    Anyone on the west coast looking at getting a HF trencher? Gave it to my dad when I got my Kubota. But, after using my Kubota, he decided he wants to get one.

    Haha told my wife I need a backhoe. She said why? I said I'll do a lot with it, like fix this and that and this and that.
    In the meantime my neighbor is going to come by with his trackhoe for the 1st this.

    Went to an estate sale today and this Troy-Bilt Horse was there. Looked brand new with electric start. Not sure what it brought, we left at 1:00

    Saturday was a long day. Mowed then wacked some weeds, sprayed some weeds, mowed some more, then cleaned up mower and sharpened blades. Noticed deck belt was worn again it already has something like 30 hrs. on already. The neighbor who usually mows the 2 miles up and down the road is still waiting on his mower to get out of the shop. Wife and I run that little thing about 3.5 hrs a week average but with his mower down it adds 2 more hrs to it.Gotta check the oil again today to see if it needs changed. Up this morning waiting on the sun rise so I can walk the dog before it gets too hot for her. Then after breakfast weeding the garden with the tiller.
    Oh yeah I ordered some gator G5 blades for the little JD. And maybe if I feel like it I just might ride the motorcycle a little bit.
    Hope everyone has a good day and be careful today.

    Put many hours in on a Troy built like that... Great machines.

    Man my blades that I bought this year haven't held up for crap. They need sharpened after just 8 mows. (20hrs)

    Think I might try a set of those Ballards next time.
