    Ha! I have a 30x50 barn on property where I plan to build a house. Not even living there and it almost full. I bought a stone rake recently, and started to scout where I was going to putit-not much room with the RTV, ATV, zero turn, finish mower, bush hog, spreader, cultipacker, drags, tiller and tractor all in there. Had to move things around to make it fit!

    That's a nice spread!

    You have a plow for the bota? I recently saw a post you made over on tractor by net from a few years ago. I'm just researching either the quick attach or the kind id need to remove the loader.

    I haven't bought a plow yet. I am considering a SSQA model, but boy do they want some $$$ for one. Looking for a deal on a used one. Picked up the Landpride rake for $300. Some surface rust but it had hardly been used. Thought it was a 7' unit-my brother picked it up for me-it was a 8' rake! Better yet!
    Looking for a deal like that on a plow.

    Would a rear plow be with it? I know they are cheaper.

    It looks like you're all set for winter DaveGunter , you'll love having the plow. Ours has made life in the winter a whole lot easier.

    Before winter I usually check the trails that I'll be plowing incase I left a stump or a trail just needs widening or some cleanup, the extra time spent in the fall making sure the trails are clear is well worth it.

    I only had chaffing where it goes through that metal loop where the protective sleeve is. That sleeve slipped down enough to where the hoses weren't protected. I caught it just in time and replaced all 4. Took off the loader to make it easier.

    It was a short hose where the loader arms pivot. I ordered one from Messicks Tuesday and it arrived today. I just replaced it!

    I don't loan the wife, the dog, my truck, my tractor, my horse nor my tools. I will go with some of them to use them for the job, but oh no, no loaning, no one takes care of your stuff like you do. (yes, my wife knows I include her as "my stuff")

    JWinIndiana I understand your point, but I do lend out my implements. Probably because my neighbor has a Harley rake that I can borrow. I have the box blade brush hog blower and landscape rake. We kind of trade back and forth but he's a really good friend and neighbor..

    I blew one, but it was operator error. Bush hogging at 540rpm, decided to dig out a LARGE rock, leaving the throttle up.

    I try to keep it under 500, seems to do less damage and the tractor uses less fuel.
