I had several of the old 200 series. Started with a 210, moved up to a 212, then a 216, I think. I think it was the 214 I never had. It amazes me how big those little tractors were.

You going to put some 3 pt attachments on that? I have been really considering it with one of mine. But it's a fold up and would not have a whole lot of weight hanging way out there.

Good pickup, I moved it back to the main GT's by brand level.

Thanks. Thought this might be too good not to. People need to see these are not just lawn mowers.

There were two exactly same name threads, one was in the JD brand forum and the other in "Other GT brands". I merged them so we wouldn't have two exact same name threads and by moving it to the top level of the GT's by brand, any brand can be posted in it.
I didn’t mean to cause a fuss just wasn’t sure where to post it

Not a problem Gage A. Before you name a generalized thread though, it pays to use the Search Commmunity tool to see if it has been already used.
Not exactly sure what you mean? Do you mean putting some three-point hook ups on the crane? I thought of it but it was all two grown men could do to load it in my pick up it’s a pretty heavy cherry picker. I was thinking since it has caster wheels on all four corners I could put a to point hook up on the side where the cylinder is to pick up that end so it just slides around on the front caster wheels. Irecently pulled the motor in my John Deere 400 and I extended the arm all the way out to make it easier to grab the motor and even as heavy as that motor was the crane handled it like it wasn’t even there

Yes, mine are collapsible as in the legs stand up for storage. Heavy but I could move it around by myself. The Ariens 3 pt will lift 300 lbs. and the hoist is less than that. By how much I don't know.
On yours just some tabs for the lower arms maybe a better way to go. It's no fun dragging these around even on concrete with a load. Yours looks like a beast. You should be able to pick the 400 complete easily with that. Mine are only capable of 4000 lbs. at the close setting and 2000 lbs. extended.
I found a way to move it! I put the back wheels in the bucket of my 400 and put a ratchet strap around the top and connected it to the crossmember on the loader. with all that wheight out in front I could not get any traction on the back so I stood on the 3 point and reached up to the hydro control. I need to move it later today so i'll try to get a pic

That was back before the feel good people gained control I hope. But he was likely right.

He was apt to get a slap on the back of the head if she heard him say it.

We don't do the slap or hit thing in anger here. The wife figured that one out early on. Guess she didn't like the results. Just because we were married didn't make either of us punching bags.
