replaced breakaway switch harness on (2014 sure-trac 7x14) trailer. org was straight swedged cable. it broke a bit ago. i knotted both ends then tied the 2 ends together. now I have a coiled 4ft (extended) harness.
did not come with brakes, I added them. etrailer rocks.
replaced the stock 2014 sure-trac A- frame jack with an etrailer a frame jack with drop foot.


took me 6 minutes, did have to drill one new hole for jack.
could not have done it w/o hooking safety chains to the DL100 bucket and lifting trailer tongue 4 ft in the air.

edit: forgot to attach pic

edit 2: when swapping out the breakaway cable I had trailer hooked to truck and pulled pin. both sides locked up. never depend on your battery status lights with ebrakes. test the emergency crap.

Our propane company delivered a new tank for our generator and their truck mounted crane did not have enough reach to get it into position. I used my GC1723 and pallet forks to move the tank for them. Then I backfilled the trench they dug for the gas line with my bucket. Without the GC1723 I don't think they could have installed the tank. Moving it by hand was out of the question.

Not much today. Put the hog on to start cleaning up around a blind. It's a good rough start.

I jack hammered out a couple flagpole concrete foundations and hauled all that away.

I Pulled up some big pavers and hauled them off where I could stack them up.

And today I moved the leftover mulch from the driveway to the back, under the stairs.

mowing (mid mount) today, did a section approx 1000ft by 200ft.
took grass/hay from 8" tall to 3" tall.
towards the end temp gauge REAL close to red.

yup radiator screen plugged with chaff.
letting it cool so I can remove air cleaner hose and pull screen out.
was cleaned approx 30 machine hours ago, been a weird year weather wise.

Oh wow man, I've never had the temp gauge move up one notch since I had this machine...actually I was thinking something was wrong with the gauge.

once cooled down took 5 minutes to fix and same ambient temp...barely at first mark just like always.
weather been messy here, over 11" rain in june then been either rain or 85%+ humidity first 2 weeks july. add in some health stuff and instead of mowing once a week it was once every 3 weeks. 12" tall crap caused chaff LOL

I only mow my lawn every 2 weeks and I have the same issue. I clean the screen before every mow when I check the oil.
