What did you do to or on your Mahindra today?

Finally located some boulders that were close and a good price: FREE.

Picked two of the four that could be picked up. The one above is the larger of the two, but not by much. I figured about 1100lbs and needed extra balast to keep the rear wheels on the ground. The smaller one was just under 1000lbs and was handeled but the extra balast made it safer. The two remaining boulders are still there. Although I can drag them I think they top a ton a piece. No way I can get them into a trailer.

Put them at the end of a driveway for "Protection". The mail box was taken out twice. I told the owner that this would not protect the mailbox but keep the car from driving away.

Nice machine, where did you get the bucket level indicator?

I moved some snow that would drain down toward the garage with the rain & melt coming at us, I didn't have any problems the last time I left it but I'll worry less with it out of that area. The natural drain should keep any water away from the garage and down back into the woods.

I'm going to move a 12x20 shed today with the 4540. I'll post the video later

One quirky thing about this forum; when you click the little movie strip icon to Insert Video from YouTube or similar, you need to remove the S from https:// in the link they provide so it reads http://

Good luck with the move!

Me? I made it. L brackets (cut to fit the pin mountings), AL tube, AL rod, some plastic washers and clamps. Oh, green tape at the end, can't forget that.

Spent about 4 hours scraping up silt that came down from 3 neighbors lots, because they don't have any grass/vegetation growing on their properties. So I get all of the silt after a good rain.

I've now accumulated about 25-30 truckloads, and still have another 5-10 to scrape up.

Put an ad on Craig's list hoping an excavator will see it and want to come and get it all.

Ironic thing is, that one neighbor is finally addressing his "run-off" problem, and had to buy 4 truckloads of dirt to fill in his wash out areas. about $500

Did you offer to sell it back to him?

 

[duffer]

No I didn't get a chance to sell it to him...the property changed hands recently, and the new owner hired a contractor to address some of the water issues. The dirt showed up before I could talk to him.
