It dawned on me this afternoon the B2601 is setting in garage with thermostat set 2* higher than the house is set.
I just looked at a picture (from the comfort of FL) of my L48 TLB sitting in my cold New England barn.
May she rest well (blocked up, with Battery Minder attached) until May, when I see her in person again.

Finally swapped the FEL over to the blower for winter, had a buddy here for the holiday last week so Friday it gave us something to do to get out of the house in crappy weather.

Now I need to fight my grease gun and load up a fresh cartridge so I can hit the zerks on the blower......anyone else hate loading the grease gun? Let's first preface this with I thought I was out and opened the damn thing up and had the last 1/3 of the grease land on my lap.......so maybe I am just "Grease gun challenged"......

I have the Kubota manual grease gun that I bought from the Dealer when I picked up my tractor. Absolutely dread replacing the cartridge. Almost impossible to get the old one out and get the new one all the way in. The little silver lever at the bottom never seems to work right. But when it's done the gun is fine and I haven't felt the need to get a battery operated one yet.

Well, glad I'm not the only one that hates dealing with those things......they are fine when they work....and the gun is of good quality, have a great after market Lock N lube tip etc. but there is just no way to swap things out without looking like you got in a fight with an oil well and lost.......

Best advise is to not change it till it’s empty. If you have to use a different lube then you have loaded buy a second gun. Lol

It sometimes seems my garage is warmer than the house. When I built it I installed in floor radiant heat. Nice thing is when I leave and close the door it warms back up quickly.

I hauled yet another bucketful of topsoil for the base of some new chicken brood pens I am setting up in my barn. Then I hauled a load of mulch and put some on top of the dirt as litter and dumped the rest near a new persimmon sapling I planted in the fall.

Tried to pull down a seemingly rotten 70' cherry tree down with a chain. Tractor wanted to do a regen. The tree was solid in the middle and I messed up some of the yard. Got the chain tight at point of tire spinout, then had to saw it down. Cut it up in ~5' sections and hauled it away in the FEL. No issues with regen except wife thought I was nuts for running the tractor that fast.
Fixed the yard mostly with a steel rake.

Cleaning up more trash I found on our property. This in an old pond. It's mostly drained by still like quicksand. Almost fell in with the chain. Don't want to bring the tractor closer to get the rest. Easy work for the grapple .

Good work DDCD, I like the nice flat land and blue sky there too!
It's amazing how people trash their properties. At least keep it to one trash pile and keep the concrete and rebar out of the pond.

Blue skies and 70 degrees. Cool evenings. Only thing is it's bone dry so I can't burn the mountain of deadwood I'm accumulating from my grapple. I'll take the good weather though. I'm sure next month it will be 10 degrees.

We spent the holiday week up at the property cleaning, raking and burning leaves and a couple of downed trees.
The leaves around the house are the hardest to deal with. We were raking them on to a tarp, then dragging the tarp to the burn pile. This Fall we upped our game a bit by purchasing a "bagster"....basically a big bin made from heavy nylon with handles. We would load the bag, pick it up with the tractor, haul it down to the burn pile and dump it out....worked like a charm!
With a mix of oaks and pines, the leaves and acorns are out of control...

Used the forks to put the grapple in the corner of the garage and brought the blower in to install the deflector kit. 20211204_115405.jpg

Trust me!
You will not remember how you did without it, once you own a battery powered DeWalt or Milwaukee grease gun.

Worked on the FEL on the B and commented on the linage of every one that designed it, built it, and OK'ed it
