Thank you! Slowly getting the hang of the box blade after about 60+ yards of earth moving
I'll need to hit the lottery first, BXs cost as much as my LX did in 2022get that boy a BX!
a little Deere or case would be cool too though!

Almost finished adding a lane shark to mine. By almost I mean I need to remake a hose.

Evening 2 on additional parking pad.
Getting it cleaned up:
Installation of road fabric with assistance from my favorite helper (and chief inspector):
It looks like it passed inspection. All good he says !
funny, this morning there was a hen turkey taking an hour long dirt bath in the dry dirt dust. I guess she had some fleas or ticks. She flopped around in the dust so much that she made a hole. It was pretty funny to watch.

Kids can be amazing, there is a place outside of Houston, TX that has small equipment that they rent out mini equpment for kids that are 3 years and up. It's like a big sandbox for kids and it's surprising how quickly they learn and how good they are running stuff. Don't know if it's up and running, but there was a place that used that same concept, except it was for adults running full sized equipment.While we had the hoe on yesterday we dug up a stump in the front.

"henrietta" is back again looking for her favorite dust bowl. She's looking really confused now that I covered her day spa with road fabric.

I see you have the Piranha bar. Makes a huge difference on the LX2610.
Been stirring dust for a week with mine, so maybe spa day tomorrow in the new parking area we just finished today. Spread 7 yards of #57, finished the grading around the driveway where I used up every bit of the fill I
dug outta parking area. Seeded the backfill and spread straw. Gotta go move the sprinklers.

Could I interest you in a lightly used Pennsylvania Panzer?
Ran when parked.
Or was it next to last time it was parkedā¦
Yeah there hasn't been rain here in weeks. The grass is all but burnt. The tractors been used on just about every day off I have on dirt work so the dust was unreal. Then it decided to sprinkle, just enough glue it to the tractor and not enough to rinse anything off or even keep the dust down. The dirty picture really didn't do it justice to how nasty it was. Now its about to be a spa day for me. Got dirt everywhere including my teeth.
Why didnāt you dust that off for momma instead of the new Bota?Could I interest you in a lightly used Pennsylvania Panzer? View attachment 104403

I would love that!
Yep, been āgrittingā my teeth too. Dryer than a popcorn fart here. The centipede is still going ok, but the normal later spring/ early summer clover has taken a hit. Weāre having a very odd year. We had a late hard freeze that had some curious effects on a lot of different plants. I have a lot of clay, so it retains water pretty well. But once it gets dry, may as well be spraying watwr on bricks. No Mow May was a real thing, though it had very little to do with carbon footprint. I donāt cut the grass when itās dry until the weeds get at least knee high. Centipede doesnāt tolerate cutting in dry spells very much, and centipede is what I have, like it or not.
Let you in on a little secret. I had to remove nearly 18 inches of soil/fill. I used a subsoiler to cut the area I wanted to excavate down to about 14ā, then again to break up the high spots. Between that and the Piranha, I dug out enough for 3 parking spaces that could actually accommodate 4 cars in an afternoon. Hard red clay soil. Gonna post Before/After photos tomorrow.

After doing a bit of grass management with the MX and flail earlier this evening I got the disc hooked up to the M and chipped away a bit at the second driveway. I bought the disc locally last year for $1,150 and thought it might be useful. It's a beast and I like the hydraulic lift/lower feature.
Over the weekend I drained all of the oil out of the hydraulic cylinder and inordinately long hoses, which was a good thing given how dark and dirty it looked. The tires are good enough for now but I'll have to do something about the very worn pintle type coupler on the disc. It's an articulating type in need of attention, and there are some other features on the disc I need to figure out. Overall it was a good first run up and down a couple of times. I'll get the rock bucket on the MX and pick out the larger rocks before loading dirt out and into one of the dump trailers to be relocated. Eventually I'll bring in some 3" minus or something, and then cover that with typical 3/4" crush driveway gravel.
This additional 175 yards of driveway will add to snow plowing in the winter, but it'll be great to have a loop on the property both for pulling trailers up to the house, and in the winter months to avoid the hairpin turn at the top of the common driveway that my truck struggles with in 4WD.

The B2601 got the 50 hour service. Engine oil and filter, hydraulic and HST filters (spilled 2.5 quarts in that venture, from the hydraulic filter on the right side). The brake zerk greased (and saw another half dozen places underneath where there should be zerks that there are not). The mower deck got the 50 hour service too. 5 zerks on the deck, 3 on the drive line and the gear box oil changed (it came out looking new). The outer air filter was just too dirty for me to put back in even after blowing it off, so I replaced it. Checked the front axle oil level, it was fine. Gave it a small drink of antifreeze to top off the overflow bottle.
Tell you what, that guy was slow (and kind of sweaty and oily). I drank three iced mochas in my air conditioned truck waiting for him to finish. I didnāt tip him when I pulled off. And I noticed he didnāt even run it though the complimentary wash, something about doing it next time. He might have filled the fuel tank, but so what!?

I like that little tractor. Reminds me of a bolens my uncle had 55 yrs ago that I used to mow with for him while he worked on Saturday morning. Was built like a tank with a cast front axle too and you drove over the deck to put it on.Could I interest you in a lightly used Pennsylvania Panzer? View attachment 104403

Great memory, thanks for posting this! Wouldn't mind adding it to my bunch.
