Simplicity. They offer a thumb control for the chute deflector too but mine doesn’t have it. It’s their pro series I think. My only complaint about this one is the reverse sucks.

Simplicity has always made a well thought out product as well as a durable one.
They’re just starting to make a comeback here. Nice to see and hear them again.

No mid PTO as it's an L39 TLB. It's more of a backhoe than a farm tractor, though it's pretty easy to drop the backhoe and use the 3pt. I'd have to get a powered blower that would fit my QA loader arms. They're really expensive, which is why I've held off. I can usually keep up with the driveways with bucket and the plow on the ATV, but if the wind starts blowing I run out of places to push snow. At our previous place, that got a lot more snow, I had a rear mounted blower on a 35hp tractor, but my neck couldn't take that anymore.
Thanks, for the well wishes.
All pre-OP drama and questions have cleared, I am GTG for a new left knee Monday. Figured I better get out shooting one last time, might be 30-45 days before it will happen again.
Son in law A.C. has a DPMS Panther .308 he purchased from his brother in law several years ago (somebody needed money). He's never really shot it much probably due to a remarkably poor scope set up. I got a hold of it, set a 12x Leo in proper height rings, and set it in a corner.
Today was the day to shoot. I'd put together a moderate Varget/175 SMK load, sighted at 50 then lobbed 13 rds at 100. Results...
Knee jerk conclusions:
Somebody who is familiar with the platform and in better shooting shape could knock a inch off this. Do some load work, maybe another 1/2-1". If it was mine, I'd dump it. It only took 20 rds for me to decide this system is not my cup of tea. I'll let A. C. decide what to do with it. Around these parts shooting sticks like this are going for a pretty penny.
New knee photos upcoming later this week.

Same view as yesterday. Using Miss Lori’s little walk behind on the approach to the shop to get to the tractor mounted blower.

And a bubble level. I’m so cornfused on if I need one or not? Think if I started a thread about it, I would get the answer I need?
Its only a good bubble level if it mounts to your rail or is part if your rings/mount.
And you arent smart enough to use it anyway.
And yes, I still have one of the US Optics flip out levels from 12 yrs ago or so.

The 457 shoots alright I guess. These are some 50yd groups off the hood of the gator using the steering wheel and shift levers for rear support. Ammo was Eley Team flat nose. It’ll do good enough for me. The flyer was all me, had a hiccup or burp as the shot broke.

Waiting on the dump trailer to come back today. Then my view once I got back to Hooterville...
Actually been mild. 28 degrees F when I got home.
My 16" shoots like that with BL-C2 and 168 Nosler CCs.
I hate the damn thing.
Going for $1200-1400 locally.
Time to dump it.
Sunrise up here in Alaska a few days ago
Pork tenderloins on the new Traeger, damn they were good.
Also acquired some new to me but very old cast iron pans. They are Wagner Sydney, produced between 1934-1953

I had read from several sources the .308 AR 10 platform was a different animal to shoot compared to a bolt. My meager 20 rd. (and preconceived bias) experience proved it's not a good fit for me. A. C. will decide which way to go with it and I'll support him either way. Even a difficult shooter is better than no shooter.
14 hours into the new knee.
Surgery was text book perfect, staff is very pleased with the result. Ice, oxy and sleep working well, headed home Tuesday. Then the work starts.
@Mooseknuckles Nice finds. The top pic looks like a chicken fryer. If so you'll love it. I have about 20 skillets and dutch ovens, they are the best for cooking just about anything.
MCBQ Range 4 600 yard line today
Again....
Again....
Well I had a brain fart today.
Need a new mail box. Post I put in broke and fail over. So t-post for short term. Lid is messed up.
Got a new box a couple weeks ago. This morning I get the chain saw to cut a hedge post. Hopefully will out last me, I hate redoing stuff. Check bar oil. Check chain. Walk 100 yards to the hedge tree. Start cutting....
I forgot to check the fuel. Oh and the full mixed can is an hour away with my blower at my dads.
30min round trip for fuel and I’m back at it. Sorry no pictures.
right now as I type my boy is playing with his duplo lego.
See how tall he can go.
It broke and hit him in the face.
Pictures are right after.
“see it didn’t hit me that time”
3 times later he moved “out of the way “ and it hits him on the back. Lol.

V plow motor grader limping home late this afternoon. Either gelling up or out of DEF in limp home mode. They’re really struggling to keep the secondary roads passable.
Plowed for a few hours myself today. Had to open the range back up
Our club hosted the archery tournament today. Daughter held high score for middle school girls for our club. Slipped to 7th for middle school overall. The 8th grader that won high overall for middle school was a gal that shot a 280 with 21 tens. Her new personal best.
an amusing side note, during the match I sent a picture to my mom and she texted back, she has her elbow awfully high doesn’t she? So I sent her 11 more pictures, taken over 11 different shots and her elbow is in the same place each time. “Consistent“ Mom texted back.

Isolating in the bedroom with Covid. Going out of my mind from boredom but then I found Bob Ross. Reminds me of staying home sick as a kid.
Ugh. Thats blows man.

Varies a lot from person to person.
Momma and the boys all good?

So far everyone else is fine. I'm not that bad. A cough and I go in and out of a low grade fever.

Anyone want to take a guess.... thats right 1 more.. luckily back where I belong... and if my week goes great once I land at ONT I will be here for atleast a week working without travel...
Amen to Lagavulin.I like your affordable primers, not your blended scotch.I'm a single malt guy. Lagavulin is God's tears.
Please let me know what direction the camera is facing. Sincere question, really. Thanks in advance.
Too red neck or no???
Anything to get the signal, right?
Did I say I love my truck, yet?
