Seems time is so limited lately, but I have had some seat time, and have been snapping a picture or two as I go. You'll notice my new helper has been tagging along, with the warmer weather.

Made the change from winter to spring/summer wear...can't do it alone, so I had help. A few oil changes too =]

Was able to finally use the diesel, and till a couple gardens. I'm a big fan of the 7100 series...I really like the feel, and some of the RBT comforts. And of course, the diesel's amazing!

I also took on a turf-prep job for a coworker. He had a new construction home that needed prep for sod. I used the HB-112 with springtooth harrow, and 7790 with Dutch Grader to loosen and level his place. Unfortunately, no action shots.

The lawn mowing is a thrill, now that I have something green to cut, and I don't seem to give the B110 much love anymore, but she wears the pants in the shop.

I also got the Wonderboy 575 out (never did fire it up last year), and did some fuel system cleaning to get her running smooth. With a new pto belt, I hope to have some pics of 30" reel stripes in the near future.

Loaded up the 3212H and loader, to help out a buddy with some landscaping work. Took a while...I'm guessing 7-8 yards or so all together. I also grabbed some video of him learning to use the loader.

Also, I have watched the weeds flourish around home, and have been using the weedcutter pretty regularly. I trim around the lawn, and along the road and bike path that border my place.

I also noticed that my LH blade wasn't pulling its weight, and was slipping a bit, so figured I was in need of a new belt. Instead, the belt looked pretty good, and I was able to adjust the tension, and cleaned things out while I was in there.

Lotsa slack...

Opposite side...no slack at all.

The idler has quite a bit of adjustment to it

Snug enough now!

And lastly, I retrieved the Squire 6 from it's hiding place in my parent's barn. It needs quite a bit of work, including a new Briggs. I'm planning to take inventory of the parts I need to get her mechanically sound, then hope to get it in line for a redo, after the trencher.

Lots going on, and quite a bit more loader work awaiting. I get so much more use out of that thing than I could ever have thought!

Do I understand those pictures correctly; you have not one but two tractors with front end loaders. I spot both a yellow one and an orange one.

All such great pics Josh...but the baby on the diesel just cracks me up :D:D looks like a little flying saucer on the seat {}

That bike path will give you lotsa seat time w/the weedcutter.

Nice family/home/fleet Josh dOd

I admire your energy Talntedmrgreen! Such capable machinery and owners.

Ditto the comments above.

Craig, I mayu just have a chore lined up for that Earthcavator! Only have used it once, and it's the real deal.

Tacey, it is a Labradoodle...fantastic dog. Smart as a whip. Shares the drive of a Lab with the smarts and milder temperment of a Poodle. All he wants to do is wait for a command. He's 5 now, and has never stepped foot outside the yard, except when asked. He even does his business where I tell him to, and will swim for hours on end if you let him.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
