Nice work. I take it the drip rails now drip vs channeling the water away?

Is that the HF stud gun you are using? Mine is OK but grabbing the studs is a chore.

Here is a pic from the n/e corner. I drove up to about 100ft from where I want to build (front of truck. You can see the end of the road too (south)

Here is a sorta 3d pic. Plotting out the road, pad and well area. The yellow dash is where I was parked in the above pic.

Saw the land pride today, cheap looking like 3/16 sides.

Walked the property and makes some lines.rear is way up the hill, had problems finding it.

Can't  find pics on phone

My cell sits right where that new switch is on yours. Doesn't block the view and I can see it fine.

Like the new head unit, thought off and on about doing that in mine. I also have XM and rarely play CDs.

In retro do you wish a 10.5 had found its way to you?

Gave the ultimate for others.

What more can you add.

Leave the tank full!

I won’t recreate the log splitter drama but the new carb showed up today. It will run this weekend or get blown up

I sat blow it up, long range 

County did have free contour maps for both 30ft and 10ft, but the 10ft stops 2 parcels west of my parcel. 30ft (10mt really) is not bad, better than the 100 from USGS.

Mine is done. Weld on are about $500, but I need to measure the bucket first.

Dang, a once over and an oil change is costing almost $800. Hope they topped off the fluids at least.

Yep, grate on the bottom, let it breath and easier to clean out.

Did we just loose a few more pages?

Don't know how much area a welded thumb takes up, but if you ever want to use other attachments on the bucket stick make sure you will have room with a welded in place thumb.

Yep, don't want to limit any use of the bucket. Install vids all show spacing it off the bucket.

What do you guys think of a weld on thumb? About 1/2 the price and includes hoses, free shipping.

My stock setup has a quick release bucket which adds to the dedicated thumb cost.

Hard to hear, but it is there.

Nate I hate you. Last time we were at Sears point Kyle Bush stopped signing autographs as we walked up, then he won. (I don't like kyle, reminds me of stewart)

Kids weren't happy but got Stenhouse Jr's.

Heck, I thought you would be driving.

45hp and 7K, 6ft wide. As wide as the tractor to cover my tracts.

Actually I bet that is a federal DOT rule, tuck or not.

But like I said, who would check. We do want the prerangers safe, right?

Tractor should be out of the shop next week, just waiting on a horn button (I splurged)

Ordered a 3 point setup from kabota in sparks. I really like them they are giving me quotes with discounts already. They have Landpride box blades in stock. 6ft is $1000.

Been sorta looking for a thumb and forks. Not sure about the clamp on forks, anyone have those? Rather have quick release.

On the thumb. From kabota it is $900 for just the thumb. Sure the kit is double that. Got a quote from Toms Thumbs for about $1600 with hydro or $1000 for a weld up kit (with all pins and clips)I just supply hoses (I like).

Nice thing is the backhoe is setup for a thumb with plumbing and foot controls.

Napa should have conversion universals in stock. Pretty common really.

On the air bag issue, just add a shut off valve in line? Open and adjust as needed, close and bags are isolated.

Your the guy who would know too, had me going for a sec!

Axles and a lift?

Here’s another thought, maybe Don should drive within limits of suspension. 

Oh, I think the suspension will handle it just fine. Even with deep mulch beds.

I also think the airbags are a moot point with as little that will transfer unless it a LONG turn and the sway bar helps that too.

Nate, we are the BIGGER versions,,,,,

As good as it sounds, that is a lot of work and waiting,,,,,,,,,,,
