Just got my new SC2400 delivered last night, or at least most of it.

Good luck with the sandbagging.

Sounds like you guys are having a rough time of it up there lately.

Oh, by the way, nice new rig.

just got home
and a suprise my son pulled up He is living in Moorhead going to school at the tech college for diesel tech.
He stopped by the Garden Hut in Fargo and brought my box blade and my tiller home with him.
I had mentioned it to him last night and He said he was moving some of his house hold stuff home to his apt here as he is done with class study and is starting his work internship at the shop that is sponsoring him. He has worked for that shop since he was a sophomore in high school, they actually paid his tuition for both years in exchange for him working for them for a couple years his boss is a personal friend of mine, in fact my older son also works for him but he didnt want anything to do with school once he was done at HS. They offered to pay his tuition too but differnt strokes for different strokes
anyway here are a few more pics

and as for the deck I hope I dont have more snow to remove lol
been playing with the bb a bit but the drive is so darned muddy its just soup
roughed it up with the scarificer teeth dug a bit of a ditch to get the water to flow and put it away.

 

[gordyy]

guess it helps if you actually put the pics on too
oh well too excited to do much lol

 

[gordyy]

the kid had such a grin on his face when I got home and saw him driving down the driveway to unload I thought Id have to chisel it off
a pleasent suprise

Congrats on your new investment...looks like old man winter might have met his match.

finally used it for something this weekend other than playing in the mud in the driveway.
took it for a drive down the road and filled it at the station a 1/4 mile away.
we are experiencing a major flood up here was stopped by and engineer and asked if I could fit thru a small gate
went back dropped the 60" box blade put the tiller on for ballast and unloaded a trailer load of sandbags thru a fence behind some houses was very impressed with traction with the loader I know I had at least 750 lbs on at one time
Then when I got home I had to play with the tiller very strong even if the ground was a bit wet
had fun got it muddy and probably picked up a few weeks work hauling sandbags out after the flood is over

 

[diesel_nut]

You'll have it paid for in no time..........

 

[gordyy]

haha paid for thats good
I just hope to get enough to pay for the insurace to take it off my property
although it wasnt as bad as ai thought

 

[gordyy]

finally put the mower on today to help out a freind (still havent bought our country place still having too much trouble with my new knee to dare sign my life away and my lawn here in town isnt really big enough to turn this around on LOL) His 24hp murray went down the HST smoked on him 50 ft into the lawn, So I put the deck on ( first time a person should read the instruction manual a bit) so after dinking around for 15 minutes got out the book and read the steps taken to put it on, doing it the right way took 4 whole minutes. What is it they say real men don't need instructions, haha
what a mower his hill is very steep enough so that part of it I needed to be in 4 wh drive to get up it, I could not believe the cut of the mower smooth clean very nice finish, and the speed on level ground it was mowing at about 7 or 8 mph in high range on the hst,
very impressive can't wait to get permission from the doc to be on it for more than 2 hrs a day, I do believe I could get into using this thing

 

[scoutcub]

What is it about those owners manuals we men hate??!!! Sounds familiar.
Good to hear on the mower deck. I currently have a ZTT that I'm using on my small lawn but have the 60'' mmm waiting in the garage for when I move to the bigger property/lawn.....can't wait!

Hope your health continues to improve so you can enjoy some more seat time!

on another note my son managed to take down a streat sign at my buddies yesterday haha a private sign He just kind of forgot there was a loader still on the front as we used the hitch on the bucket to move all the trailers and skid steer atttachments he has around to mow under them
no real damage just a little time to rest the post
a nice laugh
aint it funny the way a screw up that doesn't really hurt anyone is hilarious

 

[chubyboy]

haha paid for thats good
I just hope to get enough to pay for the insurace to take it off my property
although it wasnt as bad as ai thought
