There's been a Canadian distributor for a couple years so no pain on that side. It's costly but, I'm impressed witht the quality so far putting it together.

The BXpanded FEL dolly showed up, threw it together (installed four casters), and tested it out in the driveway - it's pretty damn cool - no more tearing up the driveway with the stand, no more looking for a flat spot in the grass to take it off, to only then to curse the day I took it off in the first place when trying to reinstall. I can easily move the FEL around by hand after its on there, not that I really needed that, but it's for sure something I didn't know I "needed", but super glad I now have.

Please post up some images of the FEL Cart. Preferably without the loader sitting on it.

Started tearing up my front yard to grade it away from the house. I used my sod cutter to peel off the grass and used it to slice off the dirt 2” at a time. View attachment 114655

I see something cool peeking from the corner of the house. Looks like it want's to help.

I used it to hang my Mule Deer yesterday and to take it down today. Then, I used it to put in my truck bed and pulled it to the back of the bed. It was a pretty heavy bodied old buck. Sorry, no good pictures, but maybe after the euro mount is done in a week or two.

A couple of days ago, I used it carry bags of concrete. https://www.orangetractortalks.com/forums/threads/pallet-forks-helped-again.65894/

That is my 1974 Cub Cadet model 129 AKA mini IH 1066. It has a hydraulic power angle blade that I used to push some of the dirt around.

No pictures of said mule deer and kubota in action... lame.

Sweet little tractor. Well taken care of. What size motor is in it?

Thanks. I tore it down and painted it in 2014. It has a 12hp K301 Kohler. It’s actually a model 149 but since it has a 12hp instead of the original 14hp, I call it a 129.

8" of snow over the past 48 hours but it's the worst kind of snow being wet and heavy. I made the mistake of blowing snow off the asphalt late yesterday afternoon and it left a thin layer of slush which froze overnight.

It's always a bit of a pain getting implements off and on again, but doing it in 8" of snow makes it that much more "enjoyable". Yesterday I removed the Del Morino flail mower and rock bucket, removed the hydraulic top link and replaced with a solid link, removed the right side lift arm link and replaced it with the hydaulic link, put the QH15 back on, got the snow blade on and hoses connected, and got the blower on and hoses connected. Then I ran the plow and blower on close to 400 yards of driveway. The gravel driveway is too soft for plowing to be honest and there was a tendency to move gravel with the snow.

Anyway, I'm set up for winter and looking forward to powdery, dry snow at some point. Here are a couple of photos from around 8:30am yesterday morning. The tractor photo was taken last night around 6pm.

Sweet tractor. Awesome view. Keep the snow for a month or so. Healing up from shoulder surgery and dont want to bounce around on my 1880 quite yet. Jealous of your cab. If I ever upgrade, I'll get a cab.

You did a great job on it. Congrats.

At the moment the FEL is off the tractor and sitting on the dolly - once we're done with leaf collection season, I'll resinstall the FEL, so won't have a pic of the dolly itself for another few weeks. I'm happy to grab a few pics of it with the FEL onboard, if you'd like?

On topic, the BX did another round of "mowing" (leaf collection), and I gotta say the PTO driven grass catcher is amazing, does a great job at pulling leaves off the ground. Very impressed.

Yard hydrant replacement today with the hoe. No real drama other than finding "danger" ribbon where I was digging.

Dig:

plumb

finished

This morning before heading to town. More snow plow and blower work and then my Heeler had to inspect the progress as I was shoveling snow off the deck. The ground was a bit harder today so it was easier to push snow without grabbing gravel too. You can see from the photo of the bottom half of the lower driveway that there's some gravel mixed in with snow on the left.

You have a beautiful place but I’m still running around in a T-shirt waiting for enough leaves to fall to be worth getting up. You can keep that snow!

Yes, please keep the snow in your neck of the woods. I lived in Missoula for a couple of years, where are you that you're seeing snow this early?

 

[BXHoosier]

The doorbell camera caught me working yesterday. Yesterday morning, I started to re-install the cab. There was light rain off and on at one point so I put the doors on to stay dry.

Was cool, wet, drizzly, and snow that melts when it hits the ground here today. So I gave the Kubota a few sips of fuel, a couple shots of grease, and said I'll check on you in the morning.
