Ordered mine Aug 8
I'm using bucket but being real careful. the 60" light material bucket is not heavy enough for what I'm doing. I ripped enough for now anyway, have to chip the stuff thats out of the ground. Plus I'm still cleaning up storm damage from last September.
Not today, but yesterday.
Got the diesel tank down of the shelf with the forks, put it on the trailer, got diesel (heating oil) from in town, lifted tank off trailer and took round the back (approx 250kg), connect pump leads onto battery terminals, pumped into house tank. (This makes my tractor battery flat if I don't do a decent run afterwards, the dynamo doesn't charge well when I just putter around).
Put diesel tank away. Knock pins out of pin-on forks, bang pins back into pin-on bucket. Video-ed it this time, for future use. Took 12 minutes end to end, which isn't too bad, but it went pretty well this time - they magically aligned easily.
Mow lawns before my video conference for work, which meant mowing with the loader on, which I haven't done for ages. Reminded my why I don't do that - harder to get near the house, and makes the tractor much bumpier to ride on. I think it chews the lawn up a bit more too - more load on front wheels.
Did my conference call, then took mower off, added ballast box. Drove down to help neighbour move some fill. He has an old Massey 135 I think (diesel one) with a "scoop" on the back - manual tipping dirt bucket that goes on 3ph. Took the dirt we dug to the local reserve and spread it to fill in holes and level some things. I mow that reserve, so should make it more comfortable over time. Still a lot of digging to do, maybe this weekend if it stops raining.
Put the mower back on, put the forks in the bucket, put it all away before it rained.

Well, that’s just sad. If you want a cat, I can hook you up. Don’t have any spare dogs. Cat will climb all over your tractor, but he won’t pee on it.

I didn't do anything either....
Didn't pee on the tires, though. Made me laugh.
"Ollie" is having some health issues, but is still covering the job when needed....for now...
I did get a new battery last weekend. Rain tomorrow morning. Might be a good opportunity to get that change done. Had it on a Tender for a couple days to charge it up.

Finished building my cherry picker. Has a shelf, wire under shelf for gloves, rack for the pole saw etc. that was fun. Christmas lights
will be a lot more fun putting up this year.
Ratchet strap to hold the cage onto the pallet forks? I need to make one too, so like the look of what you're doing. I have to visit brother in law to get a cage from his chemical tanks.
Your pole saw looks a bit like a string trimmer!! (I have the same combo system, so yes, I know it has a pole saw attachment)

Mowed the rest of the grass and took the deck off. Put the forks on and pressure washed the deck.
Put that away and switched out the forks for the grapple

Moved my tractor out of the garage to put oil cans on the new shelf i built. Anyone else in here collect oil cans or petroliana?

Lol yeah it is the Stihl combi system. Just have the trimmer head on it. I have a ratchet to hold it on but didn’t put it on for the pictures. Put the forks and picker away in the barn and put grapple back on. Getting ready for the hurricane. Looks like this one will be at least a Cat 4.
I collect $$$$$$ and oil filters... Over 200 varieties and counting.
Very cool man. I have Some nos oil filters laying around. Do you collect only vintage? Or new as well?
Very nice. Osha would love this haha. Do you at least have a safety chain around it in case the operator hits the wrong lever?
I go to the extreme... Corvair oil filters, because I have a Corvair, and the oil filter that the Corvair uses, is not used on any other vehicle known to man (or woman, to be politically correct). I have them in cases of 25 filters to a display case. Last year, a friend built 4 additional cases for me, but haven't gotten around to putting filters into them. I should have asked him to built more, but I didn't want to push my luck. The first 4 I built in my father in laws shop, but he passed away, and I don't have a wood working shop.
Post up some pics! I actually Scrapped a few corvair motors earlier in the year. We pull them out of the old volkswagens and put vw motors back in them. That’s was the hot swap back in the day. Until parts became obsolete
