New Survival Rig!

Man, this thing can climb, and it does it with about 2 feet of snow on the ground! Still no chains, but I know with any kind of load that will change! I went out and cleared about 6 miles of old fire road, mostly pucker brush and over growth, pretty easy! Man, that grapple is awesome!
I did find out which chains to use when and where, the Bear Paw ( Ring Chains) are for pretty much everything I will be doing, and for deep mud or nasty snow the Terrain Savers are the way to go!
Got up to the steel yard and had them plasma cut a bunch of steel for me, i'm starting on the over head light rack for all my new lights, head lights and tail light mounts! Going to be pretty darn cool having it all lit up when and where I need! Still trying to figure out where and how i'm going to do the exhaust, would like to get it out of the way in front of the cab, and have it exit over the roof of the cab! the Intake will be easy compared!

 

Be sure to wear the seat belt at all times.
Wheel loaders are especially top heavy.
I worked on them and in them at a ski area I worked .
Also I recommend a talk to a factory rep to learn the typical hydraulic hoses that need replaced from time to time, and at least get a spare. and fluid as well.
Best of luck with your new toy.
