I mentioned this project earlier and even shared this in the Homemade attachments thread over in Shop and Tools but it belongs here too as some other folks have discussed this as an idea.
I tested it with what I thought was 1200 lbs but it was closer to 1500 as I forgot to add the weight of the forks and fork frame too.

Hydraulic of some sort.
No arrows or thermometer, so I'm guessing filter indicator or low hydraulic oil (or both, two sensor to one idiot light)

This is how it was on my 331 and currently on my 2001 T190... means filter restriction or low charge pressure on my T190. That was an expensive fix when it started coming on frequently. Had to put a triple pump stack in it because the charge pump was cooked.

I would be much more concerned with the lightning bolt warning.

The next attachment built for the E48 is a grading bucket. I still need to add some side wear plates but ran out of time before needing to use it on a job yesterday. I am limited by some of my tooling on size of plate fabrication so I had to go piecemeal and stitch some things. Just means a little more welding is all.
The side scallops and back strap that splices the two sections together is AR400.
The grading edge came from Titan, but we will see how it holds up. The tooth on the ripper is wearing faster than I thought it would.
Helped a friend with re-grading his driveway, fixing some yard slope problems, and installed a french drain between the hillside and his driveway because water kept coming down the hillside out of the woods (new neighborhood behind him messed up the runoff these days and rural counties don't think of that shit properly before approving these site developments) and this bucket was great for backfilling the french drain with 57 stone where the skid steer couldn't easily get to.
Between the angle blade feature, the grading bucket, and the new 325G with a 78" finish / material bucket... we got a ton of stuff done in a rather short time.
