Spent yesterday at a friend’s mother’s house grubbing briars and undergrowth from an area where she had a bunch of hardwoods cut about 5 years ago and and bush hogged last year. First time I towed the LX behind my F-150 on my ancient trailer. Pulled just fine, good load distribution, no weirdness, 55 mph ride down US31. Didn’t want to get on the interstate with the first trip.
Didn’t take any photos, but burned a full tank of fuel and ended up with a pile of scrub and weeds about 30 feet across and 10 feet high. Ain’t gonna burn with that much dirt in it, but should make some dandy compost
Today, I modified a County Line subsoiler to work with my HaulMaster quick hitch. I found the specs for different category hitch configurations and found out the HaulMaster was designed for Cat 3 implements on a Cat 2 hitch. I had a mix of Cat 1 and 2 stuff that was a PITA to use the QH with. What’s the point in having a quick hitch if only 2 out of 5 implements work on it. So I reconfigured the implements I could to Cat 3 dimensions and modified the ones I couldn’t. Most had Cat 1 top and lift pins, so I got a bunch of bushings from TSC (where the missus works now) to make all of them fit the Cat 3 hooks on the QH. Except for the landscape rake, now I can hook up all of my implements without leaving the seat. The rake has a built in kick stand that I have to stow before it can be used.
