Well , yall say i never get it Dirty. :D its not that. i just wash it alot. :)
I took the hoe and dug some holes and we planted 10 red maple trees this weekend. yall like action pictures well i got some for you. i really like my new stableizer pads i made. flipped them over thay really keep the tractor
Planted---> Duc Pay Attention...:D . but this old georgia red clay is like digging in concrete. but Johnny D dug right through it. roots and all. you will see in the pics. the ground is so hard. the stableizers are not sunk completely in the ground with full tractor weight on it. and thats 4000 pounds. this dirt was hard. you see we had a tiller out there. i was pulling dirt up in clumps. after i made a pile my buddy would run the tiller through it.
so we would have smooth dirt to put in the hole. i had to dig huge holes. you would not think a tree 3 inches around would have such a huge root ball.
but thay did. then i would push the tilled dirt back into the holes. and thay raked it out. put 5 down the side yard and 5 across the front. it turned out real nice. i had a friend of mine take the pictures.
The extreamly large man on the backhoe is Mr Chris2520 himself....:D
I really enjoy this tractor. it surprizes me everytime i use it. at what it can do.
one of the holes about a foot down i hit solid shell rock. and it just ripped it right out of there. I love this tractor.....:)
As always here is a bunch of pics. I love to post pictures.....:p
I guess you know i will be washing it tomorrow....:)
ran it about 2100 RPMS all day long. used a little over a 1/4 tank of fuel.
Did i tell you i love this tractor...:D The sucker can do about anything..:)
This machine is way underestimated. just take the JD spec sheet and throw it away.....:)

Cool pics, Chris!
How much acreage do you own? I see you're in a residential area.

Thanks for sharing - just love to see those action pics!

I have to get into the habit of taking more photos myself.

Feels good, doesn't it? Your back, I mean.
That is a beautiful machine. Even has a cupholder. If my local dealer wasn't an idiot I'd be running green, too.
Next on your list - a trailer!
Watch that backhoe when taking turns, and best of luck!

Nice looking Deere. That rops looks like a real head bonker:mad: . It looks like it can be pinned in different positions (is that the case?), which way should it be for most protection?

Roy , this was not my house. this was just a job i was doing to help out a friend. I dont have a great deal of land my self. i only have about 2 acres .
But i got many projects i am soon to be doing. my grass cutting yard is about 3/4 of an acer the rest is wooded and a large field beside my garage. that i hope to add on to my garage soon. i will need to dig footings and such.
i will keep it bissy in the future for a while and i like to help the nabors.
I just enjoy running the machine. .:)

Acualy , no head bonker at all. I am a big dude. and i fit right between them just fine. yes thay fold. but i am sure the up position is the safest. there is more space from side to side than you think...;)
the backhoe seat is very comfortable as far as backhoes go. i have sat on it for hours , and its not a problem...:)

Great pics couple of ?? I am waiting on the hoe for my 2520 .
how strong is the it? does it dig good? when digging does it have enough power to lift the back wheels off the ground? thanks

also wanted to add that it is mainly becouse of your feed back and positive results with this machine that pushed me toward a 2520. so thanks for taking time. Jeff
