Turns out the steel was delivered on the 18th. I popped down today to do some trail mowing etc and found the side metal is up with the roof and trim pieces to go. The colors I choose are cream/tan sides with slate green semi gloss roof and trim. Good chance the builder will be done with his...

Before I purchased my HST L2501 I seriously considered a Kioti CK2601 HST. The specs and features lined up nicely with the L2501 with a few items that were attractive to me. The Seat in particular was much nicer on the Kioti. I thought the "build quality" from casual inspection came close to...

Unfortunately no. My builder was hoping for the steel delivery to happen this Friday (18th). I was down today to the land and did do some brush cutting of weeds that have popped up around the build. We are experiencing a drought in central Wisconsin. Even my natives that have deep roots are...

Two great looking best friend!

Thanks for the info on the trusses Old_Paint! What I was wondering about though was the steel used for the roof and sides, if that offered any structural integrity to a pole type construction such as mine. As a side note to the trusses the builder did offer to tell me that the trusses he used...

I think I jinxed myself ;) by stating that if all goes well I should have a building by the first or second week of June. LOL The builder left a message this morning that the steel will not be delivered until June 18th or there's about. But in the big picture its a very minor hiccup especially...

I went down to my land today to mow some trails with my B7100 and when I arrived I decided to take a quick drive about with the Jeep. I came around a corner, (40 yards) and surprised this fellow. I wish I could have had the time to get better photos but knew he was not going to wait around and...

Moved the B7100 to my land , lubed and checked the brush cutter. Knocked down some cool season grasses and weeds in the rifle range unit and some of my two track.

Thanks everyone for the thoughts on the steel! Hopefully the builder will take delivery of the steel this coming work week. If things go well I should have a usable building by the first to second week in June. My building is very simple in design and construction and not even close compared...

Beautiful equipment and shop!

The trusses were delivered Thursday afternoon. Yesterday the builder finished the framing except for some minor details. Running some carriage bolts and adding some diagonal bracing in the trusses if I understood correctly. Today I picked out colors. He mentioned that the steel should arrive in...

Your son has much to be proud about! As you do, sounds like your raising future patriots!

While not able to address mowing duties yet I have used my L2501 for woods clean-up and trail creation and maintenance . The tractor feels much more tractor like than my B7100 yet its very easy to maneuver in the woods. The added expense to have a third function and grapple from the very start...

Deceptive editing by omission! lol. Its far from spotless. I do hope to get after it this spring yet and gets things cleaned and arranged.

I started prepping the B7100 for duty down at the land today. Took off the front mount snowblower and back blade. I cleaned out a very packed full and stinky mouse nest in the tool box. I guess I can be happy the nest was not behind the dash! I got a coat of wax on the sheet metal and while...

I have spent more time watching tractor related videos than I care to admit. From professional glossy well done productions to very crude short 10 second clips. My goal other than entertainment is to learn something from each. It takes considerable effort and time to post videos and hope you...

I have no idea if this will apply to your tractor and situation. Do you have a "speed set device" ? My B7100 does which I never used until my BIL had set the lever for the speed device not knowing what he was doing. Next time I got on the tractor the hst pedal felt real sloppy and un...

Thanks for following along! Not much to report except touched bases with the builder. As I thought he is in a holding pattern waiting on the trusses. The lumber company he is dealing with told him 2 to 3 week wait after locking in the prices. Coming up on week 3 monday.

Spent the day yesterday pulling pine wilt affected scot pines and consolidating tree/brush piles. While all my implements are useful and have their place I am overjoyed with what I can accomplish with a grapple. Personal from CWIP (Central Wisconsin Invasive Partners)was on site spot spraying...

I have been catching this guy (I think its a male?) on different trail cams for a few weeks now. This is the first decent video. Not knowing much about black bear facts, what does a bear this size eat after coming out of the den and before berries , nuts etc become available? Live off his fat...
