What have you done with your tractor?

Some of the steel work on my new house.

I like that boom rig you got. Simple but effective.

Some of the steel work on my new house.

That's impressive! What kind of house are you building? Brings back memories of building mine.

Gordon,

Thanks. Just two pieces of 1 1/4" pipe sitting against the back of the bucket, guyed with chains and bolted together at the top with a hook. The chains go through two D rings and are held together with a binder. This will lift anything the tractor can.


Rob,

I bought a steel building and roof. But it will be finished out as a two bedroom, two bath house and four car garage/shop with solar and radiant heating throughout. The rear concrete area is a covered porch. It's a fun project but slow going. The roof framing and sheathing goe on next week! Thanks for the comment.

Here are a some more pix.

Since my tractor is mostly 'hobby' and fun I have used it for:
snow plowing
gravel spreading & grading of the driveway
brush clearing of part of woods
chipping
trenching for underground wiring

This week I will bring it to a small commercial building I own where 'neighbors' have left large pieces of furniture & mattresses by my dumpster. The dumpster is way to high to try to manually lift this crap into it, so with a set of Bradco forks I expect to clean everything up.

I've used my tractor(s) in just about every conceivable manner since I got them.
It might be easier for me to list what I haven't used the tractors for. On second thought, that list would be just as long. Seriously though, they have been work horses. I would never have completed some of the projects like some of you guys did without the tractor. I couldn't imagine how hard that must have been!

"What I have done WRONG with my tractor" is, put too much trust in the go-kart style parking brake.
