What did you do on or to your LS Tractor today?

[Diggin It]

Tilled up a big garden area for a neighbor.

Couple of other things I can't remember.

Did the bucket lift thing again to get out of 4WD into 2WD, worked like a charm.

Starting to clear the land we bought for our home. Previous owners apparently were fond of junk. I've hit so much crap hiding below the grass with the shredder, it's prompted me to build a debris fork to kinda comb it out and move it first in the next areas.

Debris forks mock up.



And on the side, a company we contract to was going to throw away some tools. An unstuck, rusted in bit and a loose wire later and I have a big Hilti.

Now that the weather finally broke, I got some seat time in. The driveway / private road has been a mud pit. The upwind property was bare and half the dirt blew across/onto the road. The drainage ditches were filled in and a "dirt berm" about 2-3' deep, 8' wide, and 5-600' long formed. The driveway was more like a water channel than a road.

Got out there and scraped off the dirt, used the boxblade to dig up the stone, and regraded it. Then started to dig out the drainage ditches. The adjoining property has a new owner and wants the dirt. So I'm just dumping it over the fence. He'll move it from there. The piles are 5' high. So far about 4 hours on the road, 3 hours on digging the dirt out. Got about 200' done out of the 600'.

Fine looking road and dirt work.

I didn't do anything on the tractor, but I did buy a present for it.
Found a very gently used Land Pride RCR 1872 cutter for a good deal.

I used my XR4155HC to lift my 84” rear finish mower to pressure wash bottom side and install new blades.



Pressure washing took about 15 minutes.





Nice to replace blades standing up, with pneumatic impact gun. Took less than 10 minutes.

Moved a bunch of stuff, big rocks, little rocks, broken concrete, rotted brush and straw .....

Slung a couple of pallets of wood around.


Coming in handy for that kind of stuff that would have taken a lot more effort, or might not have been done at all.


Might be time to look into some kind of bucket hooks though.

Added a switch for the 3rd function valve.

Very nice. I'm researching adding rocker switches for aux lighting. A couple of questions. Did you mount the switch in one of the covered switch panels? Where did you get the switch? And lastly, how difficult was the install?

Finally got my XR4155 out of the shop after a long wet and cold winter. Reorganized all the implements, moved some logs around with the grapple and did some generally cleanup in the area around the shop. Ground still too soft to do much work yet.

I have one of these peoples horn switches and it worked out nice. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B019RN6F2W/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&th=1
