    I’ve been looking at one of these for lifting logs for bucking them up .

      Get it! I researched for a year or so and finally bit the bullet. It was either this or a bucket on the front of the tractor. Either could help you with logs I bet.

    That could be a handy gadget to have around the house. You'll get the hang of it and the feel for the controls. Great being where the ground is soft in the wide open spaces. But after many hours of experience on hoes, it tough going in hard ground filled with limestone and rock and even roots for the grown up machines. Still, getting you through what it can do beats a shovel and a bar any day.

      Thanks for watching and the suggestions! Here in Coastal Georgia we are mainly sandy and some clayey soils. I'm still hesitant to operate close to something meaningful. Going to ease into that experience for sure.

      I hear ya! Still had to clean up the footing with a flat blade shovel. I think I need a flat blade bucket to help me with that.

    I have a similar tractor (AGT H12R). Operating the main boom created a huge amount of bucking. I solved this by installing a Flow control valve to the main boom. Cost with fittings was about $60.

      Good suggestion. Do you have link to a youtube video to show how to do that? I'd like to see what that involves. Thanks for watching!

      @ I think I have an idea for that. maybe it'll help but still want to keep the thin profile this machine has.

      Sorry, I do not. I bought it off of Facebook marketplace with a guy that was just selling this one locally. I'll check his page from time to time to see if he is going to sell more. If he does, I'll add a link. I had to search through a decent amount of scammy looking ads on Facebook to find a real person. Good luck on your search!
