House Build 2023

I cleaned up around the outside until the rain stopped me. I also re-graded around my pond. I had originally made the banks too steep to mow.

That's an awesome photo of the pond with the clouds in the background. Love the little house on the island (what is that for?)

Thanks. The clouds rolled in and looked crazy. The house is for the ducks. We had a momma hatch some this week.

Cleaned up all the brick and scrap around the house and started grading. We got an all day soaking rain Monday so the driveway material is saturated. I knocked down the piles but it's gotta dry quite a bit before i can really smooth it out. Also having problems with the dozer still. It's got a new turbo now but it's having SCR problems. Komatsu had been here 4 times for it...

Finally feeling like I'm making a little bit of progress. Driveway is close enough until time to form. I'm getting better with the dozer.

 

[LittleBittyBigJohn]

Starting the dirt around the front. Got the bulk done with the dozer then the minor stuff with the 1025

You're doing a real nice job with the dirt!!!!! The more time you spend getting it perfect, the happier you will be.

Grrr i can't win with this thing!

 

[EddieWalker]

Is that an issue with the DEF? is it dirty?

 

[LittleBittyBigJohn]

It's a DEF line heater and/ or line heater relay showing no or low voltage. Intermittent issue that is either 100% fine or completely shuts down the machine.

Buddy has a Takeuchi track steer that has this problem. He had to buy a new circuit board and something else to get it going. They told him that just sitting around is the worst thing for the unit.
