Love your machine HD. Plenty strong for wood stuff and with those tires are you doing any skidding as well with it?
Thanks. I have a lot of standing dead elm on my property. I used the forklift to bring that in. i literally lift the logs into the air to avoid dragging in the mud. 2-3 at a time... not big wood mind you...but was fun. it does clear a wide path though...and i am not going to use it much more unless access is good as i'm probably taking out too much with it. i have gone once around the property with it so far and can pull most stumps etc out as i go. mkaing a snowmobile/dirtbike type trail. it has a 4 cylinder Perkins in it. Just put the other fork back on today, i had bent the fork shaft (holds teh fork on the mast) and made a replacement. moved my first pallet with elm on it and didn't spill any..which was a good sign. won't have to make cribs for the wood.
a note on the tires, i've had to learn the art of plugging them. hoping to do new ones..but probably cost the same as i paid for the machine...or more i like the fact most parts i can fab/replace/fix... stick welder is all i need with this thing.
this will be my first full winter plowing with it too... gona put the golf cart enclosure on it and see how that holds up.
i'd type all night, thanks for the comment.
