Did an engine oil change and 100 hr check-up/grease on the L3010 with 1900 hrs. Checked the fan belt and it felt like dry rot. Seemed to happen suddenly - was fine last time. So I ordered a new belt. I changed the front axle oil (80-90 gear oil) at 1800 hrs and checked that. It was almost a...

You do nice work. I would recommend or hire you in a heart beat ! gg

I'd be worried about a broken fan blade or a hole in the radiator with to much of that. gg

I cut a trailer load of firewood today. Removing junk and ill-formed trees. Ground is too soft for skidding in my book so I used the L3010 "forwarder". gg

Very nice work !!! gg

That is how I built my 10 X 16 wood shed. Used 6X6 PT with 2X8 corner braces dado'ed in. leveled the corners with flat slabs in the low spots. Filled with 3/4 crushed stone. It has been there over a decade now and still square and level. Then Now gg

Hate to push LIKE on a post like that. I wouldn't like that at all ! gg

It ain't over 'til it's over. Yesterday weather man said snow during the night and this morning followed by a day of mixed and freezing rain, and finally plain rain Monday. We got 8" or 9", depending where I measured, which I plowed off this morning before the freezing rain and mixed. The road...

Keep us posted - sounds interesting gg

I haven't been able to get out in the woods with the tractor since the end of January - too much snow, And I am behind in firewood. It rained last Sunday then Monday and Tuesday were suddenly in the 50's. We lost a lot of the snow. Knowing it was going to cool off for the next 3 days I went out...

Me too. This was Monday - almost 2 feet of snow still on the ground And cold Raining now though. Hope to lose some snow. gg

Yesterday was the first day that got above freezing (35*) since the end of December so our mud season is probably a long way off unless something drastic happens. For us it is usually mid April. gg

You don't have a mud season out there ?? Just curious how other places are. Where we are, the frost goes down deep during the winter. Where the ground is exposed all winter like a road it will go down 4' or more, Then when the surface thaws in the spring it becomes a slurry of saturated mud...
