The tractor was built to be a worker and it has a lot of dings and dents and rust pits on it. The satin is much more forgiving on the rough surface look. The blue paint on the Patriot horse is also a satin. As is, the cinnamon color that is being sprayed on the c-160 we're building right now. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If you don’t mind me asking, What brand and color is that red? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Trina is the one that does 99.9% of the painting here and she really likes the way that lays out. That particular tractor is Satin Poppy Red. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Makes it REALLY REALLY quiet. No bugs in the winter. No pollen in the winter. Crisp dry air and we can look up and see the Milky Way and the stars are very very clear here. We may possibly be slightly excited for the snow season coming up because we have better trail access this year than we have in the past and we're looking forward to doing a lot of snowshoeing in our forest. 3 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah Eric I’m also one of those that love the snow. There’s nothing more peaceful than a freshly fallen snow. Its a sound dampener! I grew up in the Midwest and we had some winter‘s with feet of snow. Here in the south sometimes we don’t get any. Nothing like what you get up there in Maine. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #1386 Posted November 3, 2018 Fun with the kiddos horsing around today! Claudia got to drive Big Red around with the yard cart while her and the little boys cleaned up the remaining nasty old apples... They had fun making “making baskets” with the old apples it was about 45 degrees out but the sun made it feel like a comfortable late fall Wisconsin day. Won’t be long and we will probably be seeing at least traces of the white stuff on the ground. Meanwhile... Caleb and I plowed under the old strawberry garden. It was the first time plowing with Caleb’s Comanche and he had a blast. I was afraid that he was going to start plowing under the lawn when I had my back turned... I wouldn’t trade these days with my favorite little people for anything! 4 8 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Andy N. 2,154 #1388 Posted November 3, 2018 Today, I got the Horses ready for winter. Bring on the snow! Of course, seeing how I did this the first weekend of November, we probably won't get snow for 3 months. 6 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

LengerichKA88 1,883 #1392 Posted November 4, 2018 Moved them both into their new stable the other day, lighting was better today though haha. Also learned not to leave the keys in the tractors, because toddlers will kill your batteries 😂 5 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nat Faust 46 #1393 Posted November 4, 2018 (edited) Took the deck off the C-100 today to clean and also mock up the tiller to make an idler shaft. Afterwards, I worked on machining an axle for another project, but that's not wheel horse related (but maybe also cool?)
