Mornin' Bob,

Just a couple of notes:

The F-10 used a cylinder-actuated cable for many years and they work just fine. The later models had 'tilt' cylinders out at the horns; I never was lucky enough to own one of those, though.

You want to make sure your cable is in good repair, if it is starting to fray, replace it. They are not that expensive and are really easy to change out. They usually last for many, many years, though. The cylinder that operates the cable lives inside that right support arm. Also, keep all the pivot pins in both box frames & the pulleys in that upper rear box frame greased too.

You will also have hydraulics for a grapple or push-off attachment, those are the two hydraulic connections piped down to the horns on the inside of the left support arm and controlled by the extra control lever separate from your rotary control.

See that little horizontal 4" lever there with your controls? That is for lowering those heavy loads. It "bleeds" off the pressure slowly and let's 'er down easy. With a real heavy load up high, you want to use this little lever just for safety's sake.

You've really got a great loader and I'd trade my little toy F-11 to you in a heartbeat. :>)

Yes, put the chains on the rear only,

Allan
