Here's my version. After using it for several days, I discovered it is way over-built, but that's not a problem. More fingers are in the works, I had to prove to myself it would work first. Now I have to figure out what color to paint it...

Now let me see......you have a NH1725, right? O.K........hmm/w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif? Gee, I don't know. Maybe <font color=blue>BLUE</font color=blue> might work? /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif

It is a GREAT looking tree getter! /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

I'm getting a severe case of welder envy, Paul.

Nicely done.

<font color=blue>it is way over-built</font color=blue>

Ain't no such thing.

Gary, please don't take this the wrong way. I don't want to sound like Richard Cranium, but yes, blue is the obvious color. Believe it or not, what's left of the yellow does make it more visible in a dark shed. I don't want to be tripping over this thing. But the <font color=yellow>yellow</font color=yellow> is associated with <font color=green>green</font color=green>. Safety <font color=orange>orange</font color=orange> would work that wouldn't make sense either. You're right, I'll just paint it <font color=blue>blue</font color=blue>.

Antique tractors have often been referred to as "over-built". But, there are thousands of them over 60 years old that are still in use! I agree that there's no such thing as over-built.

Darn good ideal Paul.

Looks like you have more uses than a tree-getter..rock remover,w/a platform install a carry all,loosen up a hard bank for dirt removing etc...

Far as color /w3tcompact/icons/hmm.gif <font color=orange>orange<font color=orange> /w3tcompact/icons/wink.gif

Paul,

Hey, no worries! /w3tcompact/icons/smile.gif I was just having a little fun, that's all. I was actually worried that you might take my comments wrong!/w3tcompact/icons/crazy.gif

Personally, I really don't care what color someone paints something. It's their choice, and if someone else doesn't like it, well that's just too d_ _ _ bad! Heck, my wife (the interior designer) would probably say that color contrast is good! /w3tcompact/icons/eyes.gif

Just make sure that whatever color you do finally decide to use, you take pictures for us!! /w3tcompact/icons/grin.gif

Paul,
Very nice invention. What are the fingers made from?

Paul,
That is a very nice piece of craftsmanship.

Harv,
I have to second your comment. My Dad said this morning that he has a chance to sell his small mig welder and that he was thinking of buying a plasma one. Heck, neither he nor I can use the one he already owns. I need to have somebody teach me.
Maybe we can get Muhammad to start a some TBNr's corrospondance courses, where some of the members can teach us how to do all this stuff. /w3tcompact/icons/laugh.gif
