I could not live without mine. That said, I do look forward to the day I don't need one!!

I know it's usually choatic, but figured I'd ask to see how everyone is doing in the community?

7lbssmallie, hey dudes, checking in, all good 63, retired; kinda miss being on the front line though, that is until i started reading new posts on stuff like , code whatever, you now have half power until code cleared,

Turned 70. All original parts. Retired, but still farming Christmas tree, honey and eggs. Read to my sons 2nd grade class everyday and help my daughters 5th grade class.

I turned 70 2 months ago. My skid steer is my helper…….my heavy lifter! I use it to do normal dirt/mulch moving, boulder placement (“Hey Honey, could you move those boulders closer to the fire pit?”). 6 months ago, our refrigerator died (our kitchen is on second floor). Rolled it to the patio door, then onto balcony, unscrewed railing, switch bucket to forks with a pallet, and pocket up new refrigerator, lifted up and did swap. Lowered old one onto truck. My Gehl 4835 can just reach 10ft with the forks.

Yep, I’ll keep my skid steer! And my wife even says “that is so useful around here! Both are keepers!!!!

Yeah I would not be where I am in life without my skidsteer around the house.

Doing good here. I have not been using the skid loader much. As a matter of fact I think my 17 year old nephew uses it more than I do.

It's still winter in Estonia. The weather is changeable, one day it can rain, snow, sometimes all together, then the sun can shine again with a temperature of 10-12 degrees. This is the struggle between winter and spring. Construction work is progressing to a small extent, major maintenance and repair work on machinery was done at the beginning of the year, currently we are filling our time with holidays - many are going to Turkey and Egypt, many are adventuring around Estonian hiking trails, as well as in Latvia and Lithuania. I am doing hobbies because I have time.

Then what will you do...

For some unknown reason I hear the Green Acers song.

Doing fine in general.
Not so good with new Bobcat T86.

Update:
Got rid of T86, because Bobcat could not fix the cab sucking in dust and dirt.
A problem which appears to be inherent to all T86s, and possibly S86, T76, & S76.

Replaced T86 with John Deere 335-P.

I seem to have most of the issues on my bobcat 863 ironed out. I haven't been using it as much as I used to but now I need to clear a lot so I will be. I just purchased a standard flow stump grinder but it came with a case drain return line which my machine is lacking. It looks like a fairly simple install. I didn't realize how long it had been since I was last on this site. Getting used to change is always a challenge for old guys. I do appreciate the community here.

Getting ready for Christmas here. Just did a day of Santa | Mrs. Claus training. My latest Youtube video on regrading my driveway is nearly up to 800 views and is the most watched video I've done so far. Building our new Christmas-themed homestead is going pretty slow though. I'm still trying to figure out if I should get a bigger tractor, a skidsteer, a mini-ex, or a dozer as my next piece of equipment to do the next phase of land clearing. Or just hire it all out. I have more time than money, but I'd rather invest in equipment that will hold its value well for my future weekly use rather than throw it all out in equipment rentals.

That said, I just got tested for Lyme and other tick-borne diseases this morning. I've been feeling kind of yucky with a lot of symptoms, which normally I would treat individually with no concern, but have been piling up lately and on top of each other so I want to rule them out.

Accepting each day as it dawns, with gratitude. Then doing anything I can to help the earth and others, every chance I get.
We are a community, though we often isolate, and stay in the silo.
You members here are great, not only asking, but sharing.
