So I spent the evening installing all the new toys on Britney.

Brotek wheel spacers and steering guard

Bxpanded skid plate, thumb, tooth bar and ripper.

Everything went on very easily and intuitively. The only problem I had was figuring out how to raise and lower the mover controls for the skid plate install. I do not have a mower deck so I had never used the control. Duh.

Quality components all around. Can't wait to attack the land tomorrow and put this stuff to the test.

Some people name their tractors.

And I am one of them.

Pics soon. Was working all day today. The tooth bar is amazing and the wheel spacers made a noticeable difference. Very happy with the new toys, er, required upgrades.

Just like a woman. We all can afford the base model, it's the "required upgrades" that we have trouble with...

Nice job!!

So my first project was digging out some parking spaces.

My whole property is sloped. A part of my driveway goes cross slope, so the the right is uphill and to the left downhill.

I dug out the uphill side, transferred to the downhill side and made some useable parking spaces.

My neghbor delivered a tri-axle of 2a modified.

I started work last night at 6:30 and was done by 8.

Gotta love the little tractor.

Some more smoothing to do, but 95% done. Ran out of light.

Wow, nice work. You've learned a lot about your tractor is a VERY short time.
