Winter Projects

While the boat is put up for the winter, the focus has been turned to packing the freezer and ranch improvements.

Picked up a new disc harrow for the Kubota:



Trying to reclaim some old pasture full of prickly pear that isn't doing me any good and turn it into a productive dove ground. Made a test strip where I removed the pear, disced, and will seed with sunflower, sorghum, and milo for next season:

Love a good dove shoot.

That looks good! I work on a little food plot for deer season every year in the woods behind my house. Wish I had a disc like that! The ole ‘57 JD 420 with a box still gets it done, just takes a few (dozen) more passes lol:

Pretty JD... what do you plant in your deer plot?

I have small rider that somehow survived 4 generations of abuse in my family.



Don’t make them like they used to...

That is a sweet rider, I’d love to restore an old Deere or cub cadet yard tractor like that!

I’m in the southeast so usually some form of a clover mix.

Use to pull a little JD like that one, tough as could be.

Here’s my other tractor, just got a set of forklift forks for the bucket and wish I had gotten them 10 years ago:

It’s amazing how handy they are. I use my tractor for all kinds of things not just for moving dirt or brush hogging. Used it few years back to change out the V bunk boards on the trailer.

Added double layers of Noico 80 mil butyl and aluminized heat shield to the trans and engine covers:





And it may seem trivial, but rerouted / cleaned up all the wiring so I could actually close the battery boxes. Always amazes me that you pay so much for a new boat and you get a rats nest with wires chaffing on the sharp plastic edges:

Looking good. We added the Noico as well, made a pretty big difference on noise. There is also a large gap between the trans cover and the wall. Added a piece of weather stripping there.

At least you could re-route the wires on these boats, our 5th wheel is such a mess on wires and they are too short, there's no way to close the lids on them. They use screws for the lids, so for now I just put longer ones in it. That's another thing on my list to work on this winter.
