Our 40s never came over an inch rain lots of frozen trees still 32 outside weatherman missed again I'm afraid. Less than five inches of snow this year but lots of ice recently

22 here, off and on sun today. Got a couple more inches of snow last night, plowed out everything here, then went to the shop to snowblower and shovel that place. Really a bit tired, the wife is going out for carry out Chinese for dinner. I like the veggies and brown rice, and of course, egg rolls. We are watching dogs for a friend of ours, and a neighbor came by, her mother is sick, so we are caring for that little guy too. 4 dogs in the house is a lot. ��

I picked a good day to work from home.

It was 59 now, showers, I worked outside and in the garage all day in a sweatshirt and got hot.

I spent about 4-5 hours building my own sleeve hitch adapter out of the many ball mounts and old sleeve hitches I have around. Only company making 2” reciever style adapter wants $59+ $8 shipping. I built mine with $75 worth of parts and 4 hours labor! What a savings! But I had fun, first welding since summer. I have all these sleeve hitch attachments and they’re the perfect size for my property. No laughing at the welding!

I have generator ready. Calling for 40mph winds with all this ice. Power went off but came back.
And a barn fire near me.

Another possibility is a front loader plow for the tractor...to keep it in budget, it would have to be manual angling though.

Roy I priced a Boss for my John Deere it was about 3200 but that was with fabricating a plate for the Quick Connect of the loader and hooking into the 3rd valve to angle

Poor Whipper came to us defective. She does not have the fetch gene or the learn how to fetch gene. I try to teach her till I get tired of fetching.

That would have been rough on the hands and knees, too.

Off road diesel fuel was $2.29 yesterday. Bulk delivered.

I paid $4.566/US gallon yesterday for the same diesel.

30 deg and raining, everything is ice looks like an early morning clearing ice on the driveway so my daughter can get to work.

Toppop nice job on the hitch

toppop,
I learned long ago that if one cannot do a better job than the other, do NOT criticize, ridicule or laugh at whatever it is they accomplished. You do weld better than me.
