That is awesome, thanks for sharing! Your daughter looks like she loves it!

 

Little break while mowing 8 acres today

 

I see you've gotten the same rain we've gotten the past week or two, I need to mow again.

 

I paid 1800$ for this 18’ trailer. Been pulled twice by the guy before me.

 

Yeah rained for two days off and on here.

 

I rented that same unit a couple of weeks ago. Nice little skid steer but boy did it shred the lawn!

 

That's a hell of a deal!

 

Had to buy a camo UTV cover l, otherwise she's all over those sticks!!!!

 

Yeah gotta make the most of back and forth approaches or 6 pt turns, hahaha. We tore it up knowing it needs grading, and top soil mixed in this late summer/early fall, so it allowed us to really see how to lessen the impact/tearing surfaces up.

 

Back in Business now, 5 gallon fuels cans are for the birds. Everything is full now. 335 gallons delivered.



Graded the road and shredded both sides so the Ol man would have an easy path to set up his RV.

 

how many gallons is that ?

 

300 gallon tank, plus the equipment.

 

Gravely got a bath today. Sprayed it down with ceramic spray to. Lol

 

The BX put all 23hp's to work today. Took no prisoners.

And who needs a thumb? Actually, me. I could use a thumb. It'd save some paint on my boom.

 

Evenin' fella's!

So, while this is a "tractor and mower" discussion I figured I'd share my little mod to my Echo weed-eater. It edges great turned on its left side (I have a good bit of sidewalk and driveway to do), but I have run troubles doing so. It will bog down and stall within 10 minutes or so. I thought the vent was getting plugged with fuel so I had the bright idea to extend the vent a little bit. Added a vacuum hose coupling and some new line to extend the vent up and sideways.

Factory:



"Modified":




Fired it up and went trimming. Was running great, probably 20 minutes plus. I was happy and thought I had it fixed. No, no I didn't Turns out when I first started I had a full tank. As it went on I was going through fuel quick. After several choice words at it I finished. Defeated I took another look at it. Turns out the fuel pick-up is more to the right side and was eventually starving itself of fuel So, likely I'll just shorten the fuel line. Well, there was an attempt...

 

Had the same scenario happen when a customer rented one of our trimmers. On it's side and the pickup is off to the other. Usually there's enough line in there to angle it the other way if you choose to do so. Just worked on an SRM 225 today that wasn't revving up. Finally checked the spark arrestor and...ta daaaa

 

Yea I'll tinker with it and get it going the other way. I typically trim more to the left side anyways.

I had a Stihl one time that wouldn't rev up or run worth a damn. Same thing, spark arrestor was clogged. Turns out the racing castor oil I was using was producing too much carbon. Still ran that stuff for many years to use it up (I can be a tightwad sometimes...) but I've been using the Echo Red Armor recently and I have the say it's pretty good stuff!

So much rain in the past week with a tropical storm and multiple t-storms my lawn is soaked and long. Today it’s not raining but boy it’s sloppy.
Glad to have a ztrax vs my older 2 series JD. MUDDN AND MOWN

 

You should send me some of that mesquite.
