TODAYS SEAT TIME

[i7win7]

You can get a trip plow which will tilt when you hit a rock, rather than snag on it.
I have a 101 Ford single bottom which will do that, otherwise I would have broken something major a long time ago.

For those unfamilar with the old drawbar plows - notice the rope used to lower and raise it.

These have spring loaded hooks and are used with a twisted clevis and plow separates from tractor when large rook or root is encountered. Many not so smart (noobie) farmers secured the rope to the seat suspension springs on early tractors ex. IH model M. Amazing how fast your butt drops, quickly learn that bailing wire can be your friend.

I worked on some gutter drain lines. I started with the backhoe but quickly decided I didn’t want to fix that mess and traded tools.

Is that another of your machines or a rental?

The Kubota and the black trailer is mine. One of my buddies owns the trencher.

Used the battery Milwaukee saws all for some quick cuts.

In my shop I was needing some 3 phase power for a knee mill I have been rebuilding. Initially I was going to put the phase converter up high in the back corner but once the converter arrived I figured out really quick that there wasn't any practical way I could get it up there so I moved the location out by the garage door so I could use the tractor. A dry run showed me the forks wouldn't work, even when turned upside down, so I mounted the cherry picker on the forks which allowed me to get under the ceiling garage door track and over the shelf.



A little bit of a tight fit but it worked.

Today's seat time was moving my cement mixer using the Armstrong... my Kubota's up in the field with the BH pump stuck to the PTO shaft. Apparently I exceeded the life span of the PTO adapter. No big deal, fixing it just wasn't on the list of things I had time to do today.

Mine is newer, doesn't have ropes and doesn't separate... rather it just trips a pin, the plow bottom raises, once you're past the past the rock you shift into reverse, drop the 3 pth and lock it back into place.
Ford made these with 1,2, and 3 bottom.

Can that shelving hold the weight of that converter. Those things are super heavy. Ive installed those in the past but always use heavy duty shelf brackets and heavy wood shelf.

I've been going to put mine up on a shelf for many years now, but it just hasn't happen yet!

So, it's just sits on the floor...

How many hp is yours, Reb?
