Got the cardboard off and cut all the parts and pieces removed. Paid for the upgraded PTO shaft and an extra set of blades to start. Rain is incoming (of course!) So I moved the parts into the garage and tarped the remaining unit in the crate. Just not really in the mood to assemble anything in 39 degree rain which should start falling any time now. You can pick black or orange so I did the right thing and said don't you dare ruin that thing with that ugly orange paint. I hope to assemble it this weekend and get some pictures and video of her nestled up to the ol' gc1710

Everytime I security notification goes off and I look at the camera...there it is. Everytime I leave the house...there it is...

I have 1 last problem however.

I pinched a hose on the outrigger for the backhoe last weekend and can't get the backhoe off. So I did the right thing and asked a buddy to bring down his tractor with some chains so we can lift it off and get the chipper on tomorrow.

ug 1 yr old throttle cable frozen due to 21 to 55 deg f temps swings.
fairly close to gulf of maine so I have a lot of humidity.
guess what I am ordering today.
part # 6254177M92 approx 37$
suspect when I replaced last year I may have missed protecting a rub spot.

Well, I saw the writing on the box saying something about max wood, so I was just putting 2 and 2 together.

I like those, man. I just don't have enough 3ph stuff to justify getting them, but yeh just attaching the weight box is a pita sometimes.
