Old Man Winter going to be Early?

[Dataman]

47f Outside and high of 70f today. Got pellets arriving on 1st Sep. Winterized Last Lawnmower (3 of them) and greased up Front End Loader and Plow On Tractor. Put Plow on Tractor instead of Bucket! Soon to be the Nasty White Stuff come October (last year it was Sep). Boy one of the quick disconnects was hard to connect up. Took Wife and I together to get it put on (snap on easy connect).

Just need to get 5 gallon can filled (Tractor 90% Full). Lay in some Injector Lube and put anti gel in Tractor. Get the Wife's Vehicle Insured (Oil Change Too). Last year was good Winter. But we only had about 14" Total on the Ground because of the Snow and Warmup Melts. Never did get the Ice Layer but once.

I think it's because of "Retired". Always trying to keep Busy. Tractor is ready for Wife to do the Plowing (She Does that I do Snowblower). She loves her John Deer 2032r we got her couple years ago. We tired Blackwards Snow Thrower. Even using Snowblower for driveway (1000ft). She got upgrade from old Mitsubishi MT18 to John Deer. We even tried backward plow. Backward is not fun! Plow on front with Hydraulics is Great!

Do you have a pressure release button?
On my Bobcat there is a button to push or the quick connects can be impossible to hook up.
I have had to loosen the lines on the implements from time to time as the pressure can build in the closed system

It feels like winter may be coming "early" this year in the NW, but that is relative coming off of a strong El Niño cycle. Go back 20 yrs. and this may just be a normal winter compared to back then. Hard to say, stay tuned.

I'm reasonably excited for a "real" winter this year. But if the snow gets too deep it makes it hard to work dogs so I tend to have balanced hopes.
