TODAYS SEAT TIME

[Green Acres Homestead]

Today my seat time was the joy of driving my tractor into the garage.

I finished building a cab that is 80 inches high so it will fit in my garage which is 82 high.

Nice work. You should be proud.

Nice work. You should be proud.

It is great for a Mickey Mouse job. Cost me $500 instead of a factory one that cost $8000.

Now you need to build a roofed grilling station for your snow covered grill.

Made command decision to use the blower tomorrow after this storm is over. Started the 2520 in the shop long enough to move it 10 feet to remove the loader and attach the blower. Might have 8 to 10 inches to blow.

Looks like your fighting tools are ready to go. Now about last year’s coveralls: do they still fit?

The struggle is real!

Added about 10 minutes as cut some fire wood loaded the bucket and then back to the house. I like the temp in the house to be between 60 & 70 F some people like the temps
80+ F way to hot for going out when outside temp is 30 or 40 F

Got about .8
No seat
My $100 snow blower worked really well this morning

 

[Runner]

Some snowblower p%rn from this AM. Had 8 - 10" with drifts to 18".

Machine is in the shop melting/drying now. I will leave the blower on for awhile in case the street plows block the driveway later.

 

[PJSprog]

Got the driveway cleared. We only got maybe 5-6" of mixed ice and snow, but had one drift across the driveway of over 2 feet. Tractor made quick work of it.

 

[Williy]

Here no snow but temp fell to 21 F

Tuff seat time today.

I guess it’s an end of an era. After 35 years our careers are over, our children are on their own and doing well, and the last of our pets namely Effie i buried today with his brothers. I wonder what the next chapter will be.

I came to the conclusion the to be happy it’s about being able to give up things. When we are 2 we have to give up our ultra ego, when we are 5 we have to come out from our mothers apron, when we are 16 we have to give up a romantic relation, when we our older we have to give up our health then we eventually have to give up life itself. Don’t worry be happy life.

RIP to our pets…Sam, Carlisle, Blacky, Casper, Baby and Effie.

Nice. 20 km away they got 2 feet of snow but none here. There were some beautiful skidoo picture posted from the ski doo club here in Cape Breton Nova Scotia Canada/USA maybe.

Two storms in the last 5 days so spent about 10 hours blowing snow. It was cold so the snow was fluffy and only 6 inches deep. The little L 2502 is impressive.

We had another nuisance snow here maybe 2-3 inches with a bit of rain and sleet under it. So a couple of hours of shoveling and the tractor scrapping again.

I plowed a little snow today with my new tinkertoy tractor,

It did a pretty good job.

Mr. Sawyer Rob, what are your planned uses for the new tractor? You're generally using big iron.

You got it in the right color, by the way!

I already have a Kubota close to that size and it needs a bit of work that I don't want to spend the money on. The diesel and pto driveline are still good, so it will probably stay on the pto generator. The new one will be used to plow a little snow, till the gardens and do small jobs like that.

I have been thinking about replacing the old one for the last couple years and I knew exactly what tractor I wanted to get. I found a dealer that had two of them at "I want to get rid of them" prices, so I bought it at a very good price.

So far, I like the updates the new tractor has compared to the old one.
