Rolling dirt

Recommended Posts

WHGuy413

Today I played hooky from work and did a few errands which included running to our local Toro dealer to get some new blades for my deck. I then grabbed some pieces and made a solid lift for my 753 not wanting to wait for a cable in the mail. Bud Andrews gave me the idea and it seems to work out great. Dodged some rain drops and went out with my trusty helper (Alex not Aiden this time) and turned over some dirt. Of course I then went to switch to my harrows and the pin for the fan gear musta broke cause I have no steering and that's where it stops turning. Oh well always something.

I gota say, that looks like a real mess.. What do you have up there. timber clay?  It doesn't look anything like Illinois rich black dirt.

Hope all goes well. I remember when I was working never had enough time to do what I wanted to do. She definitely in the mud. Enjoy.

We have had rain almost every day for 2 weeks. Things are muddy. No clay here its Connecticut river valley dirt. Some of the best around. It just looks greasy due to the rain.

Been down that road before with both the 702 and the 854. If you are using a regular roll pin, you can replace it and add a 1/8" (I think) pin inside once the larger one is installed - that helps to resist shock loading better.

An even better fix is to use a heavy duty coiled pin - McMaster carries them.
