Had our first measurable snow here in central Wisconsin which gave me a excuse to fire up my B7100. Since I have the L2501 at my land the 7100 is pretty much relegated to snow fighting duties.

The video is akin to watching paint dry but here it is. :)

I learned a valuable lesson, one I knew, but must have been filed in the back of the brain.
Dont blow the leaves off your deck when your tractor is wet.

My sawmilling customer is building a cabin and decided on Cedar stairs and the risers/treads will be half logs.

I sawed about half of the order Saturday and.....

Finished sawing today. The hand rails will be 2X4's & 2X6's with 2X2 spindles. The landings will be various widths of 1".

And when the sawing is finished the cleanup begins.

It really was not as bad as it looks here.

But I was still happy to git-r-done. That ole M4900 loves to work. (y)
Won't be any bugs around there for a while. They'll have moth-proof stairs. I LOVE the smell of fresh cedar.

A wood chipper would certainly make that cedar salable / valuable to anyone wanting an air freshener or closet anti-moth sock.
Just cut it up in blocks. No need to chip it. That's exactly what we had in our closets when I was a kid.

Used my 27 year old L2350DT to push some cut sections of a Hackberry tree off into in ditch.

Its a compact tractor and only 25 hp. but I am always impressed at how well it will 'push' things

It won't lift much, will 'pull' OK but reaches a point where the tires just spin if I try to overwork it.

But it will 'push' like a glacier. I am continually surprised at what this small tractor will move.

In low range and 4wd it easily handles things I just wouldn't expect it to do.

In the pic below....not that big a deal. A section of trunk about 10' long and 32" in diameter.

Hackberry isn't as heavy as say Oak, but 'skidding' it along the ground creates pretty good resistance.

Little Orange Tractor handled it easily.

That's a big ol' hackberry. When they get that big, they're fairly smooth on the trunk bark. When they're about 8" in diameter, they're rough as a cob, and will seriously grind skin off if you slide down it. Don't ask me how I know.

Installed the armrests on my L3302. Literally a 5 minute job. Got them from Coleman Equipment for $71. Part #L2280

Very nice!!
I looked for those arm rests to no avail, do you have a link.
Thanks!

Oh, man! Those wouldn't happen to fit the 3901, would they?
View attachment 90693
Love that movie!
I don’t know if it’ll work with the 3901. I attached a copy of the instructions. Maybe that’ll help determine? The “dimples“ that are mentioned are actually little pre drilled holes. If you can press the seat cushion back slightly away from the molded seat-back edge, you should be able to slide the speed clip nuts in place and therefore would just need to pre drill the holes after lining everything up.

My super easy switch to winter running. Moved from outdoor location to winter home in machine shed. Adjusted plow trip springs from dirt/gravel/logs to snow.

Was told that rinsing off the green tarps and putting them on the wife's clothes line to dry was not my smartest move.

Given enough time, I am relatively certain that she will forgive you. If not, keep drying your tarps on the clothesline. :)

Chains mounted using the “roll them on” method. No more heavy lifting and dragging.
These chains were originally sized to fit my old L4630 with industrial tires so they were way too small for the M6040 with ags. I had to jury rig them to fit. the bigger, taller tires

Finally removed my MMM.

Then I plowed my 220' driveway + turnarounds and paths with the bucket of the BX---first time. I am usually a lot more proactive getting the snowblower on about mid October, but was away late October into November this year and when I got back to Canada was still too much in Vacation Mode - LOL!

Doing snow with the bucket is interesting but not nearly as efficient as a big blower out front.

Maybe I'll install it tomorrow to report a different "what did you do on your tractor today" activity.

I'm away from home this week for work and have a young woman dog/house sitting for me. She took this photo last night after coming home and seeing fires on the hillsides above my property. The logging company has started to burn the slash piles now that there's little chance of burning down the county. It's a cool photo with the MX6000 in the foreground.

I just pulled 16 brand new used IBC totes off of my dad's trailer and stashed them behind the pole barn. I think I'm done splitting wood for the year (stacking wood in the cages...), so I'll deal with them in the spring.
Used the box blade to clean a foot or so of snow out of the most important parts of the driveway. I mean, I knew it was coming, but the snow kinda took everybody by surprise. I thought we'd get some more cold and ramp up to it. Still have racing slicks on the van until the snows we ordered come in on Tuesday. It's pretty bad.
Pulled my roller down some of my trails. I'm thinking I'm going to try to use it like a groomer and see if I can maintain a bit of a sledding hill for the kids. All I know is the little tractor is way WAY too small for that thing. I'll have to do it with the big tractor from now on.
I did finally get the blower on the big tractor. It's in the garage waiting for some grease and whatnot. Unfortunately I had to come into work for a few hours of OT. And that's where I sit now. Don't tell my boss I'm on here. (I'm sure they already know...)

Swapped my grapple and box blade for the winter setup of bucket and rear blade. Not a huge chore there BUT it meant that I had to move a bunch of stuff around my storage garage to get it to fit comfortably as it’s quite a bit longer in this configuration. I still have to mount the skid shoes on the blade. The mounts aren’t quite made for my blade so I gotta figure out how to make them work. Not a big deal but dinner was calling.

I am most happy though with receiving, configuring and hooking up my wifi “smart” plug for my block heater. I have no interest in a smart home, Alexa, Siri, or whatever. This can work with those systems or on it’s own. Only took 5 minutes to load the app and pair it. They claimed a 300’ range in the open. The plug is about 150’ from the router. Zero issues, works like a charm. Woot!
