Old vs new, 11 years difference, 88k vs 159 miles. I thought my Platinum was sweet, this Lariat Ultimate wins hands down. Of course it's early to judge, but.....for now, the features are amazing.
Miss my old Tonka? Sure I do, is/was a great truck. I asked a lot from that truck and never let me down. Of course, preventive maintenance is key to longevity, along with other things. Tonka worked hard for me and helped me with the "funds, lol" to upgrade to the new one, along with other pieces of equipment through the years.
We added a used PJ 20ft landscape trailer to the fleet for smaller loads, we have additional lighting,drop gate assist, power tongue,additional D-rings. We also have the winches on both the 20ft landscape and 25 ft dovetail equipment trailer for non running items as well.
So yesterday, like Tonka, who seemed to like picking up tractors as well, now the new guy had its first job. Picked this tractor up and will be dropping off at the dealership for service work. We convey to the dealership what is to be performed, get a cost estimate and suggestions and relay back to the owner. This takes the stress out the owners life letting someone else deal with it. And when completed, we will deliver back to the owner.

So, what do I name the new guy? Has a 7.3 Godzilla motor. Maybe Godzilla?

Can I call it Tonka II?

Suggestions?How original,right?

Happy New Year to all. Let’s see what the new year brings for She Digs It!

Maintenance is always cheaper than repairs.
And sometimes you have to spend money to make money.
At almost 400 hours and just about 2 years old, the ole tractor goes in for its full service. Granted it does have intervals at certain hours that also need to be completed up to this.
Keeping it greased every 10 hours or so is also a key factor in normal wear.
Trailer makes the tractor look like a tinker toy....Remember,
adjusting where the equipment sits on the trailer is also important, the tractor will be moved slightly more over the wheels, then chained/strapped down.

She Digs It is getting down and dirty!
The view yesterday afternoon while leveling a customers driveway in Vermont. Just doing some preventive maintenance before the snow flies, getting the rain run off and pot holes out of the driveway.
Will certainly be back in the spring once the snow is gone to clean up any damage that has been done by the snowplow.
It appears to be a family of a doe herd enjoying the afternoon feast.
The mountains foliage is obscured by clouds unfortunately.
And we will be onto the next project of bush hogging.

This driveway had washboard from snowplowing. And it also was full of potholes. So it was scraped and graded till smooth with a slight crown.
While there, customer stated they had a large tree branch that had fallen and stuck into the soil. So, that was done as well.
Doing this driveway was a joy with amazing views.
Another happy customer!

While there is no digging or grading going on, it’s time to get a few things done for myself.
Sometimes you have to haul those heavy loads!
My 1977 Honda CT90, heading to get a well deserved cleaning and put back together again and get it fired up. It certainly won’t be perfect but that’s okay. It’s all about the ride.

Sometimes you get that quick little job close enough to home that you can just drive the tractor to the job site. This was a quick spread of millings, the driveway had washed a small crevice in the lower section. Customer dumped the millings and I leveled it out. In and out.
