    Yes... Since I bought it... its my back saver...and why I bought it...and that pick was pretty much the max... I tried a couple of more doubles and it would pick but not by much... so I made like 8 trips back and forth... No biggie...just a few more trips...

    I moved a couple of 2 ton dump loads of Sugar Maple limbs after work before a week of rain sets in.

    Dropped a good sized red oak tree that is in the way for the new garage. Measured 26” DBH and jut under 3 cord of firewood. If you look closely the Kubota is in the background of the second picture. The saw is a 372 with a 24” bar.

    sadly that’s close to the most we have had this winter. I have the snow blower mounted on the 2025R and it’s only been used 3 times to remove snow. We got 6” in one storm followed by rain so it quickly disappeared. It was in the 40’s yesterday and supposed to be 51 today.

    We hauled 18 tons of gravel Friday for the camper shed area. 3 trips with the dump trailer 20240223_141155.jpg
    Too heavy to dump, so scooped some off the back and spread it... 26484.jpeg

    Then used the ramps to get tractor to pull from the front... 26476.jpeg

    Spent a good amount of time moving dirt last week for the new garage. Separated a bunch of rock out of the excavated materials, made piles of flat rock for walls, and round rock for woods roads. It all came to a sudden stop Saturday as we got 6” of snow and a couple inches of ice. Hopefully it’s gone by the end of the week and I can finish leveling off the area for the new garage.
    The big red oak stump had to go.

    Started moving excavated material. IMG_4683.jpeg
    More moving excavated material.

    Getting closer to being done Friday evening before snow.
