Four below this morning and as I'm sitting at the computer with my first cup of coffee the phone rings. Neighbor lady I plow for has a 40 foot balsam tree snapped off in her driveway, Can I come drag it out of the way? . Tractor not plugged in but I'll be up. Air preheater works great and JD starts right up. Had to put the chain saw in by the furnace to get that stated in case I needed it. I switched out from plow to bucket which took five minutes as I haven't done that enough times yet to get good at it. Once up the half mile drive I hooked onto the tree and pulled it effortlessly out around her barn through a foot of crusted snow and off to a log pile, then used the loader to stack it on the pile. Her brother and a carpenter that were there remodeling her house for her were impressed that I could pull the whole tree and the carpenter wanted to know where I got the soft cab.
It sure is nice having the right tool for the job.
