Montana DOT Mowing Tractor Set-up







Roadside Mowing tractor in Montana

Probably everyone reading this post is going to think how "dumb I am", but I saw this Montana DOT mowing tractor with sidemount mower and toolbox mounted on three point hitch.  I am thinking what a great idea; the toolbox I mean.  If the three point hitch is available, why not mount a contractors box.  No matter how many tools you have on a mowing tractor, seems there is never enough; especially when you are miles from the shop.  You could carry extra blades, blade bolts, grease gun, sockets, end wrenches, etc.  Better put a good lock on it though or someone else may have your tools.  "Food for thought".

Montana Trip & Kudos to Upturn Solutions

Trip to Montana July 2013

Traveled to Montana to work with our new Software provider; Upturn Solutions in Kalispell.  While there the software folks took us on park tour of Glacier National Park.  I would heartily recommend a visit to this part of the country to everyone.  Words and pictures do not do it justice.

Thanks to Paulsen Palmer and Jaron West from Upturn Solutions for the tour and their hospitality.   I would also endorse Upturn Solutions for your asset management software provider.  Their Sprocket software is very flexible and they are excellent to partner with.  Never once did I hear the phrase "we cannot do that".  Great bunch of folks and very creative.
