1950 bales cut, baled, and stacked in the barn. Nothing left to do but pack up and go home... Backing the wagon onto the trailer wasn't as hard as it could have been :cool2:

After finally busting the link assembly on my Land Pride Rear Blade, I went ahead and added a hydraulic cylinder. Now, I can offset the blade from the seat. It's not fully automatic like the their RBT series, but it beats fighting with the pins and the blade while trying to move it from side...

Battled with a tree stump for a bit this morning. Was too heavy to lift, so I had to drag it to the back of the trailer and then roll it in with the FEL. Hawk

Got a little time in two of my favorites seats yesterday. I loaded a couple of yards of aged horse manure from my pile and then ran to the local nursery and picked up about six yards of composted leaves for a friend of mine who is constructing a raised garden in her back yard.

Spent a couple hours spreading manure today...

After having to make two trips anytime I needed to move a pile of manure, I can now pull my tractor behind my dump truck and get it all in one move! Still need to add hooks for the safety chains though...

Got in around 4 hours, or so, yesterday scraping about 2 inches of top soil (aged horse manure) off of a horse paddock. The owner wants to put down a couple of inches of bluestone dust next week. It's currently snowing, so I just might get in a few more hours of seat time tomorrow...

The rain held off and I was able to bushhog about 20 acres on Saturday. Mom and Pop came out to help, but we weren't the only ones in the field that day:shocked:

It was my first year custom cutting for a farm down the road. Eventhough it was a dry season, we still managed to get about about 1900 bales with only two cuttings Hawk

I got the new tires in and mounted them yesterday. Why is it that sometimes stuff does not want to go back together and easy as it came apart?? One of the wheels just flat out refused to go back on the axle. I tried both sides and got the same result. It would slide on except for the last ｼ...

I came across this B5200 that the owner is looking to let go. I would like to make him a fair offer. It is 2WD and runs fine. The owner started it for me while I was there looking at it. He will include a 4ft blade and another similiar tractor (torn apart, but he claims all the pieces are...

Howdy folks, I picked this up yesterday from a nice fella up in Pennsylvania. The red looks to be its original color. The wheel pattern is a 5-spoke star. It is ten feet wide. I did not see any data plate or any thing with a make and model number. It is in great shape (well, it does need...

Back in April, I had about 75 yards left of a 20+ acre field to finish cutting when I noticed that I wasn't getting a full 20 foot cut. I then noticed that the shaft on the left wing had separated from the main gear housing. My first thought (hope) was that is was just a shear pin. Nope, the...

GL, Here are some pictures of the D-rings I had the dealer install. You can't see the ones at the top all that well, but there are two at the top, two in the in middle, and two at the rear of the trailer. Hawk

Another feature I find convenient is the remote control. I can raise and lower the body from the driver's seat, while I am headed back to the gate at the dump, or I can move the truck while raising/lower the body to spread the load. The control that I plug into the trailer still works too. I...
