Enjoy her while you can. They grow up so quickly.

That’s why I make the drive

Her sister is already off at college, 9hours away

They grow up WAY to fast!!!

The cold weather is starting to break finally. It was 24 yesterday afternoon when I went out to play. My 3:30pm 22" Ash tree yesterday. The base got bucked up with the 455 Rancher while I bucked up the upper section with the newly rebuilt 350. Both chains are sharpened just right that I can let the saws just cut by themselves right thru the logs. I believe that I have the rakers set at .035 on the 350. With 7" of snow and ice I can cut right thru the logs without hitting the ground.

That is how I do my 8 tubs every year.

Taps are dry nothing in the buckets . Hopefully it will warm up a bit next week . I’m afraid we will go from below freezing to 50s

I compute over 25,000 watts startup, that’s over 7x. But that’s just for one leg. Don’t know how that works, seems like you’d have to double it.

This is once it was running.

This is one leg.

Did you give the tongue test like a 9 volt .
Hope you get it figured out.

You forgot to tag Chipper.

Thanks for the tag, I needed that . Been a while since I even looked at one of mine . The last time I did I sharpened up 3 and set the rakers. I have a nice sized cherry I should probably drop before we get totally thawed out here. Bummer I forgot to take care of it when I had the lift here last fall, I could have gotten the big hanger out of it and stripped it to the stem. Oh well, I'll get it soon enough.

Driveway is covered with thick ice. I went to the steep incline to put down ice melt and parked it. As i scooped out ice melt the tractor passed by me sliding down even with chains. I moved out of the way and waited till it stopped. All the melt down just turns into fresh ice in the morning.

I scraped off all the most recent snow yesterday morning(looked about like yours) knowing we were going to be getting full sun, 90% of it was dry by the end of the day, now about 95% is dry. Because we are in the river valley, all the cold air off the snow comes downhill to our place and turns any moisture back into ice soon as the sun goes below the trees(which is quite early).
What model Kubota is that. Mine are snuggling in my wife parking spot in the barn, either of them has more value than the most valuable two vehicles, so they sleep inside whenever possible. There is plenty of space in main bay of the barn for them and a couple cars, but I have it warmed up to 52 in there and I figured I's just leave the door shut.
Even though its supposed to be warming up above freezing, we still have a ways to go before the white stuff is gone here.
