Took the Kubota KX41-3 trackhoe up to the sugar house to test the vertical 3pt hitch splitter that I built a tool tach for to mount it horizontally on the boom for a couple hrs. today. The tool tach locks over the H beam of the splitter on the hoe side and slides into the top link bracket of the splitter to pin there and then I drilled a 5/8" bolt hole to fasten the tool tach to the splitter on the right side of the tach. Turned out to be a very solid hookup easy to detach from the hoe. Splitting cyl moves a bit slow, but knowone has to manhandle unsplit blocks bent over or on their knees. We split 30+-" wood. I just swing the splitter over a block and grab it, swing around where the guys are stacking and and split the blocks. I just set in the seat, and operate the hoe. the other guys pick up and stack the wood that doesn't need splitting, and the ones that I have split with the hoe. I left the 3pt crossbar on the splitter. It works well to hook out blocks from the pile. the splitter can be pivoted 180* on the boom end, and the booms independant swing from the house, allows me to align the splitter with blocks. Just need to get used to using my left foot to operate the splitting cyl. and the right foot to swing the boom on the house. No problems with the hand controls. This hoe is just powerful extensions of my arms. Everyone is happy with the way it works. The shed needs to be full to the rafters for the spring syrup season. A neighbor adjacent to the sugar bush wants a old hedgrow cut down about a half mile long this fall so we should have enough wood without cutting in the sugar bush. Loren, the Acg.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
