We purchased 10 acre parcel with house last fall and plan to do some work on the land as a small hobby farm in addition to my profession as a registered nurse. This venture has introduced me to the wonderful world of compact tractors. I also come at it with a love to fabricate and plan to tackle many implement projects in the near future.

Welcome to the forum Barrett! Glad to have you here. New to SK? I lived in Saskatoon for a few years. Used to take the boys to Blackstrap, the man made ski hill, for a bit of snowboarding.
I've checked out your fab project on the stump puller! Looks good!

Not new. Raised here in fact. It's home... But the acreage is definitely a change. Oh blackstrap. I have spent much time out there snowboarding as a youth, and now there is a decent mountain bike network of trails. I actually worked for Machibroda for a few years, the geotechs and engineers behind that pimple on the prairie. Small world here on the prairies!

everything was fine. I was a precarious situation where i was backing out of a muddy hole with dirt in the loader. The front actually slipped out a bit and she went. No harm done but a great LESSON, on the limits and nature of tip this machine has.

Happy you lived and able to show pics and a story of how it happend.
Gives me something to ponder, about getting a loader 😢

All I can say is use your ROPS! and ballast is NOT an option.
