I find it amazing how these machines make you say, yay I have work to do. Ive been meaning to collect some firewood for a few months now. Got 'er done today, and really quick and easy too!
Mine got hot as well. I thought there was something wrong with it. The old one had better augers. They went right in. But several things are cheapened up on the newer ones.Finished that HF "Portable Garage". "Portable" ?!? I'll burn that thing down before I disassemble it and move it. However for the cost and convenience, it's perfect for its use. I've never actually had a high power (950lb/ft reverse TQ) pneumatic impact gun get hot from use, but thanks to @duramaxsky for the 36mm recommendation- It was all it had to drive those anchors in PA shale ground. But it's done, it's about to storm and everything is under cover!
Put about an hour on Hobbs playing forklift and using the 3pt to move things back in, then put it back in mowing configuration.

Edit: And smacked my head on the half folded ROPS since I never use that position, n but needed the clearance to get in/out of the new "garage". Very curious as to how this thing holds up.
I hope everyone is having a great Sunday!
I was going to say I saw you put at least an hour on it not mowing.Wait…Of the 400 hrs I put on my tractor maybe 70 have been mowing so…
Your handi work looks great, but I just have to ask......If you were worried about the OEM lights on the outside of the ROPS and having had a close call, what about the position of the new LED's, or are you willing to sacrifice them as compared to the ROPS lights? The cost difference is huge, I know....(between having to replace the factory ROPS lights verses the new LED lights)........Moved the lights inside the ROPS after a close call with a branch yesterday. Also added rear LED lights(Amazon specials). This took a lot more effort than I thought. The toolbox had to be removed to fish wires, connectors for work lights are larger than standard barrel connectors and of course hit my head on the ROPS. I don't know who put those zip ties on originally but I couldn't come close to that organization.
Front LED replacement bulbs should be in today hopefully.

Best wishes for your father's health improvements..........I’ve spent the past week monitoring my dad in the hospital so lots of mowing in my near future. But I did get the ammo box installed…

I was wearing my Kenny-Shirt at one of the big box stores a while back. Had two different people asking me questions about products. I told them that I didn't work there. The second lady said "well, when I saw your special shirt I just assumed you did." LOL!!!It's also time to modernize my "Kenny Shirt inventory" as the recent pavement projects have really taken a toll on my favorite work shirts......

I ordered 3 of the "Big Boy" shirts yesterday and when I mentioned it to Mrs. Bear. she replied "Only 3?, why not a dozen like last time?"When I ordered my hooks he was out of stock of the “ big boy “ shirts so I didn’t get one. I was disappointed I couldn’t get one at the time. Now that he’s got another style I been sniffing around his site. Looks like I’m gonna have to make another order and get a couple shirts while at it.
You'd think he'd know his audience! 🤣 If the tractors are doing all the work... the bellies are getting bigger with every sip of the Yeti!When I ordered my hooks he was out of stock of the “ big boy “ shirts so I didn’t get one.
This was during the time he was redesigning his shirts and selling off the old ones. All the big boy shirts were bought up already so I was SOLYou'd think he'd know his audience! 🤣 If the tractors are doing all the work... the bellies are getting bigger with every sip of the Yeti!
Was the ignition switch the end of the bee's "activity", or is there more? Just curious, where is your tractor stored when not in use?Just got home from 2 weeks vacation Went to start the tractor up and couldn't put the key in the switch. One of those damn little bees filled the key hole with mud.
Got a pic and cleaned most of it out then washed it with simple green and rinsed with water. Let it dry. Started right up Let it warm up for a minute and started to drive. Engine shut down and could not get it to start. Key on and nothing lite up on the dash. Turned out to be the 10 amp ignition fuse. Changed it and all is well.
