Only when I lifted the rear off the ground with the disc. Harry

Do you hit the pressure relief alot when pulling the disc?

More progress on my tile project. I removed the thinset from the backer board and the tiles last weekend. What a miserable job that was. Today I laid tiles for the first time. I had to lay the first few tiles a few times because I had too much thinset under the tiles to fit the tiles under the wood trim and or level the tiles with existing tiles. The original tiles were laid with a 1/4" trowel but no back buttering the tiles. I tried 1/4" trowel and back buttering the tiles but had to switch to 3/16" trowel and minimum back buttering. Next weekend I will finish up the grout.

Only when if I didn’t lift the disc frame at the end of a row fast enough. After a couple of squeals a got the hang of lifting and spin the tractor around. Like most things you do the first time. With practice it gets easier. Same when I plowed the first garden last fall. When I got to the second garden it was a piece of cake. I may plow and disc up an area behind my house adjacent to my large garden. It’s still the original area that was a farmers field that I kept mowed over the years. There are some small furrows in it which makes for a bumpy ride in the mower. I would like to smooth it out and put in drainage trench. Projects, projects and more projects. Harry

@MattA! I hear you about removing the old tiles. the new tiles look grea!

Nice tile project Matt. A project to be proud of. Harry

Just in case anyone was wondering, this little cart I got for Father’s Day is kinda handy!

Very neat Jeff, thoughtful present you got!
