Looks like you been putting that thing to work. Does the 39xx series have DEF?

DPF but not DEF.

DPF but not DEF.

DPF aren't as bad as DEF.

A couple months ago I cut off the safety triangle mount in preparation for mounting a packout plate, but got sidetracked. Today I picked that project back up.

I just picked the cheapest steel one I could find on Amazon.

Rolled over the 100 hour mark Tuesday at lunch cleaning up some roadkill...

Did you do the first Hydro Fluid Change? I think for mine it was at the 50 or 100 hour mark.

Changed the filter at 50, haven't done a full fluid change. Doesn't look like it calls for it but I probably will before I use it hard this spring/summer.

Meet Rubble.

I picked up an AGT MX12RX with some upgrades. It came from a guy on NC4x4 who has sold a bunch of these and he's not planning to sell any more. So, he threw in 2 extra buckets, a ripper, and a hydraulic thumb. I have a little bit of setup to finish but should be a handy little machine. More to come.

This thing is so slow we have to train the littles to walk it. My time is too valuable

so what did you think of the little digger? I"ve been contemplating one for a couple years.

I just ran it a few minutes to clear out a ditch. My driveway is a mess from the rain Sunday.

I have a couple things coming Friday (fittings for the thumb, quick attach pins) and I need to flip the quick attach bracket around (he installed it backwards). Then I'll be able to give a fair assessment. I wish I had the QA pins yesterday so I could use the smooth bucket on the driveway. Tractor driving over it was tearing it up as quick as I could get it smooth.

I got the other buckets set up with quick attach pins, plumbed, and adjusted the thumb. The pedal would let it close but not open. Had to pull the dog house off to see how the linkage worked.



Also added a cup holder. I need to find a place to put a packout plate but theres no open flat space. It might have to mount between the roll bars.
