playing in the dirt part 2--two NF's

Post by Jeff in Pa »

Since the 42" blade didn't want to cut thru packed dirt, I put the tiller on the 125 and attacked it.

( not shown in the pics but if you lift the rear guard and back into the dirt, you can cut it down / reduce the height pretty quickly )


Then I jumped on the 122 to move the fresh loose dirt around.

The area turned out pretty good

Here's what it looked like before I started

The 125 with the 1A tiller, 10.50 fluid filled tires and the 122 ( creeper gear ) with the 42" blade, 8.50 ags and 60+ lb each wheel weights

Nice work. Did you have an issue with trees roots with the tiller?

Thanks

The small ones ( 1/2"-3/4" ) get chopped up without me knowing. The bigger ones make the tiller jump so I either go the other direction quickly ( love my hydro ) or a little bit of lift makes it ok.

We've been dumping coal ash and composting leaves there for about 7 years. The dirt looks real nice ( my wife has all kinds of plans now for that area :lol: )

Jeff from PA,
Looks like you gave your cubs a good workout.
