I refuse to mow before tax day

That just doesn't happen 'round here. Two mowings for me. And I love it! Now come June I am not as giddy.

I would need to carry a very long chain hooked to my pickup to pull myself out of the mud every 10 feet.

Yesterday I attempted to mow, two rounds and the belt fell off the King Kutter FM60, investigated and the upper bearing on the middle spindle is shot... $90 for 3 new bearing/seal sets and I'll get it together in a couple weeks... sucks that the riding mower is out of commission right now too...

Switched to my 5 tooth ripper thing to work where I am going to build a shop and broke a shear bolt trying to pull a root up.

I apparently wasn't meant to go tractoring last night...

I drilled 4 more post holes... that was the easy part. Setting the posts, tamping in the dirt, that was the hard part. Had to line them up just right, its a corner by the highway, lined up and good side of the post 'just so'...

Peeled the posts earlier, got about 12 done. Easy to tell which ones I cut yesterday vs last weekend... that wasnt much easier than tamping the 4 posts.

Driveway was a little soft for pickups so I used the tractor to move masonry materials to house. This is the picture after I got it unstuck. Gotta love mud season.

That's after you got it unstuck? I hope that you didn't lose your new building materials in the mud.

For sure !! I realize it can't always be done but I am glad I can usually park the tractor during mud season now. Good picture.

Had bucket full of 10 bags of dry mortar and block for fireplace but luckily all stayed dry. Good thing I have the OFA studded chains. Exhaust was sputtering under the mud.
