Hoping I don’t need it for quite a while….❄❄

Will allow the Mrs. to get her car in other side of the garage.

I have a question. Never used or owned a backhoe but why do you take all four wheel off the ground? Is there an advantage to it when using the backhoe?
Stability!
Many however, raise the machine to a ridiculously high position, and that is poor technique.
Just keeping the machine weight off the whees is the best/most stable position.

This afternoon we cut moved some maple tree chunks from the neighbors across the way…grapple just barely opened enough to get ‘em in…had to cut from both sides ….it was about as much as the little girl could handle going up the hill/road with the larger pieces…still some color in the leaves that are left. The new ballast box / top box worked very well.

Used the L2501 to aid in a differential swap when supply issues with parts on back order prevented overhauling the original diff.

Hollow maple tree in the middle of intersection of our private road where it splits off to various driveways. Trying to make a turn through there with a trailer more than about 8’ is somewhere between challenging and irritating. Never quite understood the reasoning behind leaving it there, but Dad always wanted it to stay. He and I were very clear that when he was no longer around to protect it, it was leaving.

Chipper took care of the limbs yesterday afternoon.

Skunk came to visit while we were chipping. He didn’t seem to care what we were doing or how much racket we were making. They’re weird little animals.

This morning, before church, continued cleaning as much gravel as possible away from the stump.

The WG24 took care of the stump. First day doing much with it. A little work with the loader and a rake got the road fixed. Suspect I’ll revisit a final grade after it settles in over the next couple months. Hauled off all the chips from the stump, two and a half bucket loads of them, and backfilled the hole with granite fines and gravel. Topped it with 3/4”.

Took out about 10 additional stumps around the yards and in trails near the houses. This was one of the larger ones, a white oak about 28”.

Don’t know exactly how long it took to grind. Didn’t seem very long. Took a couple hours to do about 10, including backfilling and cleanup as needed, but some were only about 10”. Stump grinder was definitely a good addition to the equipment stable.

Glad to see that its working well for you. I can't recommend the WG24 enough if you're "blessed" with lots of ugly stumps.

Gave my new L3901 a bath after couple of months of hard work building a fire wood shed, a few roads and taking down about 12 Tamarac trees and prepping a site for a new shop.

After moving a solar array 1/4 mile without breaking anything, the last 1/4 mile to my shop was in the first blinding blizzard of the year. Literally blinding, a couple minutes after I was in the tractor shed, it was over.

Glad to hear you made it without rolling the whole rig sideways.

Mowed the area between our driveway and my naked neighbor's, loaded with wing stem. He came out later and asked me if I'd mow some of his up among some trees as he could not get his 4 series JD in there. I did it. He offered me a beer, but I had to turn that down because I have severe celiac disease, and been is gluten.

oh crap - someone else with the same idea as I had :(
It must be true Winter is Coming and with it the White Walkers snow.

It's been raining for the last couple of days and will be for a few more. I can't get the tractor in the backyard to pick up the blower. Guess today will be just greasing.

Did another round of leaves and grass pickup for us and the neighbors. Sure is nice having a small dump trailer! Then the Mrs. put a new SMV sign she made on the ballast box as I had painted the box a month ago and peeled the old one off.

Sure wish this weather here in MI would continue.
