What did you do with your tractor today?

It's not looking good, Noel! 60 mph wind kept me from wanting to do it today, Tomorrow is supposed to be fairly calm but only in the low 40's. I don't know what my wife will want to do for Mothers Day either. Monday sounds bad too! I'll get pics soon as possible.

I do remember that your Mom died on the same day as mine, just it was 2009 for us. Unbelieveable how fast time goes by. I still don't have her truck driveable. Now it seems her only surviving sibling may not be around much longer. She's 101 and was still living on her own until Thursday night. Her caretakers that would stop by every day to help her with chores have taken her in. A severe pain developed in her left knee causing her foot to paralyze. Hospice gave her morphine and she hasn't been awake since. That will be the end of that generation in our family.

I took this afternoon off work as the weather sucked too bad to mow last weekend. Beautiful day but guess what----RAIN! I mowed anyway. We got .2" while mowing but is came down gently. I rushed it being paranoid it was going to dump but it never did. MF12G did great!
Noel requested pics.
Grass stuck to the tractor!
Started blowing off all the stuck green stuff.
I think the cut quality was ok considering the rain, Noel. The "middle" yard.
About an hour after getting done, the sun came out. The front yard.

Sadly Doug, time changes everything.
Grass looks great. Sure was wet. Tractor looks good too. I maybe mowing end of next week. Frost tonite. Slow spring. No heat.
I’ll be using the the lawnboy push mower to cut the grass, I think, again this summer. If I get lazy, I might find a ride on.

Kenny is also in the towing business!! That boom worked great! Are those the weights you casted out of lead?
DAC
Yep! I've moved a lot of things around with that boom. Only time the front gets light is when I load the fork lift with firewood.
Out out out, you tractors. Get some fresh air. First nice day since last summer. So out they went. Not sure if I’m gunna take the snow thrower and rear blade off the JD 140H3 and put the deck on. Only 4 months and be startin to put winter stuff back on. 
And the MF 12 rear snow thrower will come off and tiller put on. Maybe this week. The Ford will stay ready for winter, just in case.

I dug out my mower today... aired up a couple low tires... put a battery in it.... been dry here so dont really need to do much mowing just yet but I can start taking the tops off all the pretty yellow flowers.
Used the mf 7 to pull around the wagon full of sod I peeled up around the edge of the house. Hard to believe that old girl didn't even notice 200 pounds of weight in the wagon.
Wife used the Craftsman PGT9000 and the Snapper push mower to mow the yard while I worked on the #1 tiller that’s goes on my Cub Cadet 123. I replaced a couple of roll pins that secure a sprocket on a shaft. Pulled a dummy and had the drive belt too tight..... when I jammed on a rock a few weeks ago, rather than the belt slipping, the roll pins sheared. Not a fun job, but I had to replace those one other time when I first got the Cub, so it was wayyyy more familiar than the first time.
With any luck, maybe the garden spot will be dry enough to till tomorrow evening. Gotta get after the weeds! And hopefully get some stuff planted!

She is growing up quickly!
Yeah, her nickname is Shorty. Wonder how much longer I'll get away with that?
Finally the weather cooperated enough to do "Mowing Monday"! I did mow last Thursday afternoon, but with the moisture since then and now temps warming up it's growing quickly, especially the damndelions! Standing water in the back yard had reduced to mud so no trouble with that. Did the trimming too. MF12G ran fine.
