Sure is a pretty Day there Doug as it was here. Me and the Wifey got some outside work done too. Looks like you had more fun though.

Quite comfortable in short sleeve shirt and hunting pants. Low '50s with approx 25mph wind out of the west. Got mostly cloudy soon after I started which helped.  Had a lot of fun...........:)

I also used my front blade for leaf management this year! Worked like a charm!

The sweeper and snow blade did an awesome job of cleaning up the yard. Near spotless now! :thumbs:

Very nice setup, excellent cleanup!

Where did all the leaves come from? Back east we learned, "Iowa only has corn."

And hogs...lots and lots of hogs!!

What you need is one of these Doug.....  It came with my recent 520...I am considering selling it. Better yet I will trade you for that cab and you can sell the the leaf plow.

Yeah......... Thats what I'm wondering............. Seems like a lot more than normal this year, probably because it wouldn't stop raining.......... You're right about the corn as well. But we make ethanol fuel out of it these days instead of using it for food..............:wacko:

Did you build the hills with the dozer blade? A good Horse'll do that for ya! :huh:
Ethanol fuel? I often pick up Non-Ethanol at the local airport. Guess that's another subject.

You know, my 520H will move more snow faster than I can with my Ford 860 Ag tractor with a 6 foot rear blade and only uses a gallon of gas instead of  ten........  :lol:

Lots of hogs = lots of bacon, pork chops, ham, sausage and who doesn't love pickled pigs feet and a good hog jowl ???????????      :lol:



I would love to have that collection system, but there's 3  5 reasons I can't right now...........


1. Have not paid credit card bill for new cab.

2. Have not paid credit card bill for new lawn sweeper.

3.  Wife..................

4.  Desire to keep on living.

5.  Can't run very fast any more........

                                     :lol:
