Just a new thread to let everyone know I'm still here. I go through the group every day on Tapatalk just perusing. 2019 has come on like a lion and I'm praying it goes out like a lamb! As you know, version 0.8 of our pawn POS software was given to our client on 12/31/2018 for testing. That day, our bug list had 4 items on it. It's now up to 40, so I've been working 15-20 hrs a week on bugfix and feature enhancements. It hasn't allowed me much time for my models. Add to that that it's winter and a whole new set of problems emerge. Have to do some weather proofing to the house--already did some in the shop so I can work out there. I've also been feeding my outdoor power hobby!
I bought this baby 18 months ago: (2001, JD 455 with the 23hp Yanmar water-cooled diesel, locking rear differential, dual hydraulics in front, belly and rear, power steering, 26" rear wheels, etc)
It's a 1400 lb beast that I intend to be a multi-purpose machine! (Snow plow, tiller, mower, skid steer, etc) Unfortunately, the Deere attachments are expensive so I have to make my own when I can. I have plans in work for a front hitch utilizing the dual hydraulics that will have mounts for a snow blade, pallet forks and a johnny bucket. Until then, I am using this for snow removal: (2009 JD x324 with 22hp Kawasaki engine, all wheel steer complete with mowing deck and JD44 snowblower)
haha! I've been wanting to mow in the summers. The 324 would sure be easier to transport than my 455. I have a trailer that I"m setting up for my mowing equipment but to make it work with the 455 and attachments, I have to weld more support steel into it! (If I were to load up the 455 with snow blade, weights, chains and needed ballast, I'm looking at 2,000 lbs! The x324 is half that!)
