TODAYS SEAT TIME

[Xfaxman]

The guy we buy our horse hay from delivered two 14 bale bundles this morning:

Picked up one with the V417 and Monster Grapple:

Put it on the dolly:

Picked up the second bundle:

Took it in and set it on top of the first bundle, but I got distracted and did not get a picture.

Here are both bundles on the dolly, tarped to keep the bird poop off of the hay:

I had never seen those bundles until a few months ago. Have they been around long? Those which I have seen are made up of nice, tight, well prepared bales of hay.

They have been around longer than we have been using them. Here is a previous Post with 21 bale bundles: Hay Bale Bundle

The guy we buy from now does 14 bale bundles and delivers them on a truck with a small dump bed

Spent 30 minutes moving slush from my driveway. I’m glad I partly finish fabricating a cab as it was raining.

I like the looks of that cab !! Are you planning to put windows in it or stick with the plastic. Any cab is better than no cab in that weather. I have a plywood roof over me but wide open sides. Just finished plowing about 3" of fluff off a mile long road I take care of. Things are froze up solid again and I was able to push the banks all the way back. It's 10* F here now. Below 0* tonight they say.

Spent an hour or so in the nice warm cab moving just a couple of inches of snow. Ran the back blade backwards on it to sweep dome off and stir up a bit of gravel, and hopefully allow it to freeze without icing. For some reason I didn't get any after pictures, not sure of what happened.
Pulling with the blade reversed

I sat on the tractor and thought about doing something for a few minutes. Then I got the keys to the Cobra, remembering it needed running, and got about 50 miles of back country road driving done . Washed it and put it away. The tractor can wait. It was a sunny 73º today. Feels like Christmas in southern CA.

That must have been rough but sometimes sacrifices have to be made!

Yesterday was the final phase of Leaf Rodeo 2024. This is a tag-team event involving leaf pickup with the CC Ultima ZTXS5 54 (could CC make that name a little longer, please?) and the JD 2520 with the carryall box on the front. I can empty the bagger about 8 times before the box is full, so it holds about 80 bushels.

After leaves are collected and transferred to the box, the box goes to the compost pile.

Final results.

Go hide somewhere till at least after Christmas!
