She doesn't know that is an option, but if it was ~ it would be the colour of a 3 point hitch, Hyd PTO and straighter tin work and bucket -

Paint the second her colour , than you can keep both . His and Hers loaders . It would be unfair of you not to let her help with her own machine .

That’s a fantastic idea! Once she used it for a bit she won’t want you to get rid of it! Or convince her that redundancy in the system is a good thing. 2 loader are definitely better that just one!

...that was the deal

Otherwise known as you'll have it forever since the fixing never quite ends...

Or paint blue, and say you sold yellow one as promised.

While I appreciate your suggestions...
You guys really aren't helping...

From my own experience since I own two 600 series GT’s. When one was deadlined because of a broken hydraulic hose, the other was handy to have to finish the project. Another time the 644 lbh was stuck in the mud the 646 pulled it out. Recently using the 644 lbh to dig a trench the 646 to move the move dirt away. That’s just a few reasons I’ve found two are better than one. Harry

I never entertained keeping two loaders, because of the cost. I'd say make the red one all good and sell the yellow one.

This was posted before. I liked it so much I saved it. Harry

Good one @Harry ~ My words (or the meme I shared...) Come back to haunt me....

The honest truth as @Eugen mentioned is that the budget for 2 644's just isn't there.
That being said, Kelly has been a good sport about it and there hasn't been any or yet.

I mentioned to her having a 2nd loader at the property could be a temporary option for the rest of the season. Just to work around the iffy brakes and the steep hills... We have piles of pit run gravel at the bottom of the hill ~ last week neighbour Glen was nice and used his full size farm tractor to put some gravel into my utility trailer... After he went out for dinner I tried to do one last load ~ shovelling gravel the old fashioned way that wasn't fun at all...

Loading gravel the old fashioned way…. No Thanks! Having a loader tractor is the only way to go. Made me think maybe a project to set up a dump trailer maybe in the future!
