    Gambler, Nice work. Any one that can weld up equipment like that and still get the pins to slide in and out of the bushings without a sledge hammer is a good machinist.

    Was wondering: when the front loader bucket is off, does the backhoe at the rear make the front end of the tractor too light? wasn't sure if it is necessary to first remove backhoe bucket in order to keep weight on the front end, then remove/change the front loader bucket?

    My 420DIT is a little light on the front end with the bucket or forks off. It does have front counter weights due to also having an extendahoe, so that does help. It's not a problem moving around changing attachments but I wouldn't take off up or down a hill or go to digging with the backhoe without something on the front.

    I have the front weight package didn't seem to light and I won't be bombing around without either forks or bucket on
