Thank you and good updates. Very respectable welding.

Unfortunately for the wife I installed some LED lights on the roof not long ago, which means more time to stay outside working. Digging post holes for the fence around the new ground's that's now our winter pasture.

Haven't updated this in awhile. We had our first baby this December and I haven't used the tractor much besides putting hay out. But today started the real work for our new land and it's getting a workout again. Put 8 hrs on it today alone, up to 67 hrs on the tractor now & I've only had two glitches that came and went away just as quick. Some reason the tractor throttled itself to 1500 RPM's and wouldn't change by either hand or foot throttle. I turned it off, back on, and hasn't done it again. Other issue was today the battery light came on and my voltage dropped to 12.5 for a couple minutes then the light went off on it's on and volts returned back to normal. We'll see if it's a fluke because I'll be using it alot for the next while.

Anyhow, here's a few pictures. Had them pop stumps on the way in so I can widen and build my road to where the pasture and house is going in the back. To keep from risking pushing up some of my new pine seedlings planted I told them I'll pick up the stumps and carry to the back where they are working. Pulling ditches Tomorrow.

Hope you are having fun with it! Looks like a lot of seat and grapple time!

Would those tractor issues be related to emissions?

Would those tractor issues be related to emissions?

Could be. I suspect some switch issue. I've had a WM 50 with 150 plus trouble free hours and no issues at all.

Would those tractor issues be related to emissions?

Could be a possible force Regen with the RPM's, but I highly doubt it unless NH doesn't tell there dealers. I've read where a few others have had this exact same issue and there dealer including mine blamed other things. Far as voltage, no clue.

What are you doing about that mudhole and your driveway through it?

What are you doing about that mudhole and your driveway through it?

Lol, Good observation sir!

It's because I built a bad wet low spot up in a hurry to get trucks to the back and haven't had a chance to put my pipe in yet. So the water after alot of rain the other day found the next lowest spot, where I stopped building the road up :mur:. But to answer that, I'm going to be putting in a pipe and building the road up even more soon. I need 4 pipes actually to finish the drive, it will do a horse shoe and the other road has two low spots that water drains through also.
