finally got a chance doing the driveway with just a box blade and I think I did good. My dealer lend me the landplane to try but did not use it yet. I will proly try to use it tomorrow if I can get home early. I added 2 triaxle loads of stones.

Looks good let us know how you like the landplane as I am starting to think about one of those.

Have you used the landplane yet? Is it a 3 point hitch mount?

What did I do today? Hmmm
1st, I dropped the 72" SB on the lawn and the ballast box in the driveway. Hitched the 60" Box Blade on the 3PH from where I plan to store the SB and pulled it out from the back wall of the garage in front of the wifes car. Realizing I cannot connect the 7TL with the front QH attached I disconnected the lift cylinder and lower mount of the QH and grabbed the loader from the middle of the garage where it had sat all winter, to move it out, as well, to the drive with the intent of putting the 7TB in the middle and the SB in the slightly wider spot aside it. Did I mention I had rolled the 72" RFM out to the driveway from the middle of the garage between the two vehicle spots? (My cars the Bobcat:D). Reattaching the lift cylinder, I deposited the SB on a pallet in the back of the garage before the wife's car and added the QH and Mid PTO to Front PTO shaft, with the notion of getting pallet forks reverberating through my brain. Then I hooked up the 7TB after much battling with an overabundance of pressure on the QD hose ends which were only rectified by a few hammer blows. Attaching the 7TB is tricky because my Garage must have the ROPs all the way down to enter without folding back the metal flashing around the garage doorway but must be up half way as it will hit the 7TB controls when hooking up, which is exactly how I snapped one control off in the fall that accompanied the sporadic spasm the 7TB displayed when the ROPs actuated both controls when it ran into it! Luckily no one was hurt. Did I mention that actually the very first thing I did today was tap the one broken 7TB control? Anyway, then I deposited the 7TB right down the middle of the garage with the base of the boom on two well placed jack stands, which experience has taught me that this allows the sub frame flat on the floor, since I am going to have to run over it to get out since the Bush Hog is parked in the middle of the garage at the front (being between the two doors). Did I mention I had to leave the 7TL outside to do this without counter weight due to limited manoeuvring room? Any way, then I grabbed the ballast box on the 3PH and put it on a small pallet at the back of the garage on the other side of the 7TB. Then I wheeled my old lawn tractor trailer over and parked it sideways in front. Then returning outside to grab the 7TL, and the 72" RFM on the 3PH, which to my surprise, discovered ample room to back in and park. I am ready for summer:thumbsup:
