You have to hinge it forward to provide enough clearance to open the hood. Not trying to dissuade you from adding all the bolts you care to add, but you’ll have to hinge it forward or take it off to open the hood.
Ok, well after taking the picture i drilled and put a half inch bolt in the same area as the pull pin on the other side. To be honest except at the dealer i never opened the hood.
May just put a half inch hitch pin in there now.
Thanks 😊

Regen today and I decided to make sure I could park and exit and regen would continue. Placed in N, set parking brake, and left throttle high, left the cab. Regen went just fine. All my previous ones occurred while I was working so I just kept on going. Nice to confirm you can at least exit and regen will finish.

Yep. Had mine regen once while we were running it stationary chipping at 540PTO RPM. Didn’t even know it was doing it until I got on to shut down and saw the light. It finished about 30 seconds later so it had to have been at it for a while.

By grill guard I meant I bought one of those overpriced (IMO) aftermarket water jet cut shields that bolt to the factory guard. It’s only money.

I’m also now shopping for a pto wood chipper. 😬
You will be happy you have the grill guard. I have been using my grapple quite a bit & the grill guard has saved me some broken plastic.

Sitting here in my office/workshop doing my daily job and glance up at the shelf behind my desk and what do I see. My bottles of Ceramic coating and GLISS. Guess what will be going on my new tractor as soon is it reaches 70* daily.

My B2410 that is 20 years old still has a nice shine and not faded, and that was waxed yearly, the new one will get ceramic and never be waxed again.

It's also in the 50's here today and I'm itching to do a ton of work with the tractor. Must wait till everything dries out :(
I did install a Lown diff pedal. I don't know about other people but I find I'm really good at having my foot slip off that little bent rod. . .

Put my Snowplow back on as much as I hated to looks like we're going to get a plowable snow tomorrow. I can't wait till spring gets here.

I had my Harley ceramic coated. Dirt dries rinses right off. Think ill try the spray kind on the tractor. Good idea 💡
Thanks

Today was snow day; no work. Yesterday removing fence posts from the old chicken yard. Then auger holes to plant the posts in the vineyard.

I noticed the carry all I retrieved yesterday from the shed has funky smell. The funk is thawed out dead liquid mouse in bottom of pvc tool holder tube :( .. Heated garage brings this kinda stuff to life.

Did driveway hopefully last time this season. Stone had all thawed, was quite a challenge with the snowblower. Back blade wasn’t much better. Didn’t do a very good job

Supposed to be near 60 degrees in a couple days.

An aside, we lost power other night due to winds taking a large white pine down, which took power and cable lines with it.

Amazing the lower communication line didn’t break or pull poles down. It also supported the butt log when the tree was topped. Bounced up 10’ or so.

Cutter from Asplundh Tree Service, power company’s contractor, was awesome. Really knew what to do. He limbed around it, and got it to roll right off the line. Line bounced right back up where it belonged.

As soon as power was restored, we also had cable and internet, fed off that line. Amazing.

For scale, those firewood blocks in the foreground are 20” diameter or so. Betting log is crowding 32” or so a butt end.

Not sure my little BX can get that off the hill..... "Moline might be albe to pull it other direction...

Probably has 300 board feet in it…..but since it snapped off clean, might be a little shaky anyway.

Well, I learned not to let the pile build up until the chips get into the drive roller and knock the belts off 🤦‍♂️

I share your pain RCW as I was out today twice with the 8N/front blade. What a mess of stone I moved around as it was not frozen at all. Not going to be pretty when this stuff melts. Get to try the york rake on the kubota to clean it off the lawn I guess.

Bill - - true enough.... Guessing we're at 6-8"...how much you get?

Afterthought, maybe I should have just driven over it to pack it down, and blow out driveway apron.

Beyond our 50's yesterday, wonder if this started with a little rain when it started....either way, it was a mess....
