Yes digging drain ditches can be a pain due to mud, packing everywhere!
Look's great so far!
Cheer's, Neil.
Yes i can understand that a mechanical coupler get stuck in the mud! I have operated a few different Volvo 140:s and they had hyd couplers and they got stuck as well sometimes when the bucket had sat to long in the coupler and rust and other effects made it stuck.

But some "shaking" with the bucket and some light pressing made it come loose at last.

Shouldnt be a problem on the scale coupler i hope!

I also turned down 2 more comfortable stickgrips for my radio, turned out pretty good, im all new to machining parts, i wanted to make them a little concave where i hold my fingers, but i couldnt figure out how to make it concave on the manual lathe, very hard to turn it even over the whole part, any tips?
