Skipper having fun and providing valuable logistical services, moving materials around the boatyard with her John Deere E130 WILEY and Carry On trailer HUEY II. The new tractor hitch is working great, they've moved all of the lumber from the driveway for the Sunfish Shack North build.
One upgrade we made to WILEY was a more aggressive tread on the rear tires to a turf traction tread design. The fine turf tires that come standard on the tractor did not have grip on challenging terrain such as deep gravel or soft soil when pulling carts or trailer. The wider stance also provides some extra lateral stability.
Our Ford Edge ST SUPER SANDY has been doing the hauling from the lumberyard to the driveway, Skipper lets me drive that. I found that using Sport mode provides a better shifting schedule, with helpful earlier downshifting when decelerating.
Orange Cone report: 4 1/2 more feet of decking went down, this slip will most likely be the Penobscot 14 ST. JACQUES' new spot, with the far slip set up for our Alcort Catfish SMEDLEY.
