Good morning.
It’s 70 at 5am, going to 90 today. Yesterday was a hot one as well.
Spent the whole day mowing yesterday, started out with greasing and inflating tires on the progressive mower. The TD65 is a great machine, but it has a dozen tires, 4 gearboxes, 5 drivelines with 10 u-joints and 9 spindles plus a lot of greaseable pivot points. It typically takes more than 1 tube of grease to do the whole machine. I did slime the tires with slow leaks, looks like there is one that I will have to change, but I got the mowing done before it went flat.
Finished with that mower and put on the 90” Landpride 3Pt. The only has 4 casters, 3 spindles and one driveline to grease. And the 4 casters are all flat proof.
Finished with the Lazer, which also has flat proof casters, but pneumatic rear tires, that hold air just fine. The spindles on it are sealed, there are only 4 grease fittings on the whole machine.
At any rate got everything cut and even took a string trimmer for a walk.
Today I’m off to Martha’s Vineyard for an early pick up, then down to Greensboro to pick up the crew dropping a plane off at the Citation Service Center for inspection. Then the rest of the day (and week) is mine to do as I please.
