No, lol. It’s 60hp, I need an 8’ bushhog but they’re too expensive for me

 

Got my rear chains cut today. They’ll be 1 1/2” apart. 63 pieces welded on as soon as I can find time.

 

Once she starts spinning’ it’s gonna match the Avatar real good too.

 

That is one of the best cutting bushhogs I’ve ever used. No matter how thick whatever it is you’re cutting, it leaves a clean finish. I’ve cut stuff 8’ high with it and it did amazing. It could be my width to HP ratio though, 6’ with a 60 HP tractor hooked to it

 

Gonna have to call it the Carpet Shark. The Carpet Shark's coming to take a bite out of ya'!

 

Looks like a little bit of work but worth while for sure. Those chains can be a life saver - literally! I had a killer brush hog a few years ago made by Modern Manufacturing and that thing cut through anything, it was super heavy duty. Unfortunately it was stolen out of a barn that I was working at and I was never able to recover it. The cutter I replaced it with just isn't the same. It still mows through blackberries no problem but it isn't nearly as stout.

 

No air or valve cores in wheel/tire, have driven around the yard, out in the street turning circles both directions using diff lock (dragging inside tire) drove around the perimeter of the yard ( wet and sloppy) tried to dig a hole with loader, wheels and tires just spun.

If I was on a time line and had to get something done, and punctured a tire, the damn thing would be flopping off the wheel 1/4 mile from anywhere convenient to work on it.

And I’m no light weight 6’5” and not tiny.

they’ve only been there since 10/97 ish.....

 

Bead breaking is the worst part of tire work. Hate it.

I'm doing a little box blading today.

 

Finished the day brush hogging my lower field. I need to get down there with my brushcutter and take care of some trees. Swisher chopped down some 2" cedar and sumac but thise 3+" oaks are beyond it. Had to do a bunch of winding and weaving.

 

Congrats on the new trailer! Sure is nice looking.

 

there may be a slight size difference... both are 31x15.50-15

 

When you get that other one on and aired up it’ll be the same

 

I expect it’ll be close, going to tire shop in the morning, I ain’t got time or energy to mess with this, to many other things to do.
After its mobile again full hydro fluid service and repack all 4 cyls on the loader. Clean and lube control valve
Clean then Cut out rust in mower deck and replace with actual metal.

then maybe I’ll be able to try and fab a grapple for the bucket.

and all the other maint and repair I haven’t been able to accomplish the last 3 years around the crib.

 

Yeah, some air pressure will pop that new one right out where it belongs. I get that call all the time at work.

"These tires you sold me are the wrong size! The numbers match, but the new ones are totally different!!"
"Do me a favor; before you send them back, put one on the rim and air it up. Leave the tag on just in case, and call me back when you're done"
*30-45 minutes later*
"Yeah, we're all set"

Most of the old timers have either died or retired, so nobody's used to how a bias ply tire will change shape under pressure anymore.

 

Those are nice, but a bit of a haul for me

 

Don’t want her to go, but love watching her leave.....

 

Meats!
