OK, I was figuring higher. I'm trying to figure out how to handle one if I have to take it off the tractor and get it on a trailer to go to a tire shop for any reason. Under 200, I have tools to handle. Over that would be different. Still thinking about one of the HF shop cranes or maybe the wheeled car dollies. Not sure how easily the shop cranes move when loaded.

Well whatever you choose but i didn't go with the rim guard it was too much money i use rv antifreeze and water have a tractor it has been in for 10 years when i got a puncture its non toxic and way cheaper just let it drain enough to handle it and most likely if you need to go to tire shop it will not be full of rim guard anymore! I just took a old compressor tank and removed a fitting fill with water then hook up air hose to it pump that 10 gallon tank into tire then repeat fist tank is rv antifreeze its so much cheaper yes a day of work to complete all 4 wheels on my tractor but saves more than i make in 8hrs!

I walked around it to get the long handled shovel to plant the Cherry tree I just bought because the ground is too muddy to drive the tractor over.

Fire Tender Duty

I've had three piles of brush waiting for the right weather. I had it twice before but couldn't get the piles to stay burning. Finally got the right combination today and got two of them going. Spent the next few hours pushing wood to and into them and stirring them up to keep the hot spots open.

Still have one to go and a few more small trees to come down. They may have to wait until next fall now.

Finally remembered to take a few pictures! I have been running the tractor just once a week to bring a bucket of firewood in, so not much seat time until this week.

We are under a stay at home order here (Happy to comply , more tractor time)
So thankful I can self isolate out in the woods with my tractor & chainsaw!!! :cool2:

Finally got around to making a portable tool box for holding a log chain, saw, gas, & oil etc. I replaced the bungee with a ratchet strap since the pics were taken. Tractor won't fit in my garage with ROPS up, my land is flat so I rarely use it.
The box can be removed in less than a minute.

in the last few days I've finally been able to get out and get some yard clean up started! I've picked up 3 1/2 buckets full of limbs and burned, moved a pile of firewood, moved some dirt to a few low spots in the yard and spread. Getting ready to move the bush hog and the tiller up to the shop to prepare for the upcoming garden season. Next project is to level off the area next to the carport so I can add a lean too roof and pour some concrete, going to build an outdoor kitchen area there for the grills, griddle, and outdoor refrigerator
