Maxed Out The Hydraulics On This Project....

[Utopia Texas]

The past 3.5 weeks have been really busy here on Bessie's Creek and I used my NH Boomer 3050 with CVT for a variety of projects. Tore down the old 45 year old barn and moved Nursery and Pecan processing machinery to the new barn. Carried a variety of materials and machinery. One of the pieces of machinery (Nursery Container Filler)weighs in at 1600 pounds and I had to lift it 4.5 feet off the ground to a flat bed trailer. Hydraulics groaned and then quit lifting when the unit was barely inches above the trailer floor. Good thing I had the shredder on the back end for counterweight. Also pulled some posts out of the ground with concrete at the base.

Nice pictures. Looks like a lot of work getting done.

Don't forget the rear ballast. Saw the rotary cutter in the first few pics but not after

I agree, I forget the ballast sometimes.....due to laziness on my part. A before and after of the barn.

What's the plan for the concrete pad?

My plan or the wife's plan? I want to keep about 30 feet of the slab on the far left of the picture for a "BBQ"type area. The wife wants it totally removed and native coastal Bermuda planted to make it look like a park. her view is that we already have a huge deck from the back of the house out over the water where we entertain/fish/BBQ already. Look closely near the upper left in the slab picture and you can see the green stained deck. I guess we will have to arm wrestle for the answer!

I think you mean "water polo" the way I shoot basketball...

Nice spot. Nice tractor too. Nothing like having the right equipment for the job.

It would be a nice spot for a BBQ area, better start working out so you can win that arm wrestling competition.
