The WICKED Root & Debris GRAPPLE!!!!!!!

An Officer and a Gentleman is a great movie too, but they didn't so much as utter the phrase that I can recall.

Yeah I'm sure I have mingled the two. Both good movies involving a charismatic drill instructor in a supporting role.

But R. Lee Ermy was an actual Vietnam era DI.

Yep, heard that first time in USAF Basic training in 1967. Wasn't invented for movies?

Made a late night trip by the freight dock on the way home for the airport...should have taken a trailer.


Got 9 hours on the tractor today with a mix of the bucket and grapple. Did manage to get most of the paint off the bottom half of it by the end of the day

I heard it before 1967, from my ex DI father. He said it during wwII. I am betting it is a lot older than that.

The only phrase I remember from "An officer and a Gentleman" was "Bodacious tah tahs"

Now I know this is a tractor forum but there are some things we just have to be right about so as not to offend the female gender.... They are "tatas"

Very Nice! Time to get some dirt on it.

OK - Still not able to get out to property, but was able to do some work around the house today.

Piled up some cut limbs and grubbed out a few yaupons. Grapple backblades nicely as well.

Move on over to cutting area

Light, but bulky load

Moved to cutting area

Ready to drop for cutting

After cutting and all cleaned up - it was a good day. (Note the paint removal from tines Tom Seller... )

Very nice, not much is better than a grapple.

Great pics again, Snowback!

That yaupon looks like a PITA!
