- Kioti DK50SE HST w/FEL, Gravely 60" ZTR Mower. Stihl MS290 (selling), CS261, & FS190 + Echo CS400 & 2010 F-350 6.4 PSD snowplow truck
I got another hour, maybe 90 min seat time going over the NEW 4"+ of snow dropped since last night.
I think my little car can make it up & down my hill on the driveway loop, but
I'm not sure It can make it through the 14"+ of slush and F350 tire ruts for the quarter mile to the pavement...
Here are yesterday's pix... I did not have time to take any today (needed to get in the house and work).
Be well all!

PS - The pix are way out of order. Sorry but the manage attachments tool rearranges them using some off logic...
The firat pic is with the tractor, not snowing hard. Then I waled up the driveway taking a pic looking down and looking up, walked to the next spot, repeat. Third from last is the one with my little red car, the 2nd to last is the one looking down past pop-up camper towards the gate (I did not walk that far). The last is the HEAVY snow tat started as I got back to the carport...

- 2009 Kubota RTV 900, 2009 Kubota B26 TLB & 2010 model LS P7010
Was going to use my B26 to lift some broken pine trees off the fence line but key was missing from gate lock. BIL and I went over in my RTV and looked for the key, couldn't find it so I Picked the lock and was going back to get my tractor when brother in law asked if I would help him grease up his lawnmower. While greasing the deck spindles, we discovered that the deck mounting bracket was almost completely broken off. So after completing the greasing, he drove it to my shop where we commenced to remove the deck anchor points and slide the deck out. I beat the bent L shaped bracket back in position on one side, tacked it with my Miller stick machine, then beat it in place on the other side and welded it all back together. While down there I noticed the other bracket was only welding with about 1 1/4" long tack welds, so I welded the other side up fully also. Then BIL said while we have it off, lets check the blades, so I flipped the deck upside down and the blade were about as dull as they could get, so I got my impact and removed the 3 blades. Got out my 4.5" grinder and sharpened all three blades up. While sharpening them, I noticed that where the lift fins bend up, they had worn a substantial groove in the blade where the bend transition started. I got the welding machine back out and put a bead of weld in the worn groove to make it back to original thickness. Finally painted the welded areas and put the deck back on. That 10 minute grease job turned into over 3 hours of work by the time we got it all back together. Now he is ready to mow grass just as soon as we get some growing in a month or so.
Maybe tomorrow I can get some seat time with the TLB removing the broken trees that we started to do today.

Gary, it is pretty amazing how one thing leads to another and the state that "working" equipment can actually be in.
My wife took this picture as I headed out to clean the snow out of a woods road this morning after yesterdays big storm.

I was asked to make a plow attachment for a friends tractor. Any good plans out there how to make this thing? Just starting to look in to how this will be done. He is tired of turning his head with a back blade. This set up looks pretty good.
