What did you do with your tractor today?

Got the mowing and trimming done today. GT5000 ran fine so Loree did good on her mow a week ago, didn't break anything! Still haven't had time to get the MF12G and the JD110 ready for some mowing duties yet. Got a couple of LT's that probably should be exercised too.
Tomorrow is left eye cataract surgery so hopefully the grass won't be too bad by the time it needs mowed again.

I actually cut everything for a change all 3 1/2 acres along with weed eating an area I only cut 3-4 times a year. It took me a little over five hours with a break about mid way. I was getting so tired of cutting something every few days trying to catch up. I was so tired but it felt so good the next morning having some coffee on the back porch looking at everything all cut and done. The CC 1050LT is running flawlessly since I installed that new heavy duty starter.

We have a fairly large area that we kept mowed nice for family reunions we hosted for about 8 years. Horseshoe court, flat area for Croquet, shade for playing yard Junga, etc. Kids got older, only a couple showed up for the last one so we quit hosting the reunion and quit mowing that area. Haven't mowed it for several years now. Getting some Queen Anns lace in it now so may knock it down again. Cut about 45 min off the mowing time.
My stepdad and I went for a ride to test out his new steering that he fixed on his 6 horse Craftsman, so I took the hydro for a ride…..
Yesterday morning was garden time. Ground was work up good and was talking rain last evening so had to do it. I made two rows and Carolyn put in 150 onion plants. I finished up the fence to keep the rabbits out. Then planted the big moon pumpkins, some small green pumpkins, ornamental gourds, a row of cucumbers along a panel fence and small decorator pumpkins. Cauliflower is setting heads even with the leaves gone. Tomatoes are forming maters so put the 3 cages around them. to late for radish or lettuce this year. Will have to see what farmers market has available. Cutting way back this year due to work ability and only the two of us plus a very late start. No watermellon of musk mellon this year. Will buy a couple - less work for sure.
Thanks Rad
Thanks guys. Follow up this morning went well. Still have some trouble reading and typing though. The surgeon said that readers will be the only glasses I will need.

I have this listed on a few tractor forums. Received 3 responses. Best offers are $50, $80 and $120. I thought I had priced this well enough looking at what was sold from 2015 till now. Postings from way back were about $300. So I dropped to $260 thinking this would move fast.
1. Is my asking price unreasonable.
2. Are those people low-ballers looking to snag it and then re-sell to get a huge profit off my restoration?
I mean, the Brinly single plows went for $250 and $300 last summer.
Anyone have some feedback?
Oh, and found this rather recent posting, yet no wheels and really crusty looking.

I believe some people throw a number out with really no intentions of buying just to be (a ) holes.
I'll always counter them by taking $5 off...usually the last you hear from them..
Glad your doing well Doug. Hope you're running out of stuff to get fixed..
And the Dr. didn't tell you what size readers to get ?
Just funnin with you Doug..God I hope not...
Thanks for the laugh, Bill and the comments Jim and Rick. I will have to figure out readers yet. Right now my glasses seem to be working ok. The bifocal part is ok. Don't seem to need the rest of the lens though! Will have to look and see what power the ones I got for welding are, and if that power might work. Just worked on some sign stuff this afternoon.
I now return everyone back to "What did you do with your tractor today?"---LOL!
