    This size tractor will fit through an 8’ high door.
    My wife and I are happy that I can keep it in our detached garage, instead of the horse barn. Just had to move a few things around. Mowers are behind it. Makes it easier for all getting things done in the barn. IMG_4823.jpeg

    Gas I've lost count, but do remember way back to your bobcat TLB and your mahindra fiasco. Including the 2 backhoes, out of curiosity what # is this new machine. (Look great) :yes:

    Well. Let’s see. Including my first Tractor (Ford Powermaster ) that I owned, and not including four wheelers and side by sides, I believe this is number 21.
    What? :whistle:
    This is over … like…. well, it has to be 21 years man. That’s not bad. Is it?
    There is a method to my madness you know!
    I’m having loads of fun and getting a LOT of work done on the property. :dex::tractor:

    Shhhh. Don’t tell anyone. K?

    Nothing wrong with this strategy. I'm under the impression that your a smart flipper and probably come out "ahead" on most of them, -er we won't take about the red one:whistle:

    New roof on the L5030. The hauling company ended up agreeing that it was their responsibility since the driver tightened the strap down so tight it broke the roof on both sides. :doh:Good of them to pay for it.

    Would love to have the horsepower you have. I couldn't have that climate controlled cab though...I'd end up beating the windows out of it with limbs and who knows what.

    Breaking up this big burn pile to get the dirt separated out. IMG_4963.jpeg Got my debris forks back from the welding shop. Had to have an adjustment done to get the quick attach plate just right. They did a nice job and it’s easy on and off now, and very strong.

    I find that my burning spots burn much better if I clean the ash and whatnot off regularly. I used to have a big pile of ash & debris I'd try to burn atop, but always had trouble getting the fires going well. Keeping the spots cleaned off and flat seems to help with combustion for whatever reasons.

    Yup. Been getting the big stuff separated out and leveling off all the leftover dirt and debris. Then pile up the burn able stuff and get it going again. IMG_4964.jpeg

    I wish someone would have told me. I do not miss fighting to burn off those piles at all.

    Hopefully we don’t get any large amounts of snow soon. The weather has cooperated nicely but I missed a week of working on it because of sickness. Through it now. Mostly. Still seems to linger a bit. Energy not all the way back to normal. Yet.

    I have learned a valuable lesson. No more burning stumps. When I dig them out they will get flipped over and buried after the hole is dug slightly deeper. Will save a lot of B.S.!
