mader656 Posted June 6, 2018 Author Share Posted June 6, 2018 If I keep doing a lot of this I'm going to invest in a weight rack and a few weights....attached to a hydro 100... In all yesterday's ecxictment I wrenched my knee (started to dislocate knee cap...) Caught myself but hurts like neck... In order to get the rig on my trailer I have to remove the tongue from the tractor and attach the mower to the drawbar support. As I was doing this a new neighbor to to place I was mowing stopped to introduce himself saw me gimp around and offered to help hitch up again tried to pick up tongue of brush hog. Looked at my like the two of US can, my response 1700 on the tongue I don't think so... But very grateful for the help... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MTO Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 You sure get into some projects out there Mader! Where`d the loader fall off at? Love the weights too. Question though, why the weights with a trailer type mower? That much on the tongue? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The weights help keep the front near the ground I can't count the times on a slight uphill the front comes up or can't steer...with steep hill steering is important. And yes it's heavy on the hitch 1700 I believe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sledgehammer Posted June 7, 2018 Share Posted June 7, 2018 Nice scenery. Was that a spring in the side of the hill or just a wet spot? We get springy spots around here that seep a lot and will stick you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We get springy spots around here that seep a lot and will stick you. Extreme wet year spring is what I call it. With record moisture this winter water is coming out everywhere. It made no sense to be wet on top the drop off... The front was solid it was solid at the brushing and I sunk without spinning out at all... The tracks filled up and was running out the next day... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mader656 Posted June 10, 2018 Author Share Posted June 10, 2018 Got a new neighbor around me, we share a well it's not trenched to my house yet but he is ok to drive it to it and fill my tank with a generator. Going to save $12 to 20 a week. And a lot of wear on the pick up, poor Toyota tho. 1/4 mile vs 20.. No more loading tanks... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
