TODAYS SEAT TIME

Nice setup Gordon . . . :thumbsup:

Most recent seat time was a few weeks back. I wasted some of my gravel pile trying to fill a few of the larger mudholes. The gravel I have is too small to hold the mud down, so it just mixed with the mud and didn't help the mess. Called about some gravel, WOW the prices are up... Had to scrape a little extra cash together before placing the order. Finally got my order in and it should be delivered tomorrow. Hopefully I can get some seat time reconstructing the sunken driveway.

Hour and a half last night and the same this morning blowing and blading the drive to the highway. 50 k winds and loose snow makes for some serious drifts on the sections of unprotected roadway.

Did you lose any trees in the Highwinds?

Rained out...

You're right. Even in 2WD with all the weight of the loader and the plow frame hanging out over of the front tires plus the chains and the fact that the plow is set back close to the SSQA plate it holds tight to the bank way better than my one ton dump in 4WD with ballast and rear chains. I am pretty happy with the way this turned out. I had heard that steering could be difficult with a loader mounted p/u truck plow so I was a little worried.

Thanks for this backside of the blade photo. That is very nice. Is it massed produced or a shop project?

Very much so here as well. The moon is now out and I am going walking since the dogs are barking at something anyway. I try to do a 1/4 mile regardless year round. Doing a 100 steps backwards per some to reduce brain freezes. The plus side if I get ran over I will never know what hit me.
