They are loaded and are heavy as hell but manageable. I cheated and scored a 1500lb tire dolly for cheap so I just used that with a ratchet strap around the tire to keep it from tipping. I've seen it done where guys barely jack the tractor up and wiggle the tire off and walk it away. The only issue for me was, if I leaned the tire anywhere and my son knocked it over, I wouldn't be able to forgive myself so I paid for peace of mind.
A friend was going to help me this weekend with the M6060 wheels and weights but the weather has been miserable. I picked up another set of wheel weights last week and still plan on using the MX with pallet forks to get the job done. Hopefully the weather will improve this week. It's too dangerous doing this sort of thing in the rain.

Looking good. What are the dimensions of the lean-to?
It is 14’x14’x8’ at the rear, slightly higher in front. In hind sight I should have done 12x16, but this works. I was restricted by whether or not I wanted to get a permit, under 200 sqft I’m good to go without government interference.

Can you add another shed next year? In my area, the limit is $1000 before a permit is required and no definition about time or anything else. My projects will be $999 at a time.

Inaugural run for the cup holder today. Started with it on the ROPS and moved it down to the fender. Smaller bottles vibrate out. Gonna get some hose and split it so I can go around the base and the arms. Will keep things from sliding out and cut down damage to larger containers

Clean your spoons! I seeded the lawn with gravel a couple of times this winter with the blower because we didn't have any frost. I had around 15 of the spoons with a stone jammed in them.

Did a small area of rough brush mitigation/land clearing with the FEL At this point it was just playing with the homemade loader to see what it will and will not do, and for a little 17hp tractor with a home garage built FEL I'm actually pretty impressed. I did manage to get myself into a couple "sticky situations" and had to use the diff lock with the hand throttle combined with the two stick loader valve to wiggle myself back out but all in all I didn't get completely stuck, just right on the edge of having a Sunday afternoon panic attack

Agree, especially with wheels/tires that size. The L/LX are the biggest I would be comfortable handling solo with or without the tire dolly, you're playing it smart using the MX with the forks. Post some pics when you get started.

Excellent! Nice pair of "4 wheelers" 😁
ha ha, yeah they work out good around here especially over the winter when it’s too wet to get the Bota out. Funny thing is they got a go kart too, but they would rather drive those or the Bota 😂

Tree job today for a repeat client that wanted to start some privacy screening. After I told him that he didn't need a permit for trees but he would absolutely need one for a fence, that was an easy sell.

I had my nephew dig some of the holes (first time on a machine...and he loved it!). I would be inclined to tell you all that giving someone an opportunity to run a machine for the first time makes it all worth it to me. I absolutely enjoy the opportunity to show someone how to do it (tractor or mini excavator). The expression on their faces is priceless (to me anyway).
