Fancy new $5 name too! BWAHAHAHA
Well no saw action today but plenty of brownie points with the cook!! She's been wanting a rug loom. So out to the shop I went. Lots of drilling!!!!! About half done. Needs sanded, corners rounded , a dado cut where the pieces overlap and gluing in the pins top and bottom.

Finally got the mounting bracket finished fir the plow I got second hand from a neighbor. Now one of these days. I'll have to take both the bracket and plow off to be preped for primer and paint! 
Probably this Spring.
Cut safe, stay sharp and be aware!

users often cannot give very good location information and any descriptions of the conditions offered are often completely wrong! What happens is I'll go out alone expecting something simple and run into 6-7+ trees all tangled up, or I go out with my cutting partner expecting a big job and find a stupid sapling! It's always an adventure!
On our first trip back on the river hiking trail after the summer, we went in with information from a fisherman friend of one of the volunteers. He said there were 4 trees down across the trail, I counted twelve and none were recent.
Shoot man, you could have used a saw for that too lol.
Sure looks like a great score though

Looks good to me.
I prefer the manual handle over using the winch, it's faster and it gives the operator a lot more precise control.
I imagine that would be a tough one for a program like that. I do find it amazing the things it gets right, also the things it gets wrong lol.I don't use the maps function so much while on an assignment, but my phone gets goofy with alerts sometimes when I'm on fires. I had trouble with turning them off last year on the little 1 million acre fire we had, kept going off with warnings to evacuate.
Using directions on google maps is almost useless in those scenarios. Because the roads are shut down to the public, it tries to reroute me 1/2 across the state.
Here's one from a couple weeks ago, I was sitting at the dock
.
This one was pretty funny, I screen shot it before heading thru the area not sure exactly what I was gonna find. Well the map was correct, there was a new road right where it said it was and everything on those blocks had been demolished, pretty funny looking though.
Nice work KK. Not as easy as my pins, but it looks stronger ... good job!
Note to self: Replace missing 3rd bolt in plow bracket in the spring (will necessitate removing the battery).

We ran 12 foot viking plows on the 624h derre and 938m cat. Had no issues covering the wheels when the plow was hard over. Had a 14 foot vee but it was hardly ever used.

I think I may end up moving the mount back to the next cross member in the bottom of the frame. I was going to do that originally but I took poor measurements. In turn, I bought the wrong size U-bolt. I wasn't about to do the 100 mile round trip to the hardware store again, so I made it work.
As far as the controls.
You think letting go of the handle bar to grab a lever then letting go of the lever to grab the handle bar is faster then a control switch at the grip? Unless your plowing with one hand constantly on the plow lever and one hand constantly on the handle bar ? I don't see it.

How did you load the truck? Equipment?
The 624H is 8.44 feet wide, mine is 8’ 11” wide, unless it barely cleared for you it won’t be a problem. That’s good, 12’ is easier to find.
Back when, one time gunny called everyone "imbilesiles" when they called him out. Whenever I see someone do something entirely stupid, I subconsciously think "imbilesile" rather than imbecile.

Anyone have a suggestion for a rake gauge plates? I was looking at the west coast saw ones. I need 3/8, 3/8 lp and .325
So I just got my first facebook ban....24 hours for saying drug dealers should be hung to dry.
A looming project…
