For you folks up north, I thought you might appreciate this.
The county was cleaning ditches recently and stopped and asked if I could I use any dirt. Well duh, yea! Took 6 loads and told them that"s plenty. 12 yard trucks, but I"m sure they weren"t full. Anyway, the temps today were nearing 80 so I fired up the old trusty 3000 diesel, hooked up the poor man"s front end loader and went to work. Knocked out 3 of the 6 piles today. Put the back blade on the drug it out pretty well, didn"t get too fancy since there is more to do but for now I"m still smiling. No doubt about it, seat time is great on a warm day. Reckon I"ll miss the stupidbowl tomorrow while I try to finish up!

I don't know how you could stand to do any work in that heat!! :)
I've been looking for a back scoop, but I've been holding out for a bi-directional.
Aloha from Michigan!
 
Heat? Ha, it's cool right now...but does seem a bit warm for this early in the year.
The scoop is a King Kutter. I was going to buy one at TSC but kept watching for a used one, seems they are very hard to find down here in S. Texas. I stumbled on this one at a Kioti dealer for $125. It looked like it was used one time, just a little bit of paint wear by the cutting edge. Glad to have it, really handy.
 
That's nice. I just came in from blowing snow for about an hour. The only thing the county deposits in our yard is a drift of snow and cinders as the plow goes by about 40mph. We're grateful if he doesn't take our mailbox out! Supposed to get another 4-6 tonight. Fifteen below zero wind chill here yesterday morning. Sure glad we got that global warming thing going for us. (Edit: Sorry, I shouldnt have made that last comment, just this weather gets beside me sometimes...don't want to offend anyone)

Send some of those temps up here will ya. -Will
