What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

sometime last evening an ******* (turned out to be house hauler that thought he had a RIGHT to damage my property) went onto my property and almost took out the power pole feeding this road. walked outside 45 minutes ago and saw the damage.
so hooked roller to tractor and fixed it. have scaled tractor in this config in past, 2190 lbs and 20 ft 1 inch in length.
Pics not really showing it but that one rut 19 inches from pole.
LOL just noticed one of my cats, Freya, is in the pic. shes few ounces shy of 15lbs and is a siamese mix. very nosy.
anyways this afternoon same house hauler was suddenly blocked by a 2019 Silverado 1500 RST and a 2010 massey GC2400.
right to block my property my ass....he called 911 on me. he lost.

Yesterday damaged the corner of my house with a raised loader bucket while mowing-grrr. Spent 18k on this 3 years ago.

so should I say drive better???
just want to know the protocol now

debbie hit us here in Maine. roof leaking. ridge vent seam. will fix tomorrow but damn, I need some dry days. 30" of rain so far this year. the fact I was w/o power a few hours this morning did nothing to my mood. having a generator with a corroded hot side also made my day much more enjoyable

After quite a few years, I installed my Woods tiller yesterday... what a job; I'd forgotten all of what was involved! Found some bent lower links, too... not sure how that happened. But it's now on, so I'll go take care of the job I foolishly volunteered myself for at a neighbor's house. Hope it works OK. Also discovered that my model --GTC40-2-- is apparently now an orphan, no longer listed on the Woods site, no owner's manual available, either.

Just been using my 1720 to move tree parts around and getting rounds to the splitter.

The tiller worked, job done. (Lots of rocks!!!)

We had 4" of rain a week ago, and it washed out a poorly constructed wall next to a culvert discharge in a ditch. Been pulling all the rocks and dirt out so that I can rebuild it better. 1st photo is "before", 2nd & 3rd are "after", and 4 & 5 show Fergie hauling stuff out. The big rocks in the loader are from the ditch, and after getting them out with the backhoe and chains, I put them in the loader for counterbalance; otherwise, there was almost no steering with another hanging off the back. The green chains are Brush Grubbers and wow did they help.

Yes, the backhoe has the factory thumb on it, and I modified it from manual to hydraulic.
