Ed Kennell 45,377 #25607 Posted 21 hours ago First mowing this year. Used the 310-8 and Trac Vac to clean up all the winter duff. Did my lawn and all the right o ways around the farm. Then paid a visit to my neighbors green house for flowers. 1 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
adsm08 4,272 #25608 Posted 21 hours ago (edited) We put the deck on the Commando and did the spring greasing, then the boy did the first mow of the season. Then we used it to move five big wagon fulls of gravel around where we are making parking for the trailers. I still have to reseed half the yard from this winter's construction project.

Wishin4a416 2,506 #25609 Posted 21 hours ago (edited) I blew some paint on a hood I got from a member here. Original had tree damage. I will shoot the grill satin black when red is good and dry. This was a Toro black stripe hood but will become a burgundy stripe hood. I power washed and serviced the little 36 inch deck. The tractor will go to camp for summer.

ebinmaine 77,895 #25610 Posted 19 hours ago Couple pics of the 1974 C160-8 Cinnamon Horse and Mackissic chipper shredder at work today. The one with the tractor was the very beginning of the first pile. The one not showing the tractor is the end of the second pile. I would say a good strong 4+ hours of work today, off n on. Quite a lot of chips produced. Have to be very very careful. The interior hammers will suck in the material at extremely high speed. But the outside blade, you have to push the material into it. It's quite an extreme workout to operate this thing. This pile is about the size of the tractor. Also, Jaxon was here for a visit today. Him & BBT worked hard, and played hard. 4 1 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

EB-80/8inPA 1,990 #25613 Posted 17 hours ago Well, I think I finally got the C160 running ok, provided the Kroil fixes an annoying resistance in the choke cable that mysteriously appeared for no apparent reason. And a front tire went flat, too. This machine seems to hate me of a sudden - I fix one thing and then something else goes on the fritz. There’s no end to it! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And now we see why I prefer to just shred everything and reassemble as new. Great reduction of future issues. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There are several attachments I'd love to have, but that chipper might just be the one I'd get the most use from. Very nice setup! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We'll be using it a LOT this year. The last several warm seasons here we've been doing larger projects for other folks. All good. Love helping people. .... but we need to spend this spring summer fall catching up with our own chores. We have a brush pile from the barn build that's been setting mostly untouched for almost 4 years. Several clearing projects and the piles from them. Lots of firewood and that brush. And a couple serious winter storms that knocked trees down. I could easily run this chipper 3 to 5 hours every week and not be done this year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrianKoch 359 #25617 Posted 3 hours ago Happy Easter Gentlemen! This morning I began the process of figuring out what is leaking on the 312A’s hydro pump. Lot of cleaning ahead of me… I also ordered a new motion control plate as this one is pretty wallowed out. 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
