TODAYS SEAT TIME

[Jstpssng]

I already have a Kubota close to that size and it needs a bit of work that I don't want to spend the money on. The diesel and pto driveline are still good, so it will probably stay on the pto generator. The new one will be used to plow a little snow, till the gardens and do small jobs like that.

I have been thinking about replacing the old one for the last couple years and I knew exactly what tractor I wanted to get. I found a dealer that had two of them at "I want to get rid of them" prices, so I bought it at a very good price.

So far, I like the updates the new tractor has compared to the old one.

What is it, about a 30 year old machine?

It's a B6200 that I bought new, it has about 700 hours on the clock

This morning I brought firewood down from my field, to make sure that I have enough on hand to get through the winter. Then it started snowing so I finally put chains on the tractor.
I probably should have done that yesterday, but it was too nice out so I went snowsledding.

Tuff seat time today.

I guess it’s an end of an era. After 35 years our careers are over, our children are on their own and doing well, and the last of our pets namely Effie i buried today with his brothers. I wonder what the next chapter will be.

I came to the conclusion the to be happy it’s about being able to give up things. When we are 2 we have to give up our ultra ego, when we are 5 we have to come out from our mothers apron, when we are 16 we have to give up a romantic relation, when we our older we have to give up our health then we eventually have to give up life itself. Don’t worry be happy life.

RIP to our pets…Sam, Carlisle, Blacky, Casper, Baby and Effie.

It was such a nice day today, I took the new tractor out and plowed the few inches of snow that fell since the last time I plowed,

Seat time always good therapy.

I just used my winch to drag my company truck out the driveway again. There's nothing more useless than a 4WD truck without working 4WD.

What model is that? I'm thinking 2501? but maybe smaller than that? Any more pics?

It's a 2401, about 21 engine hp, it's a replacement for an older model that I bought new in the mid 80's.

It has some nice upgrades from my old model, without all the disadvantages of some of the wizz-bang crap everyone is putting on small tractors today.

I need some 16 foot 2x6s, so yesterday went out and cut down a couple of spruce. One of them had a seam at the bottom, but since the tree only had 33 usable feet,
(Not a very good picture, but you can see the seam on the very bottom left side of the log.)
I decided to see if I could cut around it. I sawed out the cant, then it started snowing so I wimped out. But I should be able to get 3 full length 2x6s, plus another a bit shorter.

This is the cant, rotated 90 degrees from the first picture.
