    Wasn’t sure how the bucket forks would work out in the wood yard, but can’t complain. Getting the wood off the ground is easier on the chain and the back. [​IMG][​IMG][​IMG]

    Careful with the weight. I blew the cylinder out on the bucket of my BX 2660 doing that. I don't know the official name of the cylinder, but it's the big one in the middle!:emb:

    Probably the curl cylinder. I just noticed that loader only has one cylinder there. If he is careful and doesn't overextend it, maybe he will be ok, with one log at a time.

    Wood won’t be any bigger than this and it picked these easily. I think I’ve picked up more weight with a load of wet dirt.
    Hopefully won’t cause problems.

    I'd imagine something was wrong with the cylinder that caused the blow out. The relief should operate before damage happens. If not then they would be failing like popcorn.
