What did you do with your Red tractor today?

BTW, Rough Country wears a quick hitch that I salvaged off a 9230 when I mount the blower, otherwise the PTO shaft is a hair too long.  Normally I use a cherry picker to mount it, but tonight I was was feelin my oats and decided I could manhandle it.  I don’t know what that MF’er weighs, but it’s HEAVY!!

Took the snowblower off Lulu today to hook her to one of the spreaders. Boys had to clean out the Herefords barn. Figured she would go through the snow in the field. Good thing they didn't go with less tractor! Snow was much deeper than we thought some places. Got that job done, the Herefords are all bedded up and happy again.

After I got the calves shipped out I put out hay. Started raining while I was feeding on the 826 so I got wet.  We are forecast to get up to 4 inches in the next couple days.

You can see some gold paint in the pic.

Can't wait, can you? I haven't been able to work any ground since Thanksgiving. All my red tractors are sitting in the shed waiting for fairer weather!

Blew some snow with the 826 Hydro.

That looks like a nice historic house

It's one of the older houses in our close area. Almost a land mark because there are very few brick houses around. Add the unique double gables to the roof line and it kinda sticks out in this area

Put the wagon away under the blue sky shed and my son fed the cows hay all with the 1086.  No pictures though.

I have a #80 snowblower on my 656 Hydro with no cab.  That is a last resort for me, only use it if we get some really big drifts.  Even with a heat houser that is a cold job.  I usually move snow with my skidloader since it has heat.

Has been raining like a cow urinating on a flat rock, shame on ME, I failed to get the new tarp on and now the seat is a water bucket. Fortunately the old 464 has a down exhaust system so no issue ever with rain in the stack.

Feeding hay with the 886. Glad to have a cab. Driveway at the house is under water and pasture is flooded.

It's rained over 3 inches so far and more coming.

It's a sloppy mess.

The only working guage is temperature. 

The wiring went bad so I unhooked it and rewired it starter/alternator (single wire) only for now. New wiring is on its list...

She runs good!

I just looked at those two sitting along the wall when I walked past. They haven't did anything since mid November. They can't seem to get motivated to do anything in the cold anymore. Lol! I can't say I want to sit on them in the cold anymore either. Lol! I've got a IH Windbreaker for each one of them too. But she's not the 70s & 80s (here) anymore.

Feeding hay every day...

I forgot to post this here yesterday. Worked on the 5488 again. Getting ready to slide back together. Had to use an axe to cut the roots that had grown into the concrete...

That's my friend Mark Merideth. He a retiring mechanic. Worked at the cih dealer for years. Then heavy equipment maintenance. Then oilfield maintenance. Then ag again in his own shop. Great guy, most of the time...
