squonk 38,569 #4 Posted November 15, 2015 There are no natural hills in Iowa. Must be a miragee. You got A/C in that cab? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougC 2,641 #8 Posted November 15, 2015 Bet it was like a sauna...there in that cab today. 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........... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougC 2,641 #10 Posted November 15, 2015 Wow, I thought I had a lot of leaves in my compost pile until I saw yours. I hear that a lot.............. Should have used the chain saw quite a bit more than I did 25 years ago when I bought the place.............. My dad thought I was crazy when he seen me plow leaves My neighbors out here are sure I am.... But it moves the leaves where I want want em in short order............. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 23,806 #15 Posted November 15, 2015 I also used my front blade for leaf management this year! Worked like a charm! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,514 #18 Posted November 16, 2015 Very nice setup, excellent cleanup!Where did all the leaves come from? Back east we learned, "Iowa only has corn." 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WHX?? 46,404 #19 Posted November 16, 2015 Very nice setup, excellent cleanup! 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. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougC 2,641 #20 Posted November 16, 2015 Very nice setup, excellent cleanup!Where did all the leaves come from? Back east we learned, "Iowa only has corn." 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.............. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lots of hogs = lots of bacon, pork chops, ham, sausage and who doesn't love pickled pigs feet and a good hog jowl ??????????? I would love to have that collection system, but there's 3 4 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........ 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
