I must be lazy

[TDF5G 2,073]

I took the dozer blade off of the B-80 and did some maintenance to get ready for mowing.   I move blades and mower decks around the basement with the two wheeler dolly all the time.   I wanted to put this one out of my way in the shed, which is uphill.  I strapped it on with a couple of bungies and towed it with the .  I'm lazy I reckon or maybe just wanted another excuse to use the tractor for something!     Had to go easy or it would scoot over into the rear tire.  

 

The ball hitch mount was a PO install on one of my other tractors.  It's two pieces of angle iron bolted on.

My old boss used to say "if you want to find an easy way to get a job done, hire a lazy guy"!

Looks like you work smarter......not harder.

I have a piece of 2" X 1/4" flat stock welded to the top of my two wheel dolly which made it a trailer, works great.

I did put the blade in the dump cart one time and hauled it.  Never tried that again.

I'm with Pete. Work Smart, Not Hard. Take it from those of us who now know that we should have saved our backs along the way. They are a lot like a tank of gas. Only so many hard miles you can put on them.

Oh Man, at first glance, I thought we had the first rear mounted snow / dozer blade.

Yeas ago I pulled my hand truck out of the shed and found the back rounded part of the handle with a hole worn in it???? Turns out one of my sons and friends had taken it and tied it behind my mower  (similar to your plow carrier) to give each other rides ...(and the handle wore through dragging on the dirt and pavement.  Later I learned this had turned into who could stay on over the most bumps etc.  Boys will be boys!

I drilled the hole out in my hitch large enough so a hitch ball would fit a few years ago so I could tow my wood splitter to my timber or wood pile. Then remove the ball and use the hitch for my dump cart, lawn roller and lawn sweeper.

That's sounds like something we would have done when we were kids!

2 wheel cart and a tractor is a lot smarter that 2 wheel cart and " call 911  " something popped in my back.

[AMC RULES 37,196]

Perfectly acceptable, any excuse at all...

just to use your  .   Works for me.

You aren't lazy, you are a thinker!

I noticed the color of the cart also appears to be the acceptable color WH Red...

 TDF5G     Any time you can have an excuse to get some seat time it is ok.  I have to get the 65 Springfield from under the porch. So I will be doing the same thing soon. It is all good.

That's what I usually do Eric.  It depends on the weather and what I'm doing at the moment with the tractors.  This is an old extra blade I just got last fall and already had it off of the tractor in the garage before I realized what I was doing actually.  It is easier to remove and install the blade or decks on the pavement in the drive or garage than on the hill in the back yard too!  

[ronhatch 406]

I prefer to change my attachments in my garage or the blacktop drive, depending on the weather.  I like to separate the WH snow blade from the undercarriage because it's lighter to handle and easier to store in my tool shed   I wish I had a cement floor rather then gravel in my shed.

I had a solid hitch  (1x1)fabricated to fit my  310-8  so I could tow splitter and  empty trailer and heavy loaded cart without bending stock hitch

What is that beast parked behind the Wheel Horse blade ?

[TDF5G 2,073]

EZ-GO golf cart.

[cleat 7,260]

And it has a 2" receiver hitch.

 

That could come in handy at times.

[TDF5G 2,073]

I put that on there.  It's a bumper hitch add on for a pickup truck from Harbor Freight.  I do use it occasionally.
