    Thanks. When the spoiled ones are laying around, or standing there with one rear foot raised, I can see they are happy campers. Fat and happy. :thumbs:

    Too many. My leach field is not working properly. So I’ve resorted to pumping the tank more often. It’s been time to fix it for a while but I don’t want to spend the money on that.

    Had ours pumped today, outside of there normal operating months. Was getting slight overflow at the tank about 3x. Ended up the filter was plugged. $325 and we should be good. Our leach field is somewhat shallow, with all the snow, thaw, rain, and more snow, we had slight seepage. Will likely need to grade up that portion of the yard if this happens again.

    Do you have a filter? I've read that any pipes in the leach field that may have been plugged can fix themselves during the dry season, pump out, take vacation and don't use for a week allows it to dry up and once water finally makes its way to the pipes again, it breaks away. Not sure if this works but......

    I'd bet it was just a poor weld.
    Of course I'm beginning to learn that good ol' Gas will get 10 gallon's in a 5 gallon bucket somehow.:D

    edit; like we all do :rofl: :lol:

    Glad they got your tractor fixed up Gasifier. And I’m a little envious that you’re able to get out and use it already lol. Looking good!

    Thanks. Still waiting on the new backhoe bucket, but lots of other stuff I can do with loader/bucket/grapple. Weather is bad news right now. But should warm up soon.

    Well I still don’t have my new backhoe bucket. :picard:
    I had to have my neighbor fix the busted one. He did a nice job.
    Stumps from blow downs and a couple dead ones I took down a while ago.

    Just talked to them today. Same ol. He’s hoping they ship it with an order they placed for other things. He doesn’t know why it’s taking so long. :rolleyes:
