- for Cristmas 2011 found used Joh Deere 670 w/ 40 hrs and options
Hello
My brother convinced me I needed a tractor for my 4.5 acre rock pile. My back when I moved the fire wood in for Christmas confirmed the matter.
I found a JD670 with 40 hours that had been covered and or barned most of it's life with FEL, PH auger, and rake. They delivered just before christmas and I have been creating a mess since then getting used to the tools. Almost took out the gate I was trying to improve the clearance on. Found out that the football size rocks are as much a problem for the PH auger as for me by hand.
Had to make a contraption to hang the auger on before I could get it off the 3 pt as I sure did not want to take it appart again. Had fun making a contraption to Hang a 200# roll of fencing wire from the FEL . Treated it like a paper towel roller with some chain and a piece of pipe. I rolled out 150 feet without a pinched finger or stained back. Now I know why I needed a tractor.
I look foward to finding some good ideas here. Will share some pictures when I figure out how.
Best wishes
