No rake but the rear blades are a similar design and concern. They either want to roll on their back or tilt forward with the top in to the ground. I use a couple of dolly’s from Harbor Freight and rest the blade on the back. It allows me to easily position the attachment and get the lower arms...

Hopped on the B1700 and mowed for a couple hours. Rain the next three days so might as well get it while I’m not air boating. After 4 hrs of tractor time the back feels great. Bring on the summer !

It will take some getting used to but after 4 passes with the scarifiers down and 4 more with just the plane, it’s looking pretty good. I have 45 min at this point and probably another 20 to go. This GS1572 is all my B32 can handle. Need to get a bucket of stone to help get some down pressure...

Plan a worked. Storms moving in so I will play tomorrow. Had to put on the box blade for ballast but she lifted around 3” and came out without damage

New toy Saturday. Time for a cup of coffee and think about the unloading

Here they are assembled. Filling them with the corn shocks I removed from the ditch and adding soil on top. Can’t buy bulk topsoil around here this year so bags it is

No they are powder coated

I got mine end of season at Rural King. I think I paid 1.20/gal for the -20 stuff a few years back. As far as using it for what it is intended, I make my own with the blue tablets and isopropyl in the winter

At some point someone said “hold my beer”

Noticed the grab handle in the B1700 was loose the other day. Inspected it at lunch and a nut was missing. The wife was in town so I had her grab one from the store. M10-1.25 flange nut. 14mm socket needed. Ran it on and tightened all handles on both the B1700 and the B3200. All were loose...

Thank you sir

Done at 9 and pulled around 11:30. Another successful smoke.

More rock work as I worked on the new turning area, ripped out the old raised gardens and filled a few more low spots on the drive

Threw a shoulder on the smoker this morning. I usually wait till late evening but this one will be done here around 9. I’ll let it rest till midnight or and off to the fridge to be pulled in the morning

I was on tick tube duty and this guy showed up. 23 tons of 617’s or 57’s with dust. My son is learning valuable FEL skills and I now have him grading the drive.

Back in to the garage to finish them up. Pointers from this round. Each tube takes about 1.5 cotton balls shredded. I found that making a pile and then compressing to insert helps keep the cotton in the tube. Don’t try to hold on to the cotton while pulling it apart, you just compress it and...

I have 25 acres here with 11 being woods the big issues are the tree lines and the tall grass areas I don’t mow. This batch will be around 25 tubes and disbursed between the house mowed area and field where the pup is getting ticks. Will also drop some in the gardens around the house...

The cardboard degrades over time and I don’t have to go pick them back up.

Cotton is not dry. I moved it around in the sun today so I’m hoping I can assemble and deploy Monday after work

Had I been thinking I would have hit RK as well. TSC is about 30 minutes further in the opposite direction. I didn’t want to buy nuts as well since I have a ton but yeah, SAE would have been better
