Any details on the 3rd SCV changes?
The JDQA rubs me the wrong way (for lack of better terms) for a couple reasons...
A) If you do alot of backdragging, I cant imagine those 2 snap pins last forever...yeah they're cheap & easy, but still.
B) JDQA = your pegged into a hole with the attachements you can buy.
C) Hand in Hand with B, because your limited to What you can buy, your also limited in WHO you can buy from...translation to english... More $$ for lighter duty items.
I can't argue with your points. Not gonna hold being a salesman against you :beer:, as there are alot of GOOD Salespeople out there...just tell me the truth like you did in your post.
Yeah the S/S stuff might be heavier, but its cheaper because everybody under the sun sells it, and its heavy duty stuff. You seen many posts on other sites about a bucket bowing, etc, not so much on Skid Steer buckets. For the price of a new toothbar, I can find a nice used tooth bucket... Heck, I got my 60" JD Foundry bucket "Free" from the dealer when I got my tractor. As for the weight issue, yeah, mebbe it holds water on the smaller models, but IMO on my 300cx, theres not been a time with either the bucket or forks that I wasnt able to lift what I wanted...and if I COULDNT lift it, I doubt thr 80lbs or whatever difference it is, would be the "straw that broke the camel's back".
