Last sunday I got to make trails in the woods with my yanny and boxblade. Lots of fun.

Towed my pick-up home with 790 after poooorly designed oil line retainer/O- ring set up failed:mad: and lost all oil from engine, luckily I seen the guage dive and at least it decided to do it 600 feet after turning onto the county road I live on and not the highway. Was not in mood for pictures. Usually the pick-up tows the tractor, not tractor tows the pick-up:D

Maybe his camera is living in the past:D

Today I chainsawed and flailed a couple of new paths, had to get off the tractor to do the chainsaw part:( but, managed to turn up 100 hours on the meter so the tractor is in the shop right now dripping out the last of the old engine oil. This fill will be synthetic, just in time for cold weather.:cool:.

Dropped the bush hog for the year, did all the service to the tractor and hooked up the back up generator for the winter to the PTO ...so now when and if there is a power failure I am all ready to go.

After spending a full weeks vacation working on the house, I finally got to try out my diggin' riggin' I made to pull dirt away from the foundation so I could lay insulation. It also works well as a "boom". Used it to lower my Dads steam cleaner down his bulkhead for winter storage.

Is that something you built yourself? It looks very useful

Well, it was yesterday but I did get to grade the mile long road with my yanmar and the neighbors JohnDeere 4100 with a FEL. I needed the FEL to move gravel into large pot holes in the road. Now the road is nice and smooth after 5 hours of seat time. :cool: I also got a picture of my "crew" side by side. My Yanmar is about the same size only narrower. I did notice that the 4100 has some internal hydraulic leaks in the FEL, likes to turn left on slopes, and the 3 point didnt want to lower until the second try. It was a little chilly yesterday at 38* but that didnt stop me from having seat time or stop my dog from following me on the road. There were many happy neighbors when I was finished. I started with my boxblade on my Yanmar but it lacked in weight and didnt dig in at all so I hooked up to my grader blade and made the road look like a large motor grader had came through. It makes me glad I have the equipment to grade the road easily now.

Very slow reply, sorry! Yes, something I made in the Man Cave. Primary use would be to use forks as a "boom", digger was an afterthought. I used it to pull back from the foundation and pull away from the sides of the shed so I could fill with brown pack. Works awesome!

It also works well for ripping staging from the side of the house. :D
