Not often I get to use it in the summer months because It's used only for snow clearing. Wifey said the front fence had to go and she ordered 67 Hedge plants to go in it's place. Problem #1. No back hoe attachment but I decided to dig it with the front bucket. Actually worked out pretty good considering there were a few big rocks here and there. Got to use the forks to move a few things around as well.

After I got it all dug out I filled it with top soil and did the planting. Man it was sure nice to sit in the air conditioned cab and I almost forgot how nice the air ride seat felt :)

Wifey is very happy now :D

I can understand your shock guys in seeing the tractor in the dirt. The locals were the same way. There were vehicles pulling over the watch me working. I think they were waiting to see if I was going to use the snow blower to spread the topsoil :D

Not to worry. Before it was put back in storage it got washed, waxed and tire dressing ;)

Come on winter :D

Geeze. I'm loosing it. Forgot about this thread :eek:
Ya I had to laugh reading your comments. I think the locals thought I was going to blow the top soil in the ditch. It do look strange seeing a tractor out on the road on a hot summer day with a snow blower on it :D

How is your knee? Did you get the replacment yet?

Ah it sounds like your going to survive. That's a good thing ;)
You'll be glad you got it done not to long from now. Sure is a pile of people around here going through the same procedure and all I've heard was good from it. Remember, chin up and smile because you'll soon be on the tractor.

Well the neighbour called today asking if I could come over with the tractor to help move a stump. Man those stumps can be a bugger to get out. I used the forks and up it went. Everyone was happy including me, I got to use the tractor :D

Thanks! My personal property is 3 acres. The tractor is used exclusively for snow clearing contracts so that's why it's so clean. From time to time I do get to play in it. It's got a whopping 78 hours on it now.

Ha. I got a good chuckle out of that. Holy smoke. When I got back to the shop I got the pressure washer out and cleaned the tires. Even the locals tease me if they see the tractor dirty. I did have fun using it plus I got to help a friend out. Win win I call it.

Four new mods in the works for the tractor so I'll post threads on them as soon as I get them done.

Well now seeing that you got it dirty not once but 2 times this summer I have to figure that your ready for a new one. And, well, the offer still stands just like the other one. I will take this little orange waff off your hands, feed it water it give it a good home where it can live out it's days in peace and quiet, and let it play when ever it feels the need.. I just can't understand how anyone can abuse such a sweet little tractor like you do:rolleyes:

I know what your problem is. Yep. Your just to kind. Offering to take that old worn out 78 hour machine off my hands is just over the top and especially knowing it had some dirt on it at one point. :D

Well I get to spend the day building and adding the new mods to it. Between weddings and work in the shop it's hard finding fun time like this but today it will happen. :cool:

Thanks for the offer :p
