Lol. Tom is so buried in his work....he hasn't figured out how to walk and chew gum....so he wont be of any help to you.
That fancy topless skid steer of yours with the nice orange rims. I would call that a death trap!

Re: My quietline
Yeah..idk where everyone is. I was thinking Big mike or Tom would clear some of this up Dave. I was hoping mike would post some more progress in the coffee shop of a old skid steer he has been working on. I called it "topless" because it doesn't have any cab or roll over protection...and it sounded good... maybe?

Re: My quietline
Oof, I'm guilty as charged, I've been terribly absent, just been stupid busy. Ok, on to the matter at hand... As usual, it is painful to agree with dag, but a "topless" skid steer really is a deathtrap! BM, you're the "welder-extraordinaire", weld up a beefy cage or at least a roll bar!
When I worked at one industrial site we came in the next day to find night shift had flipped one of skid steers upside down. Some fruitcake operator either messed up bad or was playing "wheelie-time". Without the cage he would have been squashed for sure.
There, now I feel dirty, siding with dag against BM - but only to save his life!
Good to see some of you on here with a few posts, I'll have to try to do better myself!

Re: My quietline
Ok you too!
I have a cage for it. It's a bear enough to work on topless let alone having the cage on it. It is a factory add on cage and not very ergonomic. I will likely build a more user friendly cage after I get it usable.
NOW, let's get back to the Quietline that's not getting restored!
