Yep! I think I’ve found the greatest tractor implement ever! Do you have a tractor implement with a lifetime warranty and that won’t rust if you forget to paint the scratches? Do you have a tractor implement that is multi-tasking and yet doesn’t ever leak a drop of hydraulic fluid or cause you to use even one extra drop of fuel? Do you have a tractor implement that works while you sleep? Do you have a tractor implement that sharpens itself? Do you have a tractor implement that is self adjusting and requires zero time for a change-over? Do you have a tractor implement that is “cute”? I didn’t think so!
Our heavily wooded property is bordered on one side by almost a mile of “back-woods” river and I headed out along this river path early this morning with the trusty Kubota in order to start accumulating firewood for next year. I try to keep a year or two ahead with the firewood supply as the Vermont tundra will occasionally see temperatures dip below 80F degrees during the winter.
Upon arrival at the site where I wanted to drop some trees for firewood I noted …they were already cut down! Not only that, but the fallen trees had been stripped of all the small branches. There was no brush pile as all the small branches had even been removed from the area. In addition, a nice tractor width path had been cleared to the site of the felled trees. I also noted that most of the felled trees were of perfect firewood diameter. Using the backhoe thumb and chainsaw I made short work of the felled trees and large branches that were transported back to the firewood storage area for eventual splitting.
Yep, those bank beavers that live along our river have got to be just about the ultimate implement for tractor work! You know, if I could lasso a moose and teach him to dig trenches with his antlers……I might not even need a backhoe!!
