The video's most concrete moment is a step-by-step quick-attach bucket swap, removing the grapple and mounting the standard bucket, with a useful tip about relieving hydraulic pressure before disconnecting couplings. The grading itself is candid and self-described as rough. Best for new 1626 owners curious about real-world loader bucket changes.
An owner-operator making casual hobby-farm videos on a family property, with no commercial or dealer affiliation apparent.
Take the pressure out of the hydraulic lines first, then the couplings release easily and the pin inside can disconnect, allowing the bucket to be removed and the new one attached.
If there is too much pressure in the lines, the pins inside won't release, so the couplings won't come off or go back on properly. Relieving pressure first fixes this.
No, the owner says it looks terrible and he is not good at it, noting that operators who make grading look easy on job sites are more skilled than it appears.
