Well your on the right track to manage it. Water and bog is a bad combination. I remember loosing a Cat 245 excavator in Lab. City in the bog. Man we spent days getting the bugger out lol. Stay well over there. Love the West Coast. Got a brother over in Corner Brook and my Navy son was stationed there for two years. Bought my GoldWing from Scott's Motor Sports. If you need anything from my end just let me know.
Ha. No apologies necessary my friend. That happens to me as well on timesMan I didn't even notice that you were on the east coast, my opologies. Same for me bud, you need something out here just let me know.
Cleaning up some wood this morning. Poured hard all nite so letting the big field sit for few hours before continuing.

. That's a great photo. Looks like you got a great collection of equipment. Now that's the money shot right there. Nice rig.Congrats on getting it. That being said I had to get the Kubota ZG222Z. My buddy owns the dealership in St.John's and Corner Brook so I get a good price on my Bota stuff. I did get the heavy fabricated deck with the mulching kit and the optional front jack up kit but its hard to beat any ZTR over a regular mower.Got a chance to do some mowing on my new Husqvarna MZ-T 61" zero degree. Had it for about two weeks now, just slays my 245 with 5' flail mower. Mowing time cut in a little better than half. Considering I am mowing a few acres of nursery sod 2-3 times a week this is a big deal to me.

Priced the Kubota's of course but they could not touch this mower for cut width and price.
Oh man what a photo. I don't want to tell everyone just how beautiful the west coast of Newfoundland is because everyone will move there.That looks to be a beast of a mower wildfire, great pics as well bud.
Out today cutting some rape seed greens, or turnip greens as they are called around here...

Only 1 question....Do you plan on building a back stop so the bags wil not ride the lift arms at you?
The hubs came, and boy are they a VAST improvement over the originals! I have only been unhappy about two things on my Kubota- the turnbuckles and the hubs. Now almost perfect is a thing of the past.
I've done that twice now with my BX1870, once taking it into the garage and once putting it back in it's home in the shed. Now I keep the ROPS folded all the time because if I don't, I absolutely know that with my memory I'll do it again. I feel your pain though.Here's my contribution:
And you can laugh at me now...
I forgot that diesels develop nearly full horsepower just off-idle, and it's obvious that the hydrostat is set up to take advantage of this. I had the tractor up off idle for faster cool-down, and so I rolled right up the ramp into the barn.
...and forgot (again) to lower the ROPS.
The big CRACK!! sound reminded me.
Cracked the door header on the barn. Fortunately the 2x4 that I cracked is the little thin one that the doors close against and not the big one above it that is the actual tie between the top plates.
Lesson learned? Jeepers, I hope so.
