TODAYS SEAT TIME

hooked up the man lift, and my landscaper did a great job of trimming pine trees along the lane.
They changed off, the power pole made both their arms sore...better them than me.
Glass roof super helpful seeing what was going on.

Dug a trench for a project I should have started years ago. Running some 6/3 wire and conduit from main breaker in house and installing a sub panel in my garage for legit 220v circuits. Currently have a heavy gauge extension cord running from the dryer outlet. :ashamed:

Very tight quarters and pretty steep next to the fir tree. If I had a bigger tractor than my BX I could not do this job or get around this side of the house. So happy I settled on a BX vs. B size even though I am lift challenged at times.

Looks good! Hope you had fun working in those tight quarters. You're right...anything bigger and you wouldn't fit!

Unfortunately for me, that kind of work always requires a dang shovel!!

I did have to use a pick and a shovel next to the house and garage. And I’m feeling it this morning! Hadn’t done that in quite awhile. Guess I’m more out of shape than I thought. I can’t now imagine digging the 40ft trench all by hand!

Put on my leaf bucket and starting hauling loads up past the tree line.

While my wife mulched leaves with the ZTR Hustler I used the chain saw to cut up a large bald cypress. Got the tractor and loader to move the wood out back to the wood pile.

that's creative! Never saw that before but like the idea, though I use a pull behind blower and just blow everything into the woods.
Problem there is it builds up into a wall after a while. If just leaves, they rot nicely. But pine needles seem to stick around a lot longer.

I built a solid oak weight box for the rear of my Gravely garden tractor, needed for snow blowing, and then
it moved to the front of my first tractor, an IH 254, Mitsubishi, fine tractor, light, and light in front end.
TractorData.com International Harvester 254 tractor information
Had two hundred pounds of weights from an old exercise machine, and they all stacked in there tightly.
So building your own implement doesn't always require a welder. My woodworking is a lot better than my welding...
However too much bouncing while field mowing did in my weight box. I later fixed it but never mounted it again.
Waiting for another opportunity...

Finally got the pasture mowed one last time for the year. not too bad at 63° yesterday.

 

[Gordon Gould]

That's gonna look good all mowed. The 63* must have been nice. I spent yesterday doing the final preparations for the first real snowfall followed by near 0* temps which was predicted for today and tonight. So far it looks like the snow part might be a fizzle but you never know.
