Well I finally managed to get my hoe mounted up to my skidder. I built the bracket based on the factory bracket. It took a little doing to get it on there, as I don't have the hydraulic power connected yet. Need to get some hoses and a valve.
Dont forget the loader cylinder struts to keep the loader from dropping or creeping down on all your fine work.
My factory strut is missing. On the side opposite in the picture there is one made of angle iron. If anyone has a picture of the factory item and where it mounts I would love to see it so that I can make some.
