What have you done to your Branson today?

   / What have you done to your Branson today? #1,371  
Well did a little project today that I've been wanting to do for several years and just hadn't bothered to do.
I bought a monitor and a couple of wireless cameras and a rechargeable battery pack, it came in a week 10 days ago, today the temperature was much nicer so I went and mounted it. I already see one problem with it, think I'll have to buy a nother monitor or two and another camera battery.

Monitor and bracket, (this took the longest to do)

First use was to attach my forks,

the cameras view, nicer even though a bit strange,

the magnetic camera battery and the magnet mounted camera on the forks,

Hydraulics are such a game changer; have lots of fun!
Thanks, I was getting off the tractor to angle my snow blade. And I am going to put a three spool on it for tilt.

Nice Lou! I have been thinking about something similar. I was afraid I would not be able to see the screen well with the sun. Any issues with glare?

Not so far the monitor has somewhat of a built in shade.

Anyone else miss seeing what @Branson Bob has been up to? He always has good projects going and we have not heard from him in a while. Hope he is well.

Who in the world is Branson Bob? Anyway, he was last seen on June 4, 2023- not long ago. You can always send him a message.

Replaced the orings in the loader hydraulic quick connects. The connectors are Parker 6600's and this pack for $3.99 from TSC worked.

I just put a couple more hours on her. Tilled in an acre of buckwheat that had gone to seed, just before some rains. This past spring that ground tilled so hard, virgin ground. This time, I ran it in 540E and the tractor just hummed along! So glad I bought a tractor with 540E… easier on the tractor and easier on fuel… also, a bit less noisy. She has about 16 hours on her now.
