learned that the hard way :) But it was already too late on this door. the last time someone cut and welded it, they hadn't covered the glass. so it's already full of burn marks. That's why i didn't bother to cover them up :) But thanks anyway! :)

@@KJOff-Road Burn marks just make it look meaner. 👍👍

Thanks for watching along :)

Ah yes. Grading bucket. That sounds familliar! Thanks! :)

@@KJOff-Road They often wear out because the smooth back side is used to push around and compact loose material. I hope you show repairing them, if you decide to. A backhoe is a very useful piece of equipment for a property your size. 👍

Haha no, i was hoping to get a green one. but i guess i just wasn't allowed to buy it? :)

Hah well, nither can i. I tried to get one, but i guess i just wasn't allowed to buy it. haha :) Thanks for watching along!

Roger that. Thanks! :)

@@KJOff-Road Things I’ve learned through trial and error Low RPM to learn, then kick it up as you get smooth on the controls. Don’t ram front bucket into what you want to scoop up. Use torque of motor to push into it. When you ram into it, you end up with gaps around your bushings you can stick your fingers into. There’s a lot of filters, change them often. Be careful what fluids you use especially in the differential. If it’s like mine, the brakes are in there and the wrong type of fluid makes the brakes chatter and groan. The steering is powered by the fluid. If it’s low on fluid you can spin the steering wheel until hell freezes over and nothing will happen. When you park it, turn the bucket and front loader bucket so they won’t hold water when it rains, so they don’t rust out. Just a few things I’ve learned

Yes, you are right. unfortunately that will only give it a few more milimeters. and it has to come in a lot more than that. But thanks :) And thanks for watching along!

Roger that. Thanks :)

Yeah, the buckets are very sloppy. they are gonna' get sorted :)

Absolutely! But for some reason, one of those original front loaders, cost more than i paid for this whole machine :/

@@KJOff-Road you tell me you got this thing for around 500€? Damn. To me it always seems like everybody is always selling them. However for many people it's probably just wasted space. Technically you just need the attachment points to your Unimog. The loader itself is a standard tractor from i.e. baas.

Hah, well no, not quite. i was exaggerating a bit :) But as you also point out, it's not just the loader. i would also need the right brackets, and i would also need a bigger hydralic system, and that all adds up pretty quick. But no, it would not quite get to the price of this though :)

@@KJOff-Road You could get good deals for that stuff and your new Pump should be fine for a front end loader. But you probably also want the tougher front springs, which your Mog probably already has if it was a snowplow. But in the end it will always be a front end loader and not a proper digger. Although they accel at loading trailers with their long overhag/reach

Might just do that. that would be neat :)

I can't help myself. Haha :)

@@KJOff-Road i know the feeling

Hah, no worries. I do try to keep tings/myself safe when i work. But really, none of that was terribly dangerous. The steel was not that hard, so there really wasn't huge amounts of pressure on anything.
