What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

[Diggin It]

Absolutely NO ONE is allowed on my property unescorted. If they're here without me present, they're trespassing. If it falls on them while they're trying to mess with it, tough.

That said, I would place straps from the rafters to help immobilize it. I've been thinking about hanging a $40 one ton chainfall from the rafters above it with a load leveler to help balance it. At around 700 pounds, the chainfall and leveler would handle it, but I'm not sure the rafters would. Ground the bucket, then use the hoist to raise it just off the pins, then place jackstands and relieve the weight... maybe.

Yes i know my tractor shed the rafters would fail my backhoe is around 1ton even though i can place mine with outriggers down i put a chain that i made the right length hooks to the bottom of each stabilizer because otherwise the hydraulics bleed down and its grounded! I also put jack stands under it i might be too worried about it but i also have kids that even when warned will climb on it !

I finally got time to install my Christmas present, pat's quick hitch!

It got a little dark on me before I got around to taking pictures!

Went out to the shop for something else, walked by the tractor and gave her a pat on the loader..... that is about it... too cold to take her out....

Just realized I haven't even see the Blue Djinn for a couple of days. Had to go make sure it was still there.

Got the backhoe attached to the little tractor and started to dig around a stump dumping the backhoe bucket into the front end loader on the LS will be digging on it for a bit before trying to pull it out its about 3 ft in diameter!

I am sitting in my home shop looking at the Farmhand Quick Hitch from Lee Agra that arrived just before Christmas-wishin I could get to my XR4155 and get it installed ( weather sucks at my property location at the moment)-I am so looking forward to having a cat 2/cat 1 compatible quick hitch and ending the fussing with side links and top links!!! Even with tnt it is a pita!

I'm a bit confused it seems like the tractor side is dual cat 1 or cat 2 but the implement side is strictly cat 1.
Are you switching the hitch between different tractors?

 

[GSVette]

The Farmhand is supposed to be spaced and sized Cat 2 on the 3 pt side and cat 1 on implement side. Almost all of my implements are cat 1.

Little Blue hasn't done much lately. Mostly just hauling stuff around, wood and brush in the bucket, tools on a trailer, tub of lard in the seat and so on.
