Put all the wall stones I fished up from the creek last night and put them on the wall that buttresses the front yard.
Hopefully, when snow plowing in the future, I won't be pushing them off since the top of the remaining wall is at road grade now.
I find the best way to use the grapple fork for stone is to get the forks close together, in my case, about 8 inches apart. It works best like this with my grapple mounting.

Painted my step up and my toplink old kubota blue and put the first coat of old kubota orange on my loader arms and backhoe. Also installed some bolt on teeth on my FEL bucket and did and oil and fuel filter change. Hydraulic fluid and filter get changes next weekend if I get time. My new rods and seals for the backhoe cylinders should arrive next week and need to be done too.

I was working out my road cleaning up brush and trees that are laying along the sides with the grapple and doing a burn. Well it was quite slick due to it had been raining lightly when I made the mistake of not going in to get some brush but not at a 90% when the tractor started teetering with only the right front tire and the left rear spinning. No problem I thought, I'll just hit the locker and back out but there was no locker to be found so I used the grapple to help push myself out, a little nerve racking but I managed to get out without ending up on my side. That is when I got to thinking about changing out the heavy spring for a lighter one in order to make it easier to engage the locker and that is when the panic hit thinking I may have did some harm. Well I'm happy to say that yesterday I removed the rear tire and even though it is loaded it wasn't too bad and got under and to my very happy and relieved surprise I found a piece of linkage had fell off due to a cotter pin breaking. Managed to get it back together, good thing I'm a smaller guy because there isn't much room up in there to get your hands in to get the linkage back on and a new washer and pin in to secure it. While I was there the old spring went back on (I never throw anything out) and all is good again.Sorry for being so long winded.

Put the M59 to work digging out a few stumps and tried to get a rock out which turned out to be a bolder under ground the backhoe could not pick it up so I ended up digging a really big hole next to the rock and pushed it in then buried the whole thing. :) These little hoes are nice but you have to know their limitations.

I loosened a bolt with it. Had a bolt rusted in place, couldn't budge it by hand, or with a breaker bar. Put a wrench on it and pushed the wrench with the bucket a few times... loosened it right up!

Unloaded my new wood splitter from a box truck and hauled it into my garage using new clamp on pallet forks. Wasn't sure my little BX could do it as the box weighed 575 lbs. It was close. Glad I had my the backhoe on for counterweight.

This project has been ongoing for about 2 years; just can't get the time to do more than a few hours or a couple buckets of material at a time.
I plan to put a 20ft shipping container in this spot, and there is often runoff through here from the neighbor's place during the monsoons, so I cut a diversion channel and raised the area.
All I have left to do is add a light layer of gravel or cinders to firm the surface up a little. When the container is set, I'll extend the cinder driveway with rock border over to the door of the box.
