Worked on the foundation for my guest cabin. Which is six rocks 
. I dug down a couple feet, put several inches of gravel in the hole, then positioned the rocks. Hope to finish tomorrow.

The Oranges have been working. Been preparing for hunting season. Only shredded the tops of the weeds, to preserve more grass(if there is any grass lol; drought) for the cattle.

A Little Bit Corny Around Here.
Unloading improperly wrapped pallet of deer corn. 2,000 lbs of corn in 50lb bags. If you ate today, God Bless the Farmer & Rancher. Thanks for watching! #hun...

One of our daughters is in Santa Cruz, CA, near the beach of Monterey Bay.
They’ve had drought and wildfires off and on for years. Some fires have been close to the small city of Santa Cruz. .
Don’t wish that on anyone.

Like the guys up North preparing and putting on snow blowers and chains, I soon will be putting on the disc & cultivator on the tractors in case a fire breaks out. We're supposed to have a dryer winter here, makes me second guess if I got enough hay for the cows.
Back in the 50's drought, I remember my great uncle that experienced it, he told me, that folks were taking a torch to the prickly pears and the cows will eat it and highly nutritional also.

Hmmm, but what if all 4 tires are going flat?
I know, pretty rare to lose all four at the same time, but never underestimate a redneck with an engineering degree.

Yeah - I’m one of the guys putting on snowblowers and chains.
Even on their tiny residential lot, our kids are cognizant of extra leaves, brush, etc.
I can’t imagine trying to minimize fire risk on significant acreage.
We’re surrounded by mostly mature hardwood woods. A forest fire here would be catastrophic. Many trees within a fall zone of the house.
That would be the relatively low flow rate on the LX models for the FEL. The solution a buddy of mine came up with was to use the rear remote to power the head on his Grand L. He also added a cylinder to help position the point of the auger with the 3rd Function. Really cool setup. Probably a bit more than I would ever need, though. I think the FEL mounted version is a great idea because the auger can be reversed if it gets stuck under something, not to mention it can be used to reach into flower beds to plant shrubs, etc. Maybe not as far as one would like, but that’s generally just some tweaks to the mounting brackets to move it out farther.
Spent Saturday working on the Kubota. Just under 300 hours but have had it almost 10 years so changed the oil and hydraulic fluid. Also did the fuel filter. Still need to flush radiator, change front gear axle oil before winter rolls in. BTW learned that the loader sitting in the sun will have the hydraulic fluid in the lines expand and create pressure to the point you can not reattach your loader. That was fun!
Today was the day for chipping the load of branches I pulled down and the small parts of a tree I dropped last month.
Having the chipper on a dolly makes life good when mounting it:
Before - I had pushed most of the branches into the woods but some were covering some implements
and after
Put 2 hours in - enough for this old guy!

Used the backhoe on my LX3310 to hold up logs for the first time so I could more easily cut them into firewood lengths. No more hitting rocks, no more having to roll logs. It was simply awesome.

Rough morning here…spent a couple hours in the observation tower, then came down to breakfast and do a couple chores (relocate some milled wood MX to make space for the 8N and that’s when I saw the light…
It came on just a few seconds after I started it…had not yet warmed up.
Long story short, one parked regen, a Stella and a cigar later and I was able to put the lumber in the barn across the road.

Service day today. Oil & filter, fuel filter and full greasing. It took a lot longer than I remember doing it last time 
Why is it I can never do a servicing without spilling something on the floor?

double orange day today (and for next three more days as well. In my haste, I forgot to get a shot of the B2650 pushing piles into the woods. I can assure you that it was put to work.
anyway. Some shots when I quoted it:
Job start this am...first step was to make some room for all that brush...
good load....about 30 more to go..at least. I'm guessing the pile runs approx 120 feet long. Unfortunately, I found tree tops in the piles.
fortunately, the job is for my neighbor's horse farm and the loads are being moved to another part of the property.

If you have TPMS sensors in both sets of wheels, you can use this tool for the GM sensors to relearn the positions once you have swapped your wheels. It worked even for me on my Nissan Titan when I installed after market sensors that only required relearning but not activation.Ever since the implementation of Tire Pressure Monitoring Systems ( and I think of those like non-DPF tractor owners think of DPF's!), I have loaded and unloaded the winter or summer tires spring and fall for all 3 vehicles and taken them to the dealership for their seasonal change overs. I use to enjoy doing the tire changes, but with that damn TPMS, I needed to go there anyways to have them reset, and the mounted truck tires seem to be getting heavier and heavier by the year, and my back seems to get weaker by the year.
So today I slapped together the ugliest "woodworking" project in my lifetime. Had an old pallet kicking around and found some scrap 2x6's and made a simple carrier. Rolled the tires in, then rolled them into the truck box. No Lifting!
Most on here already have something along the same line, but after moving the first tire today, I knew I had to come up with something. View attachment 140225 View attachment 140226 View attachment 140227

Over the past month, I've been pushing the forest back into the woods to regain lost farmland. Looks like I've recovered almost an acre so far. Not bad for the BX23S with a homemade toothbar. It's a bit of a challenge,beets sitting here cutting machine code for sure ! Wild turkeys seem to accept me but the deer bolt when I within 50 feet of them. This year the 10 acre field has corn..LOTS of it....
