That too.

Well, starting next week I will finally have my new L4060HSTC-LE to work with/on. Going to be putting a few hours on it almost immediately using the pallet forks. I will be getting a heavy duty warehouse rack, putting my implements on pallets and storing them on the rack, getting them off the floor and making room in the barn to store my hay equipment. Between the mowers, rake/graders, tiller and box scraper, I will have plenty of clear space to work with.

Replaced the bush hog trail wheel. Wife picked up a replacement bolt that had broken at Lowes this morning.

Retorqued the blade nuts. Both were loose. Good procedure to follow: run without tail wheel for a bit and retorque.

Awesome…enjoy that new orange paint. What pallet forks did you get?

Oh, maybe I should do that on mine to loosen up the blade. One blade doesn't rotate freely, never did, so when I hit something it takes a while for it to swing back out and stop shaking.

Ordered a Virnig V30 60” grapple for my LX2610 today. Just gotta decide on which 3rd function kit now.
The choices are Kubota, WR Long, Land Pride and Summit. The prices are from highest to lowest as listed and so is the quality. The Kubota may not be available, but if it is there is no comparison.

Started clearing the snow for easier access the the bush for maple season. We have had way less snow then previous years. Usually I don’t bother trying to clear the trails. my season starts on snowmobile but this year the defender side by side will be able to access without needing tracks. Getting the itch to at least get my lines up and ready to start tapping we had rain all day the day before then a quick cold snap to -12 today. All that rain packed the snow down on most the trail lower then the belly of the tractor. Previous years it’s been 2+ feet even packed. Crazy

Any saving grace, maple sap tubing showed up on our lot next door. He does about 150 taps on our property, about 1,000 taps total.

Hopefully a sign of some better weather to come. Many have made syrup already.

Plugged in the block heater, put the snowblower on, and got it ready for the 8 - 12 inches of snow that we are supposed to get. Got about 1" overnight, and now it is raining. If it continues to rain, then I will be taking the snowblower off and putting the blade back on to clear the slush.

Pretty much the same here as DustyRusty's place. We got about 3" of icy mix. Had to clear it from the driveway before it freezes tonight or I'd be stuck here until April.
The blower was awesome on the top 2-1/2"

I had to use the bucket with the toothbar to scrape down to the frozen gravel as it was surprising solid :(

The toothbar is wicked!

Well, I decided to mow the weeds today. As usual I have to remove the FEL and after disconnecting the bucket and third function hydraulic connections, I realized that I forgot relieve the hydraulic pressure in the lines! So, at that point I decided just go ahead and mow and reconnecting the lines would be tomorrow's problem.
When I finished mowing, I decided to try reconnecting the lines. And miracles do happen! The third function connected much easier than usual since it always is a pain in the a_ _ and the FEL was a little harder than usual but after relieving the pressure, it went together real easy the second time. 😱

For what it’s worth, I have to get into the road to do the driveway apron. I also do the shoulder in front of the mailboxes across the road for our house and the neighbors directly across from us. About 30 yards over there.

Being seen is a good thing. I usually wear a safety yellow jacket and hat, but improved lighting on the machine helps.

I replaced all tractor bulbs with LED with good lumens, and also use my removable LED “antennae-like” work lights up high on the ROPS.

My garage is very well lit, but you hopefully can see the lights are bright. I don’t have the headlights on, but they’re LED as well.

Where'd you find the LED bulbs? Got the same (looks like) HF QH. I've put silver tape over those pins that secure the bigger pins holding it onto the lower lift arms. Had some brush pull one of the small pins out, and the bigger pin almost came all the way out before I started taping them. Looks like you bent the original top link and had to replace it like I did on the JD 2025R.

Removed the bush hog and put the chipper back on. Supposed to be dry here next 7 days. Should be able to finally get down the hill a bit and do some chipping.

Wow, I cleared the drive with the new tractor and it is so much nicer than the B2410. Better visibility, smoother motions, and the auto throttle is the boss! Need to fine tune the bucket level, but aside from that, nice. I can finally put the bucket flat and still steer.

Have a whole list of things to do now that I have pallet forks too, just need a couple more pallets and a steel rack to get started.
