What have you done to your Branson today?

[Slowpoke Slim]

Loaded mine up and hauled it to my local dealer for it's 50 hr service (just hit 50 hrs on the button). I want them to at least do the first one, give it the official once over, make sure everything is good. May start doing them myself after, or may just keep letting these guys do it for me. They're pretty on top of things, so peace of mind I guess?

I added a toolbox to my 3520R

Very well done. Is that just a metal ammo box?

 

[Branson3520R]

Thank you! Yes, it is the smaller of the ammo boxes. I thought about using a bigger one but I wanted to still be able to use the step if I wanted to. I used two of the existing bolts to mount it to the tractor. The box wasn't quite long enough to reach the third bolt, I used a hammer to make an indentation in the box so it would fit over the bolt.
I have a few hand tools, pins, clamps and of course, WD-40 in the box.

Changed engine oil, built a screen for the front of the ac condenser coil, moved the air cleaner above the engine and cleaned up inside the cab.

I don't know much about hay or North Texas but I'm curious.

Will this be the last cut till the spring?

Actually today I will be hauling what I processed this last week. It's late for me in the season but a neighbor had a Milo patch that regrew with some real nice foliage out of the stubble left from his grain operation. So I accepted the invite.

Otherwise I would have been finished back in July-Aug. I have winter rye and Austrian Field peas planted now for soil restructure, nutrition, and a spring hay crop....just waiting on the rain to get it to germinate. Seems it's always the weather........too much or too little. We'll see if the weather will let me get a decent harvest this spring....rain is forecast (OFAlmanac) to be above normal and normal is usually an iffy decent harvesting operation at that.

Picked up my 3725 from the dealer today. Decided since I had it on the trailer already, that I'd go ahead and weigh it on a CAT scale. Went back and reweighed the empty trailer. CAT scale says my 3725ch with FEL, 72" box blade and filled rear tires weighs 7160 lbs.

This sounds interesting. Do you have any pics of the screen and the relocated air cleaner?

Hope their clear enough. Only have a iPad to take them with.
