I miss Branson existing as an independent brand...

Yeah. Heavy little tractors with a great motor.

Hauling off a bucket of concrete the builder buried under 2" of soil when they poured the garage pad... And refilled the hole, tamped down, and seeded. I love having tools for the job

That is a nice subframe. I have one. How in the world did that bolt come loose?

Your guess is as good as mine. With the backhoe hanging off the end of it though, there's definitely flex in the subframe out there, and where there's flex there's potential for a bit of movement and thus a bit of loosening, and it happened. As I mentioned, either that bolt or the one across from it had come loose previously (a few years back) and I cranked it down tight but apparently it wasn't enough. Now it's got a nyloc and the split ring, and hopefully I'll check it a little more often. I have a backup bolt/washer/nut in case I lose another somehow; if I see any loosening again I'll through locktite at it too.

Broke open another 4500 square feet of sod for a garden today. Two passes, 24 minutes. I’ll do a couple more passes in a couple weeks as the grass decomposes.
