Good morning!!!!

[Popgadget]

The woods mower I had it set for 3 remotes so I could lift each deck independently

Could you run it with a deck picked up, or would it destroy the driveshafts?
I have the progressive plumbed on one remote, because I can’t run it with any deck lifted.

No and I forgot one time and destroyed the drive shaft on one side. I changed it to one remote for all 3 decks to avoid that mistake again

I used to have a Toro 580D that had the decks all driven hydraulically, same 16 foot swath, and you could pick them up independently to make it narrower while mowing.
I got rid of it because it required a lot of maintenance, another engine, battery, 40 gallons of hydraulic oil, etc. Toro is also very proud of their parts. Much happier pulling a mower behind the Kubota.

Getting the broken nipple out proved to be challenge, but success. Plumbing fixed, filter cleaned out a bit , system functioning.

Interior mowing finished. Sophie on herScag, me on her BX. Team effort.

I believe some of the bush hogs can lift with deck running and initially thought this would too but only small lifts to get over something. but it only broke the Ujoint when I forgot

Good early (Thursday) arvo. Overnight Low was a balmy 11C & I awoke to 15C, slightly overcast with the odd breeze. It's presently 23.9C.

A round of hay was put/set-up in Paddock #4 last evening.

A busy morning starting with a video call to my Aunt in Burlington, Ontario, then it was over to a Flu-jab session at 1100.

It should be a quiet rest of the arvo, followed by dinner & meeting this evening. Hopefully home by 2130.

That's about it, take care all.

Welding all finished a couple of hours ago:

Came down for dinner caught the rest of the News Hour while eating then after that watched Nature and Nova on PBS.

Woman just headed over to the neighbor's to put her dogs away for the night.

But She made me a pot of coffee before She left.

Trying to summon up the motivation to head back up to the shop to do a little wire brushing and then start priming.

Probably shouldn't have ate as much as I did ...
