Bansil's Shenanigans begin again....

[EddieWalker]

You know what you're doing with metal!!!!

 

[Bansil]

Thanks!

Now to today's trials and tribulations...

You know how your supposed to read and understand the manual on a piece of equipment?

And yes the wt. Limits for the FEL based on distance from pivot point....are real and a fact


You would of thunk?

So...950#'s plus bucket 3 ft from pivot point doesn't even make the pump groan, it just instantly bypasses it didn't realize or think, well actually I didn't think it would pick it up.

So I grabbed another pallet

So pallet forks mount on a QA mount will be a fab in the future...

Kept bucket low, hit a small bump and the leverage actually had the bucket tap the ground 2inches down and lift back tires off the ground

I backed up so valve stem was at 9 oclock...depressed valve stem...liquid came out...just making sure they were filled.

So I'm going to eat and head back out, finish clearing out backyard.

Mount my chain hooks and try to move the 8ft box blade up to the old goat shed and turn it into a 5ft box blade.
.
Happy Good Friday!

 

[Bansil]

Well I mounted my chain hooks

Yes they are zombie green, I ordered safety yellow, but out of stock.
Went to move the 8ft box blade...
Well, that went over like beans in real chili...

Just like with the blocks....I wondered how much does the damn bucket weigh?

Took off bucket and put my blank plate on it...it easily lifted it up..

I moved it up to the goat lot with intentions to cut off a foot on each side, to make a 5 ft box.

Should I try it at 7ft? It's in the back yard so it's all been cut or dug and moved


???? Let me know...I will see if I have spacers and may just try it.

Picked up some branches also

 

[Bansil]

Well so far today I made a dirt pile

Came from here...worked on it today it ,and put angle on it

 

[EddieWalker]

I had a 6 foot box blade. It's width and weight where fine for my 37 hp tractor, but getting good with it was beyond me. I found that using the front bucket on my backhoe was a lot easier for me to smooth out the ground by back dragging with it. I traded the box blade with a guy after having it a few years.

In hindsight, it might of made a decent drag.

 

[Bansil]

Spent a few hours removing old fence to reclaim pasture. The fence is laid out to the right of the tractor....under the UFO

None of us saw anything in the sky..

My helpers

Moving the roll of wire

 

[Bansil]

So, wife says "I got a good commission check this week,, for the yard" Ugh, okay....

Got to use the new forks again...

Both trailers are full....
The 3 of use did this load....next 50 pallets was on me as they went to buy plants....these were fkn heavy...50 pallets for a total of 150-ish...damn etsy/pinterest/etc...

Thank God I could off load them with tractor

You're up there with the best of them when it comes to putting the girl to work as soon as she was home.

 

[EddieWalker]

Did you buy pallets, or are you selling them?

 

[Bansil]

Nope, she did

She has some kind of wall of pallets, filled with dirt and plants and such....damn Etsy, Pinterest and HGTV

Did you buy pallets, or are you selling them?
