It was cool enough here in Michigan to enjoy a bowl today. But ours was out of a Progresso can.

You may need to help him a little more Kyle.

He should be doing the hand work......

Yes, there is a bit of "handiwork" too.

Tractor + 6ft Cheater + Perseverance

Now waiting for new bolts to arrive.

I told you it would take a cheater pipe.... Glad you got them off. I have to watch it to keep myself from cursing taking those confoundit things off.

Storms have for 3 days now, SPLIT, gone past, and re-formed. No rain other than a few wayward drops. I guess we need a hurricane....

Kyle, now that you bring it up, I did do a considerable amount of talking not suitable for public consumption in my other attempts. But this last attempt was all positive.

Changed out rotary for flail and got some regular mowing done.
Currently waiting for my diesel guy to deliver.

Roy.
First second week October when mother nature has her paint brush out painting leaves just before they close the road for the season...jacket must.

I expect we'll go before the end of September...I'm glad you mentioned the road closure...didn't know that! Would have been a real bear driving two hours to a closed road!

Well, not a total write off of the day...picked up and mounted the AF11e (84") plow



Chipper is still on the 3PH. Used it a couple weeks back and haven't needed the tractor since.
I reckon I'll rig the blower on the 3PH in a few weeks...
The plow is manual angle since I use the rear remotes for the blower chute. Depending on use, I might consider adding hydraulic angling next year.


Before anyone asks...that is a rubber "wear" bar on the bottom of the blade. Optional and easier on the asphalt then the steel wear bar (which I have too). This blade does, as I'd written, angle, but it has a provision to "lock" the blade (that is, prevent tripping) so it can be used as a "bulldozer" blade too. Doubt I'll ever use that option.

Looks sweet Roy, You will enjoy that before long. Ed

Considering the last few years, I'd be fine if it has little usage this winter!
