    It looks like one. It just hung that way in the grapple and I thought it was worth a picture.
    I had to cut it in half to put it on the trailer.

    IMG_20221021_162237.jpg Digging out the last of my Ash logs for splitting. Log on the forks is something Maple, I stripped the bark off and going to sit for the winter to be split in the spring. Got a serrated cutting edge for the Farmi, we will see if that helps with trail maintenance and maybe getting a better bite on frozen ground?

    Had to remove my daughter's leaf pile so I could mow through and chop the leaves up..hopefully for the last time. It's amazing....2-3 weeks and it's a mud spot already lol!

    Took the floating dock out for the winter ice.

    Then laid out some timbers over a little stream for winter travel.

    The moving water creates a wall of ice and gives the UTV with tracks problems so I'm trying this. It's too light for anything more than a atv/utv so it's just sitting there for easy removal, no fasteners.
    Soon I'll be removing the tractors loader for the plowing season so these chores needed done. :yes:

    Did a bit of cutting today. Wanted to cut more logs from my logpile, but going after the third log, the bota started chugging and acting like it wanted to stall.

    https://youtube.com/shorts/tdzGuix_z1s?feature=share

    After a while, it smoothed out, I moved the cut logs, then it started again.
    :hair::hair:

    So, it's in the barn. Gonna replace fuel filter, and gonna change the oil/filter and transmission filter as well, since I missed that at the 200 hr mark..
    :emb:

    300.5 hrs currently.

    Call me whatever you want...I call it smart ! This is a bed mattress in a box. Not only heavy..but awkward. Apparently the delivery people thought so too..smooshed on top. .Drove right into the garage and put it up on the landing by the door . No muss..no fuss...and I can still walk..barely . I thought about grappling it..so I didn't have to get off the tractor lol ;)

    Good call. We got to our place late one night and my wife was on me to move the new couch from the garage to the living room. I really didn't feel like it, but put pallet forks on the Kubota, and wheeled it from the house to the sliding doors to the living room. Easy-peasy.

    Good luck too...as it happened I tested positive for COVID the next day and that couch came in pretty handy!
