Well, I just spent 6 hrs bouncing around 126 acres of pasture, pulling a fertilizer buggy with my L5740. I need 4shorts air ride seat.!
Yesterday I tore up my kitchen tile (along with gutting my whole kitchen) and brought the tractor up next to the house, raised the bucket up level with the window, and filled the bucket with demo'd tile. Then I'd go dump it in the "bagster" about 40' away and return for another load. All in all not much seat time but sure saved a lot of work.
It was nice to use the bucket again, it mostly just sits and rusts ever since I got the grapple a few years ago.
Got 7 inches of snow over night. My Expedition would go through that easily of course, but my wife's car would not. So I took a 1/2 hour and cleared a path down the driveway before heading for work. Then I got another hour in after work finishing up. The rims on my BX were full of snow when I got done, so I just ran the toe of my boot around the inside of each rim before I put it into the garage. The last one, left rear, started to hiss and squirt out my fluid. So I got it in the garage quick and jacked it up and spun the valve stem to the top. It felt really wobbly, so I'm sure the rubber just gave out. I didn't even feel it when I "kicked" it. Guess I'll be calling around tomorrow to see if anybody can salvage the fluid and put in a new stem.
When I was a kid once I was kicking the snow out of the wheels on my dads tractor after he plowed and accidentally kicked the valve stem. Broke the thing half way off, let's just say I was not the favorite kid that day.
