Angry Beaver project (FEL build)

When you are done with it, you will wonder why you didn't build it sooner.

This afternoon, used it to pick a few decent sized rocks out of the ground. Most I placed on my rock pile, a couple now serve as "decoration" where a buried boulder just peaks above ground. I keep hitting it with my mower.After done with rocks, I used it to rip out and then dispose of a briar patch. I was clearing other brush as dark fell and since the lights don't work, I quit. Nice thing is while doing this work, I didn't have to get off the tractor much.

Efficiency. Not getting on/off the tractor means I can work faster and thus utilize my time in more effective manner.

I did have to dismount for some of the rocks so they were in a better position on the tractor. The largest I moved made the old beast a little uncomfortable hanging way out there, particularly since the ground was pretty uneven. Pucker moment or two you know.

Behind that wall of bushes was this....

Got to love that little beast.

Oh, yeah. I've had a couple pucker moments as well. 1st gear in high range just seems soooooo **** fast sometimes...

Cut up a huge oak right by my house today. Wish i would have had a grapple, but whatever it worked... pics later... i'm beat!

The Angry Beaver makes for some awesome firewood handling skills... I hate handling wood 2 and three times... I can load up one of these crates and with 500lbs of counterweight, it is just enough to safely move it around the property. It also makes an easy cleanup after dropping a tree!
