yeah mud kicking my butt too. have to work road during those few days mud wind and sun all work together. so far sun starts to cooperate then goes away. cannot use box scraper, will not bleed off at all just clumps. got most of potholes fixed using grader blade and roller but really need to use box blade (no tines) to smooth little divets.
and of course rain and another 1/4 or so snow due friday night. makes it hard to maintain a road.
think I will give up for a few and tomorrow head up the road to change clogged fuel filter on MF1532 and get that fired up for first time since beginning of November.

Moving snow on sunday was bad. The ground under the snow was muddy because it was so warm the week before. Put chunks of my lawn through the blower. The thing will chew through anything. I guess the next thing I'll actually be doing is replacing my divots and spreading grass seed.

not good. filter changed, fuel going up into injection pump no issues pump bled out. still only sputters. suspect gel in injectors. not my tractor so dealer service call due.
meanwhile my GC2400 (just to keep on topic) runs fine and may tow the 1532 out of its park spot to allow access for mtx LOL

edit: now not positive pump bled out well so in day or so after battery charges will bleed it.

Well, it was Thursday, but I hope I've used my blower for the last time this year -- we got a tad over an inch of fairly wet snow overnight and into Thursday AM. Hit it with the blower before temps rose too much; a few hrs later driveway was only wet. Dirt roads up here are horrible this year, and the .97" of precipitation we got out of that storm didn't help....

Working on removing two tree stumps with my GC1723 that are next to my driveway. It is going very, very slow. These roots and rocks are huge.

The driveway ice had been melting early this year and now is about 50% gone.

Today I'm going to remove the tire chains on the MF and swap out the studded snow tires on our truck.

Tomorrow I plan to swap out the weight box and MF Dozer Blade for the FEL and either the Back Hoe or the Box Blade.

Still have plenty of snow in the shaded areas as the temperature climbs to the low 50's during the day.

B.T.W. I found these sheds about a month ago about 20' from the back deck. I normally find a few sheds each springtime on the property, but have only found a few matched pairs and never before found a matched pair this close together.

WHISKEY TANGO FOXTROT??

Well, I knew it was supposed to get cold overnight (now +12F), but I didn't expect this! Glad I haven't yet removed the snow blower... and my camera apparently just died....

Here's a pic my daughter took with her phone and emailed to me -- sheesh!

It is just wrong that I had to be out at 5AM on the 28th of march moving snow drifts so that my wife could get out to work.
