It ends with actual field use, picking up and dumping brush piles to show how the crusher handles. Best for owners planning their own loader install or curious about this attachment combo in action.
Appears to be an owner installing and testing equipment on his own tractor, sharing an unpolished, hands-on account rather than a promotional or dealer video.
The first line should go to the barrel end of the bucket cylinder, not the cylinder end. The factory line was reversed, so swapping the hoses around solved the problem.
It picked up and dumped brush piles successfully, though it took some getting used to the controls one-handed. The operator says it makes moving brush a lot easier.
Mounting the loader brackets, mounting the joystick valve bracket, plumbing the valve fittings, and connecting the hydraulic hoses correctly to the bucket cylinder.
