I just put a LBL on my 322. I would have left the mower deck on but I wanted to change all the fluids/filters which meant removal of the deck.. The deck would have helped as far as weight goes to keep the rear end from coming up on you but if you are going with relatively heavy weight in the bucket, you need to add wheel and/or rear weights.. I like your tooth setup on the bucket. I fabbed a 44 inch tooth bar ( they called it a scarifier ) from a 48 inch Swisher bucket that I had lying around. I also welded a hook onto a 3 1/2 x 4 inch steel 1/4 plate to keep the bucket from bending. Might have been fine but I had the material and the welder so I figured why not ? The 322's are incredibly quiet and sound as close to a diesel as you'll get.. Apparently the engines can last far longer to to the water cooled engine than the air cooled models like the 318.. Love the LBL so far even though I just used it for around 20 bags of mulch. When the wife doesn't bat an eye buying something like the LBL when you should her what it can do that pretty much says it all. Plan to try the tooth bar in a pile of dirt that's been setting a few years..
Nice, I am trying to sell a 140 with a loader and I want to replace it with a little buck on my 322. Overall, I think it will work fine as I have a real loader on my 1023E, so the Little Buck will be for small jobs and used as a secondary loader, the 120R will hit the real heavy stuff.
At this point LBL AND JD should be sending you commission checks for your videos of their products....yours are much more to the point and interesting than their own sales videos...keep the yellow and green side up...and keep posting your videos
It would when I curl the bucket but I have a lockout valve on the back ram that raises the mower deck. Usefule for anything that uses the front spool that shares that ram to include the 4 way blade.

I could have used that yesterday!

They've never sent me enough to buy a cup of coffee, and I drink one at least when I'm creating the videos!! Thanks!
does it raise and lower the deck as you raise and lower the bucket?
