most of the problem there is the loaders...those things will mess up a tractor so fast, especially if u don't kno how to operate them...once, this guy that i worked with rammed the loader into the rear wall of the silage pit and knocked the loader thru the back of the loader mount, glad i didn't have to fix that one!

I know what you mean. When he first put the loader on, he used wimpy little pipe pieces to space the loader frame from the tractor frame, since the loader was intended for a 66 series. Those of course didn't last. I made a solid plate to tie the bell and the front frame together. I still have to redo the ones he has on the front mount, if it weren't for where it mounts on the very front, it surely would have broke off by now. I swear, some of the crap he pulls, it's a wonder he's still alive.

Actually is up to 30 degrees up here, but received about 4 inches of wet/heavy snow yesterday. Keeps piling up. Good for the snowmobilers, but I don't have one.
Joined a Gym the other day 24/7 and started to lift weights again (haven't for awhile). Boy do I dred the "sore" phase. My arms feel like Jello right now and tomorrow I probably won't be able to move em.
Also, Joined Netflix. That works pretty good. I watch many movies, because I work night shifts (12 hours 3 days/week) and so I'm up at night alot on my days off and sometimes all I do is watch a movie or two. All my movie channels on Dish Network runs the same movies over and over and that gets old.
