TODAYS SEAT TIME

[LouNY]

Todays seat time was mounting the rear chains on the Branson and using the york rake to break up the ice that had formed from using the Kioti's bucket to skim most of the wet heavy snow from Thursdays storm. The R-14 tires impressed me with their wet snow performance of course that little CK 2620 is quite heavily ballasted with the liquid filled rear tires and the backhoe hanging off of it, I figured it up one day and she sits just under 6000 pounds with only 25 hp.

That spot was a little softer than I planned.

Kind of makes you wonder how stable the utility pole is!??

They drill those into the bedrock.

Well just a bit of seat time this morning, I had a material delivery scheduled for today and when I finally got out of bed there was about 3 inchs of wet snow on the ground. No way can I allow a delivery truck on the driveway on wet snow not even the 3 wheel all terrain fork lift. So I called to try and talk to dispatch then went out and dropped the forks off the little Kioti and broomed of the bucket mounting and put the bucket back on, then dropped the bucket of the Branson and mounted the forks on her. The Branson has chains so she is safe on the driveway. As I was walking towards the house, I got a call from dispatching that my order wouldn't be going out for delivery till tomorrow. So now it's time for coffee and breakfast. Of course then Sunday I'll need the forks back on the Kioti to be ready for some tire mounting and swapping.

Time to put some more meat in the freezer, so my "seat time" was moving and hanging up a couple pigs to be butchered,

Glad to see I'm not the only one to hang from the loader. I use a hay spear with a square tube to get the steers away from the front of the tractor a bit.

The one on the right looks like it will go better than 10 pounds!!!

That's a scary big hog!

My wife keeps threatening to get a couple of hogs...but it's always just after she reminds me they can eat people and no one would ever know...
