Got the rock mainly done this morning. Ill get the sand leveled for the sod and hopefully pick that up tomorrow.
I got 23 ton of 3/4 process delivered at 2 this afternoon. Took until 6:30 to spread it with the box blade over the driveway. Tomorrow I'll finish trimming it all with the back blade.

I ran to the dealer and picked up a five gallon pail of UDT2, both hydro filters and an oil filter. Then off to the auto parts for some T6 Rotella oil (along with oil/filter for my truck). Zoinks, that was a pricey outing!
I am a bit shy of 50 hours (still) but wanted everything handy for when I get there.
edit……I looked at the new stock on the lot. A few LXs with and without loaders/cabs, various Ls and Bs with and without loaders and backhoes.

Another couple of hours on the driveway. I really could use another 20+ ton of material but I'm going to see how it does after it packs down. If we ever get any rain that is. . .
After the back blade moved over some material and smoothed things out I back bladed the fel and it came out looking ok.
Here is what it looked like after the back blade. btw I could not have done this at all without that offset.

Started putting on a few new toys, but the quick connect doesn't line up correctly. I guess I will have to wait until Tuesday when BXpanded opens.
Finished up my L2501 HYD filter + hose manifold skid plate and got it installed on the tractor.
$16.07 / ton
delivery was $109.12
and then I see they added a $47 fuel surcharge. they never mentioned that on the phone
It's just a bs way to make more $$$. I'm abt 15 miles from the plant (Meriden). 30 miles roundtrip, one empty. If the damn truck gets an average of 5mpg then they burn 6 gallons of diesel. At $5.00 / gal that's $30.00, total. Assuming they were paying $3.00 / gal before it got crazy they are charging an additional $35.00 over their actual increase.Went by the Ms dealer on my way in yesterday. They had a B, BX and MX5400 with loaders, and a small backhoe. They've had Bad Boy mowers and had gotten some Land Pride and Bad Boy attachments in. I'm not real impressed with the Bad Boy cutters and 70" grapple. Price was good (~$1700 on the grapple) but it didn't seem that well made. The cutters don't have a full size stump jumper - maybe these are the lower-end models.
Today, I took Katy's FEL valve off to install the third section for a future grapple. I had so much fun welding on ears for the longer valve that I got to do it over, correct orientation this time. Maybe I'll post a picture when I get some paint over my 'weld'/grinding.

took a break from dropping trees to put in a shed pad...er...POD pad as it will be. Friend of mine wants it gone, all I have to do is haul it here....so, why not?
Yesterday I started the install of the 3rd function and quick attach remote. Got the unit mounted, and somehow in the process of moving the fitting bracket for the loader from the inside, to the outside where the manual shows it, the bucket tilt seized up and tilt stopped functioning. I could raise and lower, but not tilt. I put the bracket back where it was originally installed and it works again. This one has me stumped, it's not like it is pinching a hose or anything, all the hoses move freely inside the tube.
Anyway, I got all the brackets installed and the lines attached, but when I tried to take the fittings apart under the seat, I found I do not have a wrench that size, looks like a 1 1/16" fitting. Tried using an adjustable, but that Frakking thing is TIGHT!!!! Off to get a wrench today so I can get the job done.
Interesting how there is a mix of metric and sae fittings. The bolts for the control valves to frame are 10mm x 1.25, but use a 9/16 socket. The bolts for the brackets however are 12mm.

Yes it is.
But as you can see I got to play in the mud before it happened. That was a seriously messy tire repair.
That 1-1/16 might be a 27mm and the 9/16 might be 14mm.
When your tilt didn't work, I wonder if you had a good connection at the hose fittings.

Couple days ago I used the 4' rotary cutter at my son's house that he just moved into. Small patch of overgrown grass/brush/etc. Worked pretty good. Past couple days in the evening I've been working on the 6 truckloads of free fill I got and moving it to where I eventually want to put a larger shed...
