Got a brand new articulating loader delivered and it came right off the truck broken with warranty issues. Laterd. Found out my worker that "broke his back" was full of **** and subsequently **** canned. Now I just waiting on more crap to rain down on me. At least the plumbing is all done in our upstairs.

Had a horrible morning which turned into an awesome day , pruning out a walnut a was swinging the pieces to clear the roof and hooked about 4" piece and broke it and it hit the roof like a spear , good thing that It was a foreclosed unit , no one home , talked to the maintenance man and he put a temp. Patch til the roofer can fix it , ******* I hate to have a good rhythm and then bam ! What ever tomorrow is always another day

What loader you get?
Could always be worse though, I suppose. Just might be time to slow down and think about things if it keeps happening like that. I'll admit to pushing the limits a bit (just a little) just before I broke my arm this year.

The Gehl 540. I'm trying to orientate my biz to a lower impact operation. I like the speed and power of my asv but it destroys lawns, leaves marks on driveways, and has 4x the operating cost of the 540. It's for sale FYI.

Nice. No thanks on the asv though. I have the same idea as far as lawn impact goes. I'm looking for a 340 right now. 540 would be nice but I gotta keep the machine weight down.

Crap raining down on you from the plumbing? That's some ****!
I just don't get how some people can tell the biggest lie and not even bother to think it through?!?! Dumbasses.

The aux flow is handled on the right joystick. Two buttons which are just relays to a solenoid. It's stuck in one direction (grapple open) so it could be a few things. I'm not going to tinker and void the warranty so this is how it's going to go.
The aux flow can also be controlled with a manual lever to the valve spool underneath the joystick. It's awkward and is reserved for releasing the pressure of the flow to switch attachments.
I'll post some pics tomorrow.

We just bought a new swinger loader last year. Demoed the gehl and hated the setup. Looking at another swinger next spring.
