Getting ready for the winter onslaught !!!

[ybnorml]

2002 New Holland 21 hp, 4 wheel drive, 3 cyl. diesel, rear PTO, a 3 pt hitch with less than 300 hours...
More than simply moving snow, this will allow me to head down back in uncharted territories to haul trees and logs up for the bbq pit....
Lawdy, Lawdy ain't we gonna have some fun this fall / winter....
Bibbed overalls, plaid shirts, corncob pipes, and straw hats to come....

I'll be shopping for a brush hog next spring.

Wow, you're not kidding about being ready! Beats my 10 HP MTD snowblower hands down!

My TroyBuilt will still be used to clear our driveway Tony, simply for the exercise aspect !!!
But when the snowbanks get so high I can't snowblow over the tops, I will now have the answer !!
I'll be talking to our neighbor to see if he will sell us a 100' x 100' piece of land, so we can have a
garage put up.

I have already had it up on 3 wheels Brett, had to slam the front bucket
down to keep it from rolling over. Seatbelt kept me in the seat.....

Yeah up on 3 wheels is not the normal operating environment  

My old boss has a Teramite backhoe and was using the bucket to move his boat trailer (tongue in the bucket) with the boat on the trailer when it started to go up and over.  It did not go over but the trailer came out of the bucket and proceeded down his driveway, across the street, hit the curbing on the street and launched into the air and nose dived into the lawn just in front of his neighbors front door.  That took some 'splaining to do to his neighbor.

So be careful with that thing!

I am slowly narrowing the learning curve down Brett....
Already smashed one of the emergency flashers,,,,,

All in moderation Dan...
