I’m praying nothing breaks when I’m a mile from the shop lol

I’ve not had a piece of diesel equipment work in my south plot without some kind of failure. That area eats machines.

I regret not taking pictures before I started and then after the jobs were done. Learning that the "jobs" might not actually ever be done. Seems like there's always something I'm finding to keep expanding or improving somehow. DIESEL THERAPY. Sitting in a stand on opening morning is the only thing that beats running equipment on my own property. jmo

I love that term

Also love the smell of diesel and Remedy

If you Google diesel therapy you get a completely different perspective. Guess guys sent to the big house look at it differently. I like our kind of diesel therapy tho also

I suppose "seat time" wouldn't be any better phrase in the big house either. Poor attempt at humor. I'll try to do better.

Where I'm at it's john deere and CAT for options to rent a mini ex as far as I know. Wouldn't mind trying out a Bobcat just to see what those are like. Maybe if I make it to the state fair this year I can check out some different brands at my favorite place at the fair= machinery hill.

I got to my place this afternoon and put about 3 hours on the rental (Kubota U55-5). I managed to clear some roads of trees we cut in January, dug up several stumps and rough graded a small plot in the woods. There’s definitely a learning curve, but I’m getting some work done. Digging is actually easier than I expected. The hydraulics on this thing are very strong. It was a wonderful evening sitting in an air conditioned cab. I can see why you guys enjoy these machines so much. Tomorrow I’ll tackle some more stumps and grading as well as some clearing for some apple trees I need to get in ASAP.
