I'm at 29 hours. Finished about thirty miles of mowing some of the disc golf course fairways today (2 1/2 weeks of rank spring growth). In those three weeks I've been modifying Young Blue to be my new firewood machine. So far, my old homemade forks are modified to fit the new bucket. Chain hooks are welded to the bucket. The battery has been moved an inch and a half to the right to make room for a multi battery isolator which is all mounted and wired in real sanno with 10AWG boat cable. A shelf for my winch battery is bolted to the roll bar, of which the left upright now sports a nice, newly built, chainsaw scabbard. That battery is parked inside angle irons on a rubber mat and cinched down with an old GM seatbelt. My tractor tool box is on that shelf, along with a chain box that holds a 20 footer and three or four shorter choker chains. I rigged a linkage from from a handle behind the tractor to one of the remote hydraulic connection controls under the front of the seat to operate my box scraper mounted homemade wood splitter. Today I put new, longer, hydraulic lines on the splitter because the position of the remotes was different from my old Cub Cadet and the old ones didn't reach. And then, I went out and split a cart full of wood that I bucked last fall.
I've been a busy boy.
