After seeing the "factory setup" you did a better job enginering all the way around. Shorter arms closer to front axle, longer and bigger lifting cylinders with more direct pull up, and the hydraulic top link is a really nice feature too.  Especially for scooping up bin's etc.. with the forks on the front end on uneven terrain,, real field conditions.

Likewise,, should be a real sweet deal being able to put field "tools" on both the front and back.  A front mount mower would be really nice, not smashing weeds down first then trying to mow the dang things !!

Excellent job ! 

(don't listen to anyone who may say otherwise)

Know what you mean about the heat... it was 102 here today,, 101 yesterday and most of the eastern part of the state is under a heat alert/advisery....  4 days ago I was wearing an insulated shirt to stay warm.....
