What have you done "WITH" your Wheel Horse

[rick 308]

Nice work above!

As soon as the dew dries off, I have my weekly mowing to do.  Four hours plus or minus of sitting on the 1997 314-8 with a 1993 48" deck. 

I'd love to buy a Ferris 300S or 500S 48" Zero Turn mower.  48 inch deck so it will fit on my Holmes 5x10 trailer.  A new 42" deck would be nice for the 314-8 as well.

It's been blazing hot which severely limits my outdoor time. That doesn't affect the BBT at all though. 

I've been watching the dog (there's a thread about that) so Trina can get some wood processed.

A hardy worker you are!

I am SO glad to need only 15 minutes with the push mower and 25 minutes seat time to do a complete job mowing. Just as it starts to feel onerous, I’m done and can have a cold drink!

The 520 was first in line so it got put on trailer duty. Needed to pressure wash my shop. Since the ends are 30’wide and 18’ high at the peak I used a stepladder in a small trailer. The 520 kept it stable. The north side is 40” x9.5 to the soffiting.  No ladder needed.  The east and north sides needed to be hit with some house wash/ mold remover. Since there are flower beds and gardens on the west and south sides they only got rinsed without the house wash. I normally do this every year, butI kinda skipped last year and the mold came on really strong this season.

 After that the 520 got hooked to the “water buffalo “ and went on watering duty. 20 gallon sprayer with a small dose of miracle grow added to it.

Interesting tank setup. Is this commercially available or something you made?

You can buy these at about any place like Rural King, Tractor Supply , Running's, Big R. 
 On wheels or not. Got this from my brother when he moved to Tennessee. He had it on the back of his golf cart for his wife to use.

 Not having or wanting a golf cart I made up a trailer for it.  Also had extra deep cycle batteries from an

Elec-Track.
Usually need a second tankful to do all of our watering.

Extra verbage

Today I bought two planters for the Mrs. After unloading them into my wagon I thought it might be picture worthy so I snapped one while on their way to their destination.
