Howdy all. I bought a Deere 310SG a couple months ago to, among other things, assist in clearing several acres of youpon scrub and opportunistic slash pines from my, hopefully someday, farm. The machine has about 2700 hrs and the PO’s mx was a bit haphazard. The basics, fluids/filters and grease were kept up with, but having been stored near the beach it has some ugly salt corrosion on the ROPS. I’m currently working through that and some spewing cylinders.
I’m 55 and spent 26 years in the USAF. I was trained on acft electronics, but I spent the last ~15 of those years in what’d be termed management roles on everything from test & development to component repairs to flight line mx operations. I had big plans to be a software engineer when I retired, but that was in ‘08 and the job market at the time was in the toilet. I was stressing about being unemployed for the first time in my life when God opened a door and I wound up back at work for the AF doing pretty much the same things I was doing before.
Been married 33 years and have 2 sons. One is a tech at a Porsche dealership and the other works IT support for the FAA.
