That would provide over a months worth of firewood. Shame to burn it outside.

its more a shame it died before i could save it for lumber it was one tree grafted onto another and the tree that grew onto it i think killed a huge black walnut but was too far gone to save any of the wood if it had been saved years ago before i bought this place that tree would be worth about 8 to 10k !

How many of my fellow morons managed to poke a hole in the Hydraulic filter while trying to put the backhoe on my 4140H? That'll piss on your parade quickly.

well dont know about your model but on mine filter is right under left side of tractor and i could see hitting it if trying to remove sub frame for front end loader but now that the sub frame is on its guarded by it where is it located on your4140H? oh and update your profile with your tractor and maybe what state it helps sometimes when asking advice easier for people to give weather related help!

Gave it another four gallons of pink drink, then did a bit of mowing. Just haven't felt like doing much lately with all the rain and mud.

When little man decided he needed a nap, Dad stepped in and finished the job! Well, almost, still have to smooth it out with a rake and plant some grass.

Not very productive, but took delivery yesterday morning.
Drove around property for about 20 minutes just to get adapted to different feeling, center of gravity, etc on various places.

50 hour service on my XR4155HC. Went pretty smooth except somebody needs to teach LS’s assembly folks the concept of ‘3/4 to one full turn after gasket contacts’-cripes I needed a cheater bar to break loose the filters!!!

Got my flail mounted

And first couple of hours mowing. An interesting area comprising of various slopes, up, down, across. Area pretty dry so no issues. Will have to see how it goes with the grass wet. Finding the R1s are a rougher ride the the R4s I’m used to.. hydraulic top link and side shift on flail worked well.
