Less than 850 HRS and a 2012 model. Now I just need to lay down some bale-adge for it. |

MT with the wagon: Attached File 5055 on the square baler, 5300 on the mower, 2020 on the rake in the background and another 5055 on the round baler out of frame. Attached File With just a little help from the weatherman, we'll get most everything put up this week. |

Yesterday, I dug a hole with the FEL to bury my GSD. It wasn't the best tool for the job, but it was the best tool that I have for the job. That was annoying with the FEL; it would have been horrible to do it by hand.

Thanks, guys. I didn't mean to have a pity party. Today's a lot better.
Back on topic, I bought the Pat's QD and hope to get them installed today. Since I've only had the tractor a short while, I have a lot of cleanup and rearrangement to do. A 3-pt trailer hitch is due for delivery tomorrow. 1. I was using a tumble-bug to move round hay bales and pulled it with my truck. The remaining 12 bales are side-to-side and rather askew, sort of in 3 lines. I need to get them inline and squared up, end-to-end. 2. Horse-trailer, flatbed trailers (new one plus old one), and tumble-bug, are just where they landed when I was done with them. Need to get them lined up. 3. My humble assortment of implements are generally in decent spots, but they'll have to move so that I can do 1 and 2 above. At some point, I'll build carts for those that I can fit in the barn. 4. I need to mow where all the above stuff is. The current storage area is in the back of my 2-ish acre lawn near the cross fence to the pasture. The line of hay will nicely block the view of the rest of my tools from the street. 5. Field needs shredded to knock down the yellow star thistle. I didn't have any of that stuff last year. Maybe the goats that I sold in September were actually doing something useful. The current mess. Attached File I have plenty of stuff to do. Just cannot lift too much for a few more weeks. |

Finally brought home the BX23S last night. Garage barn door had been stuck due to humidity for a week and wouldn’t open all of the way. Good smack with the bucket fixed that. Need to reorganize my garage to make better use of space while the tractor is parked, but it’s home and now I can start on my long list of projects.
