New guy and some projects

[GregbkH]

About 3 weeks ago I received delivery of my 2010 New Holland 3045. I configured it to include a FEL, backhoe and Land Pride RBT3584 rear blade. It also has 3 rear remotes and all 4 tires are filled with rim guard.

This is my first tractor and keep it on my future retirement property. Sadly, I only get to play with it on weekends. So far I've tried everything out.

Backhoe, took out 5 unwanted stumps.

RBT3584

Graded about 600 feet of my easement (practice) and cut in a small ditch along my driveway.

Removed some rock and dirt

Cut a shallow ditch, when finished, the rock goes back along the bank.

The wife has done a lot of stone work around the fire pit and garage. I was the grunt, she is the brains!

Thanks for looking

Very nice stuff there, Greg. With all that really nice equipment, I hope you bought one more thing you didn't list: a very nice grease gun. That backhoe should be greased every day you use it and the same for the loader. The blade can probably go for 25 to 50 hours though. I'm not sure what LandPride recommends. I'd bet you are gonna love working that tractor, especially with the three remotes for future things like a grapple and maybe TnT. That is one dream rig.:thumbsup:

Good looking tractor and a smart choice of implements.
With a fire pit and all of those trees I would imagine one or two will need to come down-where is your 3-PT wood splitter? Mine splits three cord a year for the past eight years attached to the TC-40S.

Guys, thanks for the comments.

jinman, I did forget to list a grease gun, but I did get a fairly decent one. I got a tube fed, one hand pump model and have become very familiar with using it. I already love the hyd remotes and can't wait to add more implements, especially a grapple and TnT. Thanks again.

nickle plate, with about 43 acres of woods, I don't think I could even keep up with the blow downs that occur each year. You are right, the fire pit means that fire wood is a necessity (wifey says so). She is so into having a nice fire to enjoy and cook over that she went and bought a 25 ton wood splitter this spring. We too have ran 3 cords through it this year. Wisconsin has been having some pretty windy weather this year. I just cut up a 22" maple last Monday and my neighbor informed me today that I've got another waiting for me when I get there tomorrow. I have an 017 and a MS 361 with plenty of chains and fuel. When I'm up there, it don't really seem like work. I enjoy it. Thanks for your comments.
