TODAYS SEAT TIME

[4570Man]

Here's my seat time for the last couple days.

 

[DieselBound]

I bush hogged today. I got stuck on the second lap around the field.

Boy howdy how I can relate to that! And no bucket to help?

I had a bucket, but I foolishly decided to take it off for better visibility. I drug the bucket with my little tractor about a 1/4 mile and managed to get it on. With the bucket on surprising I pushed it out. I figured I'd have to remove the bush hog and drag it out of the way.

New tractor attachments unloaded:



The only time this tractor will touch these: they're meant for my new tractor.:laughing:

Unloaded a bunch of wooden fence posts from the back of my truck; slow going only pulling a few at a time; 42 posts in all. Did some final touch-up grading around my new garage site and hauled off a bucket load of rocks. Tomorrow I'm having 30 yards of 1 1/14" minus delivered and will be spreading and compacting. My trusty B7800 will once again be called upon to do what's needed: the new tractor did not get delivered as expected

Hello Max welcome to the site. Everything Attachments have the 3 point trailer move around attachment.

Tractor looks great. I just bought a 3032e, Is that the JD 3 pt quick attachment? Also what hitch attachment is that, looks like a great setup to pull the trailer around the house. Thanks

When I first stuck my B7800 it was about as bad as you could get stuck. My bucket was of no use: I was pinned by a debris pile, big stumps sticking out. I couldn't back up because my mower was stuck even worse!



Back on topic...

Filling and grading the site for the new shop/garage:

 

[4570Man]

I've been stuck worse, I've had my L3240 so deep it was over the floor board on the right side. Lucky I had the backhoe on and a bucket on the loader. I was able to self extract. I already had my F-350 stuck and I was trying to pull it out. You couldn't open the passenger door on the truck. Once I managed to get the tractor unstuck I got the truck unstuck. Unfortunately this all happened before I had a smart phone so no pictures.

Went and graded out a private road for a friend of mine yesterday. Brought both my 7ft rake and my 66 inch box blade figuring I'd need both but was able to cut down the high sides with the rake and bring everything back to a crown before spreading out and mixing in a top coat of reclaim payment on top.

Nice work. It'd last longer if your friend could cut back some of the trees and brush t the sides of his drive to let more sun in, too. This has been a good year for brush, at least in western MA (not so bad drought as eastern). Jim

 

[Mikejeakins]

I'll second nice job.

Thanks! It barely looks it but my friend and the other guy that lives on the private road did cut trees and brush back about 6ft off the roadside last summer. The trees were literally growing out of the edge of the driveway before that last year lol.

Not my butt but my better half's seat time. Been encouraging her to get on board and learn to use our BX. Yes my ulterior motive is to cut down on my honey-do's. Actually it is always my pleasure but I want her to experience the same. :cloud9:

 

[dirt ditch]

dragoneggs you started something. Once the better half uses the tractor it becomes her tractor. :laughing: If I hadn't shown my wife how to run ours she would have got on it and figured it out on her own anyway. But that's OK as she does a lot around our place while I'm at work. She would wait for me if she was doing more than basic operation and thought what she was doing was above her skill level. When the eight year old battery went bad in the tractor I found out that the air cleaner and grill guard allow for a very small space to work. My wife was able to reach in and remove the springs on the grill and the clamps off the battery then reattach them. All I could do was remove and replace the battery so there are benefits.

That is great. I wish I could get my wife to do that but she is to timid. Then I would have more time to run her vacuum cleaner.

When our dealer delivered our new LS, he backed it off his trailer, and the next butt in the seat was The Wife's. I showed her where everything was and how it worked, and off she went for a spin around the property. :thumbsup: I show her everything and then let her do it. She wants to learn, and I'm not at all opposed. Should something happen to me, she would need to know anyway.

... and yeah, I call it her tractor, too. :tractor:

Margie has said for years she wants to help with the mowing once she retires. She has 2 months and 24 odd days left, so we will find out if she really wants to help next spring.
