    No chance of losing that in the snow is there? Looks like you've got the most important attachments for life on the ranch.

    Now if I can just find my way up there to test it's features. Or maybe you can drive it to the next meet?

    A 3 pt. blower is a good alternative, probably about half the price of the 'bota front mounted unit. I picked up one for my JD 2210 a few years back at an auction for less than 1/3 the price of a new one.

    lol: sorry Tyler, in MN it might be named differently. Whenever you dig here in Il you need to have a locating service locate all underground utilities. J.U.L.I.E. is some sort of acroynm for that service.

    I agree it's a good cost-effective alternative to the front mounted blower (and easier to load and unload)...'Cept you have to drive backwards to use it...

    "Gopher 1" is our digging cooperative.
    Had them out the week before when the septic tank guys were here.
    Having suffered through many cable cuts, phone, power and data on the job, I should know better.

    Thought about a blower, I don't (think) I need one. Plenty of space to push snow out of the way.

    Congratulations Tyler. It looks like a good one. I need to see some real work being done with it, though, to keep it out of the toy category .

    There is a dealer in Michigan, I believe it is Deur Implement that sells a rear mount blower that works when driving forward.

    And no, I don't work for them.

    Screws are kinda like knots, if you can't use the right one, use lots of 'em.

    I'm trying really hard to picture how that would work in deep snow...

    My new Kabota arrived Fri. Don from Bobcat of Duluth showed up about 11 am Fri with all the toys.
    I gave a lot of thought and made many phone calls before I took delivery. As many of you know, forest fires are raging in the area. Fortunately our area generates its own climate. There are no guarantees in life but the fires are about 30 miles away and always moving away from my place.

    Don spent about 1.5 hours stepping through each stage of operation.
    We removed, and put on each attachment. one of them twice.
    The Kabota sells itself but the service is what sold me on this dealer.
    It was A # 1 all the way.
    Thanks Matt and Don from Bobcat of Duluth.

    Okay everyone... on the count of three!


    Green acres is the place for me.
    Farm livin' is the life for me.
    Land spreadin' out so far and wide
    Keep Manhattan, just give me that countryside.

    New York is where I'd rather stay.
    I get allergic smelling hay.
    I just adore a penthouse view.
    Dah-ling I love you but give me Park Avenue.

    ...The chores.
    ...The stores.
    ...Fresh air.
    ...Times Square

    You are my wife.
    Good bye, city life.
    Green Acres we are there.


    Have fun Tyler!

    a blade on the front end?

    Joe

    P.S. I want to see pics (lots) of the inevitable snow removal process on North Fork, aka Tyler's Ponderossa.
