What strange things have you moved with your loader..pics

Maybe not as exciting as some of the stories here, but I found that I could damp-down the manure composting pile during a dry spell by filling the loader with water and dumping it over the fence. Too far from water for a hose, so this turned out to be a good option. Sorry no pics, but I didn't think it was very interesting at the time.

That reminded me of years ago, when we had a creek and a creek bottom area, we planted some little trees down there, and in the dry part of summer I would go to the creek and scoop up water with the 6 foot bucket on the old Long 2360 and we would water the trees with it.

I once dug out a 30 foot doug fir and moved it 500 feet to a new location and replanted it with my old Cub Cadet.

Did it survive?

Did it survive?

I was afraid someone would ask that. In spite of all I did to keep from damaging the bark, the many wraps of flat strap still bruised the trunk and it died after a couple years. That tree had to go, as it was planted by the guy who used to live in this cabin right where it would take all the morning sun (though this is SW Washington). I had hoped I could save the tree.

A 30' power poll.

Many buckets full of fish carcasses.

4'x4'x2' totes full of fish carcasses.

20' + piece of corrugated steel like they use for bridges to pour concrete on.

A picnic table:

Sold a full size UTV (Polaris Ranger 700 XP) and buyer brought his full size pickup truck with 6.5 ft bed to transport it. I told him it would not work but he insisted it would so he ran it on the truck but the front bumper was against the rear window and the UTV front wheels were not on the floor but instead about half way down the front of the wheel wells. He tried to back it off the truck but all 4 wheels just spun like it was on ice. I thought the guy was going to have a coronary until I got the tractor with fel and straps to lift the UTV off the truck. Anyways, it worked. I ended up hauling the UTV on my trailer to his place. Wish I had taken some pictures.

I loaded a dead VW Bug onto a trailer with my bucket forks for a guy once.
