TODAYS SEAT TIME

[Slowpoke Slim]

Not green like that here yet - or ever I should say.

Took the snowplow ballast out of the one-ton yesterday. Good loader practice.

I like the idea of the wooden boxes. Beats what I'm doing with just bags of sand stacked on a pallet. They always seem to fall off the pallet into the truck bed over the winter, and have to be hand stacked back on the pallet again.

2 1/2 hrs cleaning a livestock pen. 10 yrs of manure I'd bet. Spread it in the next field I had mowed last week and smoothed it out. Probably see a bumper crop of weeds next year
Having some lunch then clean the tractor, It needs it, plenty of mowing and weed abatement since the last wash.
Tractor regen cycle popped up and I had to raise rpms and just keep working...took 15-20 minutes to clear.
Seems to regen less frequently if I run at higher rpms like mowing. Seems like it has been about 50 hrs between cycles.

Nutin. I'm mad at my tractor

Why is that ?

I am trying to track down a problem with my 4 in 1. Been frustrating. Gonna try again today

 

[scootr]

I had a 4 in 1 on my last tractor. Thing I didn't care for was it would invariably leak down and gap open. I got in the habit of bumping the jaw cylinders every time I got on it and eventually one cylinder needed a rebuild after 14 yrs of that... it was handy cleaning up debris and pulling t posts when we upgraded the fence.

I have a love hate with it. Actually with my tractor too LOL

My first post in TBN - thought I would share my seat time today with my son.
He now has enough strength to steer (3 years old). Proud moment for dad today.

Welcome to TBN.

I have feeling your going to less and less seat time in the future.

I just did the same with one of my grandboys (3) . . . what a great feeling!

 

[BackRoad]

That boy drives a clean looking tractor!

I sure miss having those little fellers around...

 

[Jstpssng]

I told myself that it wasn't going on again... aluminum housings and 3pth backhoes are a bad combination. But I have 4 trees to get in the ground and no desire to dig the holes by hand. I still need to tune the holes up with a shovel but this did the major work.

 

[Gordon Gould]

Apple trees ??? I wouldn't mind having one of those if I had some easy ground. But all the ground I have here is to boney.

I've got half a dozen little projects that would sure benefit from one of those add-on digging mochines.

Bury a gutter/downspout run-off pipe, plant a few trees like you've done, trench for a power line to the shed, clean out some ditches.

It looks pretty capable actually - - - I suspect as long as you go easy with it.

That's what I thought, and have done a lot of work with it. Then I started paying attention to how it twists when going across uneven ground. They have a reputation of ripping the back of the housing off.

I could get a subframe for a newer model BH and modify it, the way that another TBN member did. Instead though, I plan to bring my father's TO35 home, which will handle it just fine. (The BH was also his.)

We've seen an example of your rocks. I have about 20 fruit trees planted: mostly antique apples but I also have a few pears, cherries and plum trees. This year I'm just replacing 2 apple trees which didn't survive and am trying a couple of peach trees.

 

[Gordon Gould]

I never thought about the twisting and torquing with all that weight traveling on uneven ground.

on the fruit trees
