Seriously nice shots and tractor. I can't wait to put grapple on mine. |
Yep, I have a thing for toe to toe combat with Mother Nature. It's all about recovering old fields and conservation land from the ravages of time and neglect. It is also the reason I migrated from a CK20 to the DK40se as the KL401 loader/ grapple combo is a truly beautiful thing. The CK was great for moving brush etc but I spent more time with boots on the ground
cutting things down. Now I just rip them out wholesale and cart them away. This time of year the soil is moist so bushes and small trees come up pretty easily in one piece.
I've also become the neighborhood brush mover as my tractorless neighbors stack up debris in grapple size piles that I snatch up and carry away as I drive by. It is interesting to see how they have learned to stack things in a way that makes it easy for me to approach and that they have a pretty good sense now of what I can get in a single bite.
I do use the tractor for other tasks but somehow it's tough to get a good dramatic photo of mowing, digging, chipping, raking etc. I'll try to be creative though and post photos of the other fine qualities of the DK. This morning I have to lift a "fort" on top of a jungle gym with my tree boom. I'll see if I can get a few shots of that.
