engine oil and filter change today.  Also fixed the Tach cable.  Little creativity and scavanging parts from a melted cable, and new same cable sheath as the PTO cables i throw out from my hot rod transmission cables i make, fixed!

almost wanted to pick up 1300lbs with forks on the bucket,  rear tires got light so i only picked one banded pile up at a time instead of both.  not a terrable way to move five 24' lengths of box steel. 



steel prices must finally be down a bit.  paid 980$ for 1300lbs of prime in box tube, flat bar, and some sheets.  seems about 1/2 of what i paid last time i built flat beds

this thing is impressive.  supper happy. 

able to use forks to lift bush hog to the back of the RAM deck, and then tractor and zero turn fit on the equipment trailer. 

M4 landscape and property maintenance!

Did good work ripping horse fence out. Impressed.

I want one.
I’m out of fence to rip out but one with a midmount mower would be more fun than a zero turn in a way. But can’t beat a zt for mowing performance

did some brush hawging last night around the field.  thing is impressive.  3'tall thick grass and weeds it eats them and doesn't even phase the mower or tractor at a good speed. 

love it.

i also enjoy the bush hogs rear discharge.  that's way better.  all mowers should be like that.

I had a Dynamark riding mower when I was a kid with rear discharge.  It was awesome to mow close up on either side.  I never understood why side discharge is a thing.

my big girl is rear. It's not even though and that makes me not like it. It leaves cuttings in 2 stripes, where the three blades overlap. I think it's worse than side discharge for leaving clippings piles, and I think it's a big source of my bogging in tall grass, since it just fills up inside the deck. I do love it for edging though.

bah blew a bucket tilt hydro line today, meh.    need to figure out some fittings to just change all hoses over to cheaper easy hoses up front than bend over at the counter custom hoses
