Moved the stairs from my patio to make room for a room to be built. The forks sure came in handy.

When it's delivered, make sure the the driver goes through all of the functions with you. Also have him show you how to disconnect/reconnect the hydraulic hoses. Have them walk you through taking the loader/backhoe on/off, how to check oil, location of grease fittings, how to clean air filter &...

I bought a stump bucket from Good Works Tractor for just that purpose. It comes in real handy for digging new holes when transplanting trees/shrubs. Sure beats digging the entire hole with a shovel. You have to be careful when digging out a tree with it to transplant as if seems they are more...

Back in my earlier days I hd '76 Ford f100. Used the heck out if it hauling hay or overliading it with wood ..normal stuff for a young man to do. Sold it and an MGB when my firstborn came and boght a 1980 Buick Regal. Always missed having a truck. Over the years I've had other 1/2 ton tru ks...

Went to my dealer today and bought the filters and oil/fluids for the 400 hr service. Definitly not cheap, but at least I'm doing the labor myself.

Did the first mow of the season with the zero turn yesterday and put the flail mower on the tractor today.

I know how you feel, those hydraulic couplers are usually the hardest part for me when switching between snowblower and loader. It also doesn't help that they are located between the loader frame and the hood. Protected while in use, but a pain to reach.

Getting ready for an addition to be put on. Getting rid of hardscaping my wife has disliked since we moved in. These blocks are around 60 lbs each so the loader makes it easier, not totally easy since I have to put them in the bucket lol

Change of season readiness. I swear, the hardest part of the process is hooking up the pioneer fittings for the loader. Even after cracking the fittings on the loader to make sure there was no pressure they were still a bear to get on.

The k-connect frame under the tractor is solid with two pins that run from left to right that doesn't allow for any levelling type of movement. The only thing I can think of looking at my setup(same as the OP) is possibly not "catching " the blower with the subframe all the way on one side. When...

I've heard that having different tire pressures can affect this.

Snowblower engines do not typically have an air filter on them so you would need to do something for a filter.

Not the 5" that was called for but plenty to get out and play in. I turned on pandora and listened to a mix of Alabama, Ronnie Milsap, Alan Jackson ( you get the picture) and just enjoyed. Forgot all about the crap going on in the world for a while and smiled. It doesn't get any better than...

Glad I haven't taken the blower off yet. 5 inches of white stuff is forecasted for tomorrow.

send me a pm with your email address and I think I can help you out with a WSM.
