TODAYS SEAT TIME

[aarolar]

I sure do enjoy all of these great pictures! Thanks everyone for sharing.

Today I hauled in a trailer with two yards of leaf mold compost for my wife's hobby garden in town. I have no real need for a dump trailer, (except on days like this), so I get a good workout with the pitchfork and shovel, which is probably a good thing as well. Sure is easier to navigate around the yard with the tractor as opposed to the truck.

Hoping this cattle panel redneck trellis will do the trick for some cucumbers and zucchinis!

I was planning on using those this year myself I'm just going to do them straight in a row however.

I helped a buddy clean up at his moms place today. He bent the cylinder on the loader ( luckily his tractor). I removed the cylinder for him. In the process I cut my hand and required stitches. I guess we both had a pretty bad day. <img src="http://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/attachment.php?attachmentid=460088"/>

Ouch! How did he do that?

Worked a little more on the corner I'm clearing.
I got the new Audobon book on tree ID today and am going to look at the cedar vs juniper idea. I think mine are red cedar. Cleared and piled quite a bit. Tractor is starting to show it's limits are higher than my butt pucker factor. Quit treating the grapple like a little girl today grubbing out some stumps and it survived without a scratch.

I wasn't watching when he did it. I'm pretty sure he had the pallet forks curled all the way down and was pulling backwards with the tractor. As for my hand. The hydraulic hose was zip tied to the cylinder. I was attempting to cut it with my pocket knife and the knife slipped. I must have had my hand on the cylinder below the zip tie. Dumb place to put it, but....

One last pass before the deluge. We're forecast to get 8-12" of rain over the next several days.

Moving dirt and clearing next to driveway. Cut down a 15-17" Locust tree I plan to mill into post, pulled them out of the way.

Been itching to again contribute to this thread but the weather has been cold and rainy and I'm a fair weather kind of tractor guy. I did get a few minutes of seat time... started and moved the tractor to get at other things. Don't suppose that counts though. :ashamed:

that's dangerous, be careful...
got a boat?

built an elevated veggie garden today, four loads of topsoil plus bagged stuff.

I got the tractor put back together, but discovered another major problem. The cylinder rods hit the boom before the the stop limiters touch. Then I bush hogged a little bit.

We went from winter to spring in one day. 50 degrees today - the ground is still frozen but mud season is on the way. Won't get any more seat time for a while until it dries up some. Did some clean up and pulled out some ugly tops but mostly just enjoyed the weather today.
