Recent discussions about removing trees coupled with the current mild local weather had me motivated to tackle some overgrowth that was too big to get at with my JD 413 rotary cutter last summer. A stand of white pines. Many in the 4"- 6" dia. range.

Bolted the toothbar back onto the loader bucket today and went at it for while this afternoon.

Here's some pics./w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif

Did the same two days ago. Branch pulled out the right rockshaft hitch pin on the 3PH, the linkage jammed on the end and sheared the rockshaft pin. $100 later, I safety wired the hitch pin in place but will soon install a bolt with washer and lock nut. Normally its not a problem when you lose the hitch pin since the arm pops off. When you have a backhoe, the mounting plate clearance is close so a loose linkage arm can jam at the end of the rockshaft pin.

Looks like good soil too. Used to be a horse corral.

Sure felt like springtime today here today.

Local weather station keeps reminding us we had 40" of snowfall during the month of March last year./w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif
