What did you do to or on your Mahindra today?

[Hamiltonville Farm]

I finished my trusses. Just need a roof on my pole barn now....the video is out. And the last video in the series will be out in a couple days. This has proven to be challenging for me without the proper equipment. Lol

Pole barn is coming along nicely.

Hamiltonville Farm how old are your labs?

 

[CowboyRon]

How far did that get you? I've got 20 yards Coming in the next couple days.

I'm guessing about 30 yards of driveway

Hamiltonville Farm how old are your labs?

My male, Gideon is 5. My female, Sheba is 2 1/2.

They are great dogs. The female is hyper as she can be. But Gideon is one of the laziest dogs I've owned, but I love his personality. He's a lot of fun to have out with.

We got Sheba to breed with Gideon, she's been in heat 3 times since we've owned her, and she won't have anything to do with Gideon

Hamiltonville Farm, they are great looking dogs. My two labs are 10 and 6 and a half, my older male has slowed down a little but a great buddy for all these years. My younger one is my hyper runner, both great dogs a lot of fun to have when outside or in the woods. They have been my wood cutting buddies for years now. Hope the future puppy thing works out I would love to see some black lab puppies!

Plowed and harrowed/middle-busted a garden plot for planting potatoes and some early June peas over Presidents Day. Cleaned up next to my neighbors shop, lots of volunteer oaks and a dead pine tree.

The Sundown 180 is all hooked up, I had the sand/salt shield down all the way but the next time I'll raise it so it will pretty much do the width of the driveway. It beats standing on the ice throwing sand on the driveway.

Just a few pictures of the 180 and the little bit I sanded.

We almost ordered through everything attachments (Jeremy answered all my questions without any delay) for some reason I remembered seeing this at the local Mahindra dealer so I called and he had one left so we purchase this stainless steel spreader.

We have ice,rain and a quick freeze up so time was a factor.

No offense, but I'm so glad I don't have to do that. Lol. Places that have snow are nice to visit, but I love living near the beach Stay Warm!

We love our seasons up here in northern ny, Florida is very nice but not for me...................yet. The ice can be a real pain, especially if you try and drive on it but since we don't need to be on the roads, the driveway is the only thing I'll be driving on to sand.

Another thing that I don't like about living in the south would be tornadoes and hurricanes.

Yeah Hurricane Michael was absolutely horrible. I do love all the terrain, topography and openness of the Northern States. We love to travel up that way during the Spring months.

Since we had rain and some snow in the forecast, we made a cover for the spreader which worked great. The last 10 minutes of scraping down the driveway, the rains came down pretty good but the cover kept the sand dry. The last picture is in the garage after taking off the cover.

Drove her home today (about 10 miles) from my buddy's shop, where she had an oil change, coolant flush/refill, fuel filter replacement and engine block heater installed...

Just in time, when does everything hit your area?

 

[JerryK]

Just got an email from Otsego County emergency management, that all the county roads are shut down today, including I-75 both north and southbound. Only got less than a foot of snow, but the N/S roads are drifted over bad from the high winds that are just now starting to wind down. So, that is what my 2555 will be doing today. My buffalo ranch guy neighbor is breaking out his dozer, and I am going to help him open up our road with the snowblower. Road commission is going to concentrate on opening up the major roads today first... they said it might be several days before they get all the back roads cleared. [ Life is Good ]
