i find mine tightens while working and can be hard to loosen. a while back it started drifting a bit while chipping into truck no matter how much i would tighten it. cured it by welding a series of dots on the flange. never moves now and not hard to open

tractor/loader for me.does every thing you mention + pulls track chipper or mini digger. is 40k.groundy will usually follow me to job in tractor and arrive maybe half hour after by which time i.ll have signs up and paperwork ready. i live in a hilly area and find i am saving a lot of wear and tear on my tranny and hilux by using tractor for the heavier towing, great to have winch and loader on site, saves loads of time. also tractor can get into tighter spaces and more versatile for farm work and hence more saleable when you want to upgrade. having said all that would love to own a mog.

:thumbup1 good point. sitting waiting for rain to stop is just a recipe for doom and gloom. better to get stuck in first thing and finish earlier on wet days. a change of clothes at midday helps a lot, and a change before driving home is a must.

smooth work and great video

today was our 1st day without rain in 3weeks. would be out of business if we had to wait for dry weather over here. yes, but it does bother me when it,s every day. funny thing is, after 2 fine days we forget all the crap weather and where our rain gear is left.
