New Tractor and Rainy Days

[rider7767]

Tough times. I have a new tractor setting in the shop just wanting to get out and play. 3 days of mucky rainy weather.

Go ahead! It won't melt! :dance1:

I fear facing the same issue. When I pull the trigger on a tractor, I will face 1 of 2 scenarios... Come across the yard, or go along the berm of the road at the top and come straight down the yard. There may be months of the year that I simply can not get the tractor away from the garage because of the angle of the yard, and that will make me sad.

Holy Moses! That is some slope! I'd move! Haha That would certainly increase the "Pucker" factor.

My yard is easy, but still don't want to muck it up

Very nice and very peaceful looking! I wouldn't want to muck it up either.

What about the sides of the area you excavated last week? Are you doing a retainer wall, or sloping down and putting grass seed on it? I have watched all of your YouTube videos, so I sort of feel like I have been there at the house helping you!

I was surprised how well your bucket was able to peel off hard ground with the curl cylinders, you have no teeth on the bar and yet you were getting nice scoops of dirt on the left side there from one push and curl move. Impressive for such a small machine and not using any teeth to fracture the ground.

I would move too, let the next guy kill him self mowing. I suppose you could come in with some retaining walls/gabion cages and make it a bit more friendly, but at what cost...

It looks mowed already. How did that get done?
