My Tractor Is Too Small

I should have bought the 8000lb ditch witch! My lawn tractor just isn't doing it for me these days, without bypassing its safety features and precariously climbing on the front end to do the tractor pull.

I have work at least for a couple of weeks, flat out busy. But its light out till 9pm or later, so I managed to top all the Maples in the front yard tonight, with my new 20' ladder I had to buy for this job. The Maples don't need to be more than 25' high. They don't seem to root very deep, and they tend to be a bit off balance too. They fall down everywhere, not in my yard yet, but its only a matter of time. These ones have been positioned to take out my power line, and cars in the driveway. I was just dragging some of the branches to the back yard, hopefully I can borrow the neighbors mulcher this weekend n grind them up.

Lawn Tractor, Plow, Trouble Shooting



So starting the lawn tractor with the drill has its disadvantages. I would have thought turning the crank shaft nut would be easier on the key than cranking the motor from the flywheel. I have sheered a second key now, and the way the flywheel is marked, it looks like it might have been sheered in the past. I still haven't finished part 2 of the video, but I think it will include a new lawn tractor block heater.

Michelle messed up her rib cage some how. I am here waiting for her at the chiropractor, I think I pulled the recorder out too late. I can hear him using some clicky gun type thing on her back. The audio goes something like "click, ouch, click, ouch, click, oh, click, ouch".
