    I have found that I use my box blade a lot more than I thought I would and leave it on 90% of the time for rear ballast. Is that a Tier IV on emissions?

    Enjoy your new toy if your wife will let you drive it!:)

    None. My neighbor closest to the chipper is feeling small earthquake like tremors though. And lots of thunder! :picard:

    I'll be on the phone early tomorrow so I can order that crusher run for the driveway, I'm hoping we can get it late tomorrow or on Monday morning.

    I'm hoping before the end of September I can get back to some cutting.

    Gasifier , Sunday we might get some heavy rain.

    I just spoke with the company and we'll have a load this afternoon, we should have the load done by early Saturday if not sooner.

    The truck holds 18 ton so I'm thinking we might need a second load.

    We hit the water early this morning after ordering the crusher run, we ate some lunch on one of the Islands, we watched the Loon feeding around the Island along with some young wood ducks (not pictured) learning how to fly in a small bay.

    When we got home and the truck was here so we took care of the boat and then went to work. I would've finished but the boss gave me a yelp (second one) that dinner would be ready so I called it a day.

    The tractor has plenty of power, I just need more seat time. I made it to where the tractor is in the last picture.

    I still have some edge work that I'll finish tomorrow after I grease the tractor and I think we'll get a second load next week.
